I wouldn't say it's a sad state of affairs.

- ASOS is the Amazon of clothing, shipping internationally. I think it's the number on online clothing retailer in Australia.

- As much as we all hate Wonga, in terms of technology they we're the first fully automated loans company.

- Just Eat (exactly the same as Seemless for the UK) is also an amazing accomplishment for a company/website, uniting thousands of takeaways. (That's what we can to-go restaurants in the UK).

I'm fairly proud we have some huge ($15 billion dollar) home-grown companies in these areas (even if Wonga is evil).
