I really wish australia would get into silicon foundry and semiconductor manufacturing businesses. We have the space, we have the geo stability ( lots of our space is really old and very stable from a geological standpoint...it finished moving yonks ago), we produce most of the precursor compinents in their raw forms in absolute masses or have the capacity and resources to do so and we also have the political stability.

But alas, our politicians are short sited, our companies lack the willingness to make it happen. It feels like a massively missed opportunity.
