I believe that the majority of Australian would like a government that extrated the least ammount of taxes and allow as minority demographic that mistakes resources with ability and talent. That voice I feel is the death of Australian innovation and any Australian economic growth. I feel the underlying strategy of any small team or business unit is that units relationship and their steps to reach that goal.

We've got US money streaming into our bank account, so it all evens out. But yeah, the hosting situation in this country is atrocious. I asked a couple of ISP's "so why in the name of CRUM are people using you guys at all??? Why don't they just go off-shore??" And they said "well they don't have the high-end requirements you guys do". I even urged a few of them to buy a frakkin server and put it in the US for me, so I could keep my relationship locally but still avoid the "Telstra tax". They didn't seem to be interested.

Undoubtedly though TPN has now contributed further to our trade deficit :-) It really is sad isn’t it that we cant keep our money in Australia, I’ve experienced the same thing myself and the US hosts are always 5-10 times cheaper, and then you get the local guys telling you how much risk you take going off shore because they don’t want to compete on dollars…maybe one day.
