Chinese skyscraper built in 19 days.

and this

Would love to see Australians be let of the leash and employing engineers/tradesman etc to build the future, but apparently SSM is the hot topic go figure.

So what holds us back. “Most problematic factors for doing business” according to the World bank survey. And what are the top 4? Government, government, government and government:

Restrictive labor regulations
Tax rates
Inefficient government bureaucracy
Tax regulations
Yeah. Chinese skyscraper built in 19 days. I'll be staying out of that building thanks.

As for the South Australians and construction........it takes them forever.

First they need to talk about it for 30 years.

Then the Enviromental Impact Study needs to be redone (because it's 30 years old).

Then some activist group block it because the view of the "Hill's Face Zone" is impaired. Or 3 trees have to be removed from the sacrosanct Parklands.

When construction finally starts, they only build half and "promise" the rest in another 30 years !

As for the World Bank survey......I don't see the link between Government built infrastructure and "doing business". I think that is the problem right there !!
