And there is part of the answer.

I build a world class product in Taupo.

I see Larry Ellison's guys making a world class product in Wellsford.

Rocket Lab aren't too bad.

The local made stuff that was rubbish shouldn't have been tolerated - but in someone else's words, we suffered from the tyranny of low expectations.

I think we need to believe that NZ can be more than a country of baristas and bus drivers.

P.s. I'm not equating myself with Larry Ellison. What I'm saying is that we can do as well in the industries that scale to NZ as anyone else, anywhere else.
