It is a shame the article focussed on Adelaide being cheap. I wouldn't mind looking at the report to see what other comparative advantages there are to the place.

You must have missed this bit BP
"The report, the result of an eight-month study, says Adelaide was in the top three places in the world for key industry sectors including automotive, food processing, plastics, metal components, advanced software development and multimedia development"
(not that i'm gloating or anything)

Australia ranks as one of the lowest cost business locations in the world
19/2/2004
Leading business advisory firm KPMG today revealed that Australia is one of the least costly places to set up and do business in a study that compares business costs in 11 industrialised countries in Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe, with this being the first time Australia has participated in the study. Narrowly ahead of Australia in cost competitiveness was Canada, whereas the most expensive countries to set up and do business were Japan and Germany.
The United States, seventh in the rankings, had the greatest improvement in cost-competitiveness since 2002 of any of the countries in the study mainly due to the decline in the value of the US dollar relative to all major world currencies. By comparison, Australia holds an 8.5 percent cost-advantage over the United States.
KPMG's 2004 Competitive Alternatives study measured 27 cost components-such as labour, taxes and utilities-applied to business operations in the following 11 countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. The research included an analysis of these costs in 121 cities worldwide. The study's basis for comparison was the after-tax cost of start-up and operation for 12 types of business, over a 10-year span.
"This study offers a comprehensive guide for comparing global business costs and contains essential information for any company seeking a cost advantage in locating international business operations," said Mitch Craig, KPMG National Partner in Charge of Risk Advisory Services.
