Eh, we had things then we don’t have now - diphtheria, rickets, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, polio, and a captive Commonwealth marketplace.
However, in today’s economies, 75% of Australia and NZ food exports go to China, East Asia, and the Oceanic countries (including USA) - do you really believe it makes economic sense to ship things 10,000 miles around the world when you have existing profitable markets closer to hand.
