The collapse of Australias car industry has also raised concerns in the Australian parliament. The opposition has accused Prime Minister Tony Abbott of not doing enough to persuade Toyota not to close down its factories.

　　Mr Abbott has argued that he cannot be blamed for the industrys long-term decline, because he has been in office for only a few months.

　　Traditionally, Australias car industry has received billions of dollars in government assistance. The government has asked its productivity commission to investigate public support for the automotive industry. The commission carries out research, and makes suggestions on economic, social and environmental issues.

　　The group has noted that big changes are taken place in Australias car industry. It says the changes are affecting both industry employees and manufacturers of car parts. The commission is planning to give its final report to the government by the end of March.
