Bah. Australia has segued from Japan to China. India is next.

There are 3 billion people desperate for the sort of first world accommodation that only steel makes possible. We'll be fine.

> We've built a number of great marketplace startups

We are a tiny (population) country, and to expect American or China levels of opportunity is unfair. Australia will always be a place with different trade offs. If you want billions, move. If you want full-on tech, move.

But if you want Bondi beach, the opera house, arthouse cinema, great food with a decent job and some work-life balance, or can leverage a larger population base and work from home, this is the best place there is.
