The funding debacle offered the perfect excuse.

Remember that before Ford announced its closure, Holden had announced
a grandiose local manufacturing plan that went beyond 2020.......
So this horse crap about Holden always wanting to leave was just not true,
they like Ford found ways to extend their time here until they couldn't anymore..
Barely twelve months after Ford called it quits, all of that had changed as the
attitude of governments supporting local manufacture turned toxic on the back
of incessant Murdoch press badgering about governments supporting car companies.
