Yes. Any reason for Australia's existence seems to be disappearing. We don't make anything. We export raw materials that we are told are bad for the climate; we don't want to use them ourselves. But, we are great at filling the place up with the Third World - as unemployment rises.

Working-from-home can be done from someone's home in Bombay.
