It doesn't take much innovation to dig up dirt and put it on ships. WA is a one trick economy. NZ doesn't have the option of being a one trick economy.

It puzzles me. Is it actualy something in the water killing peoples drive to innovate? How can the state that carries something like a third of the countries economic value with just 10% of the countries population not be full of bright innovators and people with the money to take a chance bootstrapping something. It's always confused me how it can be like this. Mainly as it continues to frustrate my efforts to grow a company here in Perth. So I guess I'll put a call out to anyone in Perth or any regular visitors, would you come to a regular drinks/meetup?
