The good news is yes there are some escape destinations. A few of my pals have moved their businesses and families to Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines and all are prospering in those nations that offer real incentives.
Australia has an increasing list of disincentives such as payroll tax, an ever-increasing mountain of red, green and black tape rules and regulations, over the top wages and conditions resulting in an unmotivated workforce who are still down the covid rabbit hole of entitlements demanding, with pursed lips, to work from home.
As the owner of 2 small businesses, I can tell you that if Albo is returned, I will close one down and move the other, a technology company, to the US, because Trump is making it attractive with sensible tax structures and incentives.

Personally, I like the Pacific and Hawaii appeals to me as a US destination for the business. Exactly halfway from Brisbane to Hawaii lies the idyllic nation of Samoa. For a semi-retirement occupation I have last week applied for the post of Harbour Master in the port of Asau on the island of Savai'i. As this port has been unused for 20 years and the entry channel is overdue for a dredge campaign, my offer of a zero salary may attract a swift approval for the position.
Unless the lily-livered Coalition can pull a rabbit out of their hat and Albo gets re-elected, those companies, large and small, who have had a taste of left wing labor promises of "free stuff", will be off.
Don't say I didn't tell you!
