Australia has the 7th highest per capiter income in the world, I did not use the high labour cost of Australia, or the low labour cost of asia to become succesfull in business. My busines was importing second hand Japanese cars from high labour cost Japan. Australia once had big import duties on imported cars which made them exspensive, and there depreciation was low as people could not afford to replace them as often, In japan cars depreciated quickly as they were cheape and desposable, I could make a lot of money in the second hand depreciated price of these second hand cars from japan as they were right hand drive, Now this business is not finacialy viable as Australia has reduced it's tarrafs on cars so making cars in Australia cheape like in Japan, the world has now become a market ecconomy and it has become harder to make money in this way. after I finnished importing cars I started a high tech low labour intensive printing franchise, developping and selling printing small printing businesses all over australia. I then sold my franchise company and semi retired. I can tell you the cost of Australian labour was never a major factor in my business as the business structure was always capital intensive.
I would also gladly give 90% of my current assets away if it ment reducing Australia's population down to the levels of the 1920's and having exstinct animals such as the Tasmainian devel walking the planet again.
