Because all Oz resients pay tax to their government, this covers the bill for healthcare and education etc which their families make use of.
If the resident moves offshore in some scheme whereby their employer increases company profits with the promise of a lower tax regime for the resident, then it is the Australian taxpayer which must pick up the tab for these services as the resident is now contributing to some foreign governments coffers.
