So debilitating is SES that, even though "Start Up Nation Finder 2017 listed almost 2000 active innovation start-ups based in Tel Aviv," and only "390 in Jerusalem," (ibid) sufferers such as Mr Guy are invariably rendered blind to all such mundane considerations.

Poor Bastards
The brain-busting psychiatric disorder, hereinafter known as Shifting Embassy Syndrome (SES), which currently afflicts so many in the federal Liberal Party and the ruling LNP coalition government, has now, tragically, spread to the Liberal opposition in the state of Victoria, with its leader Matthew Bloke Guy flagging "a Jerusalem trade office as one of his top priorities.... Mr Bloke Guy said he was not interested in the political implications of the decision, and he had been driven to make the move by a trip to Israel last year during which he saw the opportunities in Jerusalem." (State Libs' Israel call 'risks backlash', Samantha Hutchinson, The Australian, 22/11/18)

What do we gain from either a Tel Aviv office or a Jerusalem office? If we must let's have an office where there is a much bigger high-tech base such as Shenzhen or Bangalore. Closer to home, and more likely to be a springboard to a much bigger market. And very significant numbers of students from India and China in Melbourne to cement the connection. There is no good business reason to choose to site such an office in Israel. This is from a few years ago but I suspect little has changed:
