This whole emphasis on physical location and physical presence seems bizarre, to me.  Oughtn't the goal to be able to leverage modern technology so as to accomplish anything from anywhere with anybody?

Australia is a big place.  Oughtn't VPN/telecommuting, 3G/4G mobility, virtual NOC capabilities, and so forth be the norm rather than the exception?
