Holden boss Mike Devereux told a Productivity Commission hearing in Melbourne this morning the company had not decided whether to stay or go and that no timetable had been set to make such a decision. The Federal Government has criticised the statement, saying it "just adds to the uncertainty". "We want them to be honest about it, we want them to be fair dinkum," Mr Hockey told Parliament. "Either you're here or you're not." Acting PM Warren Truss has written to Mr Devereaux asking for an immediate clarification about the company's plans for its Australian operations.

It didn't stop government spending more than it earned. But that's not the point. A debt ceiling is an assurance that going further into debt has at least some political cost, as Julia Gillard and Wayne Swan found out. By abolishing the Australian debt ceiling, the Coalition has removed some of the pressure to get the budget back into line. And if there isn't enough pressure, it simply won't happen.
