Ever since five years ago, MTAA lost its biggest members, which hold about 80 percent of the Australian automotive industry - MTA News South Wales, MTA Queensland, the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce (VACC) and the Tasmanian Automobile Chamber of Commerce (TACC).
MTAA currently comprises organizations from Western Australia, South Australia, Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory. According to GoAuto, these organizations declined to join the ones that left (united under the Australian Automotive Industry Association - AAIA), because of their belief that problems should be solved in the existing group.
Delaney will continue to keep his management role at the MTAA Super Fund. This group is one of the country's largest industry funds, comprising 290,000 members and managing more than $5.5 billion in funds.
According to some analysts, Delaney's departure main spawn a change of attitude from MTAA, who may turn to the defective parties. Until now, Delaney was in charge of both the Super Fund and the MTAA Limited, the industry federation.
The defective parties left because the MTAA was not effective in "addressing key regulatory issues and in dealing with a threat to individual motor traders from increasingly powerful big businesses."
