Australia is the same size as the mainland of USA but has very few people but many resources. The main reason for this is a lack of water which has kept settlement low and around the coasts. If Australia could provide almost limitless water in the future with desalination plants and other emerging technologies, do you think it has the potential to become a global superpower due to its large size, great climate and relative proximity to Asia? I would say yes ONLY if the water issue is solved.

aus cant even compete globally when it comes to internet speeds... the masters like the status quo as is...
More people means cheaper goods and services due to economies of scale. That's one of the main reasons why the US overall has such a lower cost of living compared to Australia. Having a lower cost of goods and services would increase Australians quality of life.
No, sweatshops in developing countries mean cheaper goods. We have $2 T shirts too. The reason why a can of coke or a TV are expensive in Australia is because of tariffs and taxes, and they should be expensive. The actual cost of living outside of housing is much cheaper in Australia.

Housing is crazy in cities and traffic rules are harsh

No not just housing but everything is way overpriced in Australia from fuel to consumer goods to groceries. I remember going into several grocery stores when I visited and was appalled how expensive even basic groceries like fruit and vegetables were compared to the US and Canada. The cost of living in Australia is way too high and it lowers the quality of life from how high it could be.
You need to improve native Australians quality of life, then think big
Agreed... same could be said for Canada and USA too.
