Submarines and Manufacturing are easier for the politician to point at though.
It's a bit hard for the constituency to see R&D & digital infrastructure.
And just to be clear - I am not disagreeing with you!! Pollies just seem to like things people can see.

No worries at all. The bigger question is - how the hell can Australia survive like this? I work in retail and it is beyond salvation - salaries are so high we can't afford to put more staff on. The staff I look after are scraping by on reduced hours. Let's not even talk about health care and education which the rest of my family is in - if we could import labour into Australia trust me, the employers would jump at it. And essentially that is what BP has done, except the processing plant happens to be based in Singapore.
Someone tell me some good new!
