Why Australia couldn't produce Bill Gates?

• The first thing is he would have been encouraged to study law; just like his dad. In the 1970s lawyers had far more status and career prospects than software developers in Australia.

• No bank wouldn’t be interested in lending and Bill Gates' other alternatives would restricted. Banks reluctant to lend to anyone who doesn’t have real estate equity to secure their loans.

• Taxation and social security systems: under Australian government policies an inventor, innovator or entrepreneur is risky; ATO starts with the assumption all small or new businesses are tax dodges; ASIC punishes anyone with the temerity to consider building an business rather than buying investment properties.

• Australia have a society that favours property speculation over invention and innovation. It’s far safer to get a safe job, buy a house then start buying investment properties to fund your retirement.
