I’m dismayed that Australia isn’t doing more to foster local fabs.

Australia is (by geography) an Asian country with easy access to China/Taiwan/Korea & Japan.

It makes a more sense to let the experts to the north build fabs and for Australia to focus on things we're already good at. Like biotech.

If we're going to invest to break in to new fields, it should be energy technologies (solar, nuclear, etc) and transportation technologies.
