Unfortunately too many Australians are swayed by scare campaigns and vote against their own interest.

The mining super profits tax, franking credits, and similar failed reforms benefited only the top 1% of 1% of Australians, yet people voted against them.

Hopefully the recent negative gearing and trust changes stick.

I guess that's the question - how fast can you build required plants during war time?

How do you get the very bespoke equipment from overseas if supply chains are being attacked?

Where do you get the designers and operational staff, bearing in mind the industry might have been closed for a while and all prior talent has retired or died?

What's the risk of above vs the government subsidising a plant to keep it operational and known good state?

Best thing about markdown is the barrier to entry of non technical folks, it stops them shitting over technical documentation and steers them to Confluence or sharepoint for their die on the vine slop.
