South Korea doesn't have any SMRs.

South Korea is succeeding economically because they invest 5% of their GDP into R&D.

It's given them Samsung, Kia, Hyundai, etc, etc, etc.

In contrast, Australia invests less than 2%. One of the lowest in the OECD, if not the world.

South Korea's economy is driven by innovation.

In contrast, Australia's had the LNP orcs in power for the last 10 years continually cutting funding to universities and other scientific organisations like CSIRO.

When was the last time a really great piece of innovative technology came out of Australia? Our best researchers leave the country and go to places like the US, South Korea and Japan, and have success there instead of here.
