Absolute:
For someone like ASA, develop it for Australian-use, but also license it for overseas use. Australia could provide it "free of charge, for a given period (say 5-10 years)" to developing nations that can't afford to do this themselves.
You obviously have no idea of the history of Australian designed aviation technology. Such an attempt as you suggest would end in tears after a very large sum of taxpayers and aviators money had been spent.
