Technically it is GMH, General Motors Holden, which is owned by General Motors in America. I dare say it is a publically listed company in the USA, ie shareholders, not sure how/if Aussies can buy into it though.
Happy to be corrected  ;D

I read somewhere recently that "the only thing better than Vegemite is the look on a tourist's face the first time they try it"  ;D  Personally, I can't stand the stuff...

And just to stay on topic, General Motors are indeed listed on the US Stock Exchange ($2).
