BB I noticed the same at the Ford plant, all smiles and looking happy with a bleak future to look forward to for many of them. A fully paid gap year doesn't go very far when you are looking at the long term unemployment for many of them. So glad I am as old as I am so I am out of the workforce and away from this horrendous traffic chaos that Melbourne is developing into as a result of 2000 people a week coming to live here. What I want to know is with all the manufacturing closing what are these people doing for work. We can't work it out but we sure know that the road and rail can't keep up
