One one hand we see some politicians puffing their chest and simply waving goodbye at Google.
On the other, I wonder what's the net brain flow coming in and out of Australia, and how that attitude regarding tech affects it.
- Barrin92 6y agoMy suspicion would be that more tech workers leave Australia for the US than move there, and if the government were to combine kicking Google out with domestic industry programs it could have a positive effect on retaining talent.
- thundergolfer 6y agoI’m an Australian that would be delighted to work in public service on ambitious projects. My confidence in the government being able to make it work is essentially zero. It’ll take decades to fix what’s broken in Australia’s public IT sector, and with the Liberal party in power we ain’t starting today. Just having Scott Morrison read The Entrepreneurial State would be a start, but I’m not convinced that the man actually reads books.
- girvo 6y agoAnecdotally most of my developer friends have moved to the US. I prefer Brisbane’s lifestyle so I’m still here.
- wussboy 6y agoI’m curious. What is Brisbane’s lifestyle like? Would love to visit.
