Why is there no tech industry in Australia?
>tropical rainforests in the north, temperate ones in the south
>interesting unique wildlife
>many biomes, with the outback to tie them together
>ties to England with many cultural differences to set it apart
>Australia is a common vacation destination for japs
>soulful cities: sydney, melbourne, perth
>Outback, coral reefs, desert, plains, Sydney, coasts, beaches
none of that is a reason to have a tech industry
answers still haven't changed
digereydoonix
for the same reason that you keep making this thread, c**t
the answer is unknowable
You low iq bogan morons can't into tech.
Apathetic statist cuck population, basically only an off shore mine and real estate money laundering operation for China.
>le /misc/can has arrived
How many boosters did you take?
booster? i hardly know 'er!
har har har
They have Atlassian and a homegrown quant trading firm that is quite successful, can't remember its name right now. But yes, I don't think they have anything else apart from these 2.
Akuna, probably. There are lots of Australian tech firms, and many have been bought by American companies
They spawned Atlassian, a curse upon the world.
Boomers don't understand it and refuse to so IT is neglected / underfunded.
>way out in the middle of fricking nowhere
there's your reason
its really an interesting experiment of how much of a shithole an english country could become if its separated from other civilized countries like this. Really makes you think.
If UK was in the middle of the atlantic ocean probably would look the same.
I'm never leaving the US but there are few places more disgusting than the modern UK. Australia > UK and it's not close.
Servers don't work upside down.
Paying $129 for 1000/50 fiber made me realize that there's just no point in bothering with tech in this country. Being able to use Windows makes you a wizard to people here. I just want to get a trade at this point.
australian here
there is NO aussie industry, period
we are china's lapdog but we wanna be america so bad, so we get assraped by international mining and oil companies, sell everything we produce to china, buy it back for 10x the price, all while trying to be gay Black personloving homosexuals like the USA
country run by some of the dumbest c**ts alive. imagine paying 3 trillion dollars to build subs we don't even get to keep to patrol the border of our biggest ecconomic partner at the behest of america's politicians. it's a fricking joke. meanwhile, we pass a bill that means Black folk don't have to pay tax and get interest-free loans, on top of incentives to be hired (subsidised wages) and huge government (read: taxpayer) payouts. and don't even get me started on the voice c**t, nearlt half the fricking ciuntry wanted to gice these entitled pricks a uniquiely unassaible seat in parliment with the potential to yay/nay any law wothour challenge, nevermind the fact that none of the people who would have been on that council were abos anyway.
AARRGJGHHH I FRICKINF HATE IT HERE GOD FRICKING DAMN IT AUSTRALIA JS THE WORST FRICKING WESTERN COUNTRY
>there is NO aussie industry, period
What about Ford and Holden? Telstra? Coles and Woolies?
>What about Ford and Holden?
lmao
>Telstra
every country has a telecom. some are even nationalised!
>Coles and Woolies
food as an industry for the layperson is just logistics, which isn't a food industry unique thing
>food as an industry for the layperson is just logistics, which isn't a food industry unique thing
You have IGA mate
fords aren't made here and holden has been dead for a decade at least, since 2000 they were made in korea and since 2016 there haven't been ANY holdens made anywhere
telstra is hardly an "industry", it's owned by the government same as NBNco, ergon, etc. look at all the major shareholders and where their funding comes from.
coles and woolies are also not "industry", they are a duopoly that fricks over every single person in thr chain except their execs. look uo the recent lawsuits agaisnt them for price fixing.
nearly all "auatralian" mimes are owned by overseas companies. glencore have entire mining towns in WA and QLD where there isn't a single australian citizen living, they fly vietnamese workers in and out. all the other aussie workers are employed by iverseas companies who take all the material and resell it back to us or to china, who we then buy it off.
our natural resources are mined by our hands for foriegn investors to sell back to us for more than what we're paid to do it. it's a fricking joke.
BHP and Rio Tinto are two of the biggest mining companies in the world.
yeah im only saying glencore because my mate works FIFO for them underground, i know there's plenty others and i know that onky a small handful are australian-owned and even those ones i have my doubts about where that money goes
>onky a small handful are australian-owned
that's just not true, anon. your friend might be moronic
how about do your own research?
How many mines and servos are strayan owned?
mines? that's literally the number I just presented, 86% are foriegn, ergo 14% are australian-owned.
servos? no idea, I assume BP and Shell own a good chunk, neither of which are australian companies.to my knowledge, the inly major servo franchise that is aussie is Unitee, which is "major" in that theres about one of those for every 5 BPs and 5 Shells, so at a guess I'd say 20% or less of servos are aussie owned
>the inly major servo franchise that is aussie is Unitee
You're forgetting Ampol
i mean yeah, those are public companies. the same as every big company nowadays. glencore is not swiss, apple is not american.
Mining doesn't count as industry? Seems like every person I meet from Australia is either in a job somehow related to the mining industry or they're on a gap year and their dad works in the mining industry. Never met an actual miner, not sure if they exist, but lawyer and accountants for mining companies? Seem to be lots of Australians who do that.
You been to school
Mining is primary
Refining is secondary
Using refined to make tools/products is also secondary
And then selling Satnav for that is tertiary.
Some refinement is done in Australia, but its very insignificant.
So basically Australia is occupying the niche that do not lead to long term prosperity. Toyota and Hyundai and LG will still be around if the place they source minerals from shift, but Australia can't do that as a exporter.
>we pass a bill that means Black folk don't have to pay tax and get interest-free loans
?? which bill
https://www.ato.gov.au/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-peoples/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-peoples-and-individual-tax/receiving-native-title-benefits

abos don't pay tax on "native title income" which makes up a significant oortion of "first nations people"s income in many areas, there is also talk of a bill to allow them to apply for home and vehicle loans interest free. in the NT 20-30 years ago, many abos were able to purchase cars on interesr free loans with the first x% covered by thr goverbment, and almost none of them ever paid it back, t. i was there when it was happening
>Example – Individual receiving a native title benefit
Mae is an Aboriginal woman who lives in Western Australia. Every year, she receives a $100,000 native title benefit from a mining company. The mining company uses the land to mine for iron ore.
Mae is not taxed on this $100,000 because it is a native title benefit, which is NANE income and is not taxable.
WTF! There are abos being paid 100k tax free because they're abo...?
the way your c**try is going, you'll be able to identify as abo soon
just hold on
yes mate, and my understanding is, glencore don't have to pay tax on that $100k spent to mine that land either
government fricking themselves over with this one
but importantly, if i was black i could claim to be the kast descandant of the olgawoodga jigunbaura people and say that mine in on my traditional land, and now i get paid $100,000 a year tax free by glencore or whoever for doing literally nothing except being black
All American allies end up like this. They were a great country but the Black personloving has destroyed them and made them the great Satan.
Digging rocks out of the ground is not technology
every aspect of IT infrastructure is extremely expensive here
A lot of tech companies operate here. Even some rural cities have tech companies operating in them because of lower taxes.
You just aren't looking if you can't actually find any.
what companies do jeets work on then ?
It's a hot shithole with a stupid accent
Here we go again. Sigh.
How do I get on DSP as an undiagnosed autist? Just go to a doctor and get an official diagnosis? Is autism enough for DSP?
get GP to give mental health plan for psych, get psych to diagnose with autism, go into cenno with a MLP plushie and shit your pants while asking for DSP help/paperwork.
The biggest problem is
>Australia
What a fricking shit place full of shit people.
thanks liberals
>why is there no [insert blank] in australia?
socialists
If there's no tech industry, wtf are all those pajeets doing in Australia then?
what is it with boomers and uber jeets
They have uhhhh.... Canva.com and Envato.com?
>Melanie Perkins is an Australian billionaire technology entrepreneur, who is the CEO and co-founder of Canva and owns 18% of the company.
There was Attalassian, but the gobt killed it and the entire industry with their mandatory gag orders that can force technicians to implant backdoors.
At least in the US and UK the glowwnggr community does the same thing under the hood without bothering employees or customers.
if there's no tech industry then why are millions of chinks and pajeets?
