As quoted in the article “Governments are not good at picking winners”. So many times in the past Australia has lost great opportunities that have drifted overseas to become giants in their prospective industries. We have enormous wealth held in the critical metals still in the ground that could value add into creating long term employment for the Australian Workforce but it never eventuates.
Hopefully this is the moment that is the catalyst to engender clear thinking and once for all get on with catching up with the rest of the world. IMO
