A number of Australian businesses last night told me they have set up shop in the US, in the UK and in other countries. They advised me that their success overseas is not recognised here and that even though they have products that are fit for purpose, cost effective and generally excellent, they are all considered too risky by the Department of Defence. Why are Australian companies being forced offshore to succeed?
