At least with GST we can be selective. Income tax is still lower than NZ
NZ is a joke. If you want to see how not to run a western economy, look at NZ.

Aus would be in the same boat if it weren't for the good fortune of our natural resources.

Partly true but NZ has had many years of socialist economic mis-management under that stupid woman. Maybe we will go the same way now that we have a socialist/union-led government but I doubt it.

Dubai is a craphole with no quality of life, agriculture, countryside etc.
Shit loads of skyscrapers does not make it a desirable place to live.

I cannot for the life of me see the appeal of Dubai. Sure, as a place to make shit loads of money in a short space of time or to visit it's okay, but now western people are seeing it as a place to move to. It's hot (many months of constant high 40s), humid, has no countryside and it's Muslim.

Bizarre.

Damn right, I've got a wife and 2 daughters, I don't even like taking them there for a stopover.

[QUOTE=renth;5633623]Australia would have the best infrastructure in the world if we imported slaves from Asia to work 7 days a week for next to nothing.



John Howard was working on it, it was called work choices.

Somewhere we end up paying - the question is which way is best for the majority, bearing in mind often the majority does not know what is best for them. This is not out of intelligence or ability but simply short term issues cloud long term goals/targets.

Won't happen mate, how do you think al-qaida affords its war with the west, dubai based sponsor ship in return for complete immunity

My wifes family have lived and worked over there for many years and have come to despise it. They are desperate to come here but unfortunately he cannot get out of the golden handcuffs.

Great place to visit but not a great place to spend the rest of your life, russian prostitutes everywhere and filthy rich arabs turning the streets into death traps in high powered sports cars with no idea of how to drive...
