We used to have a great time when we used to be drunk impersonating him when he does his little "infomercials"....
I had hoped he had been run outta town by now....

I suppose the high earners are happy to participate in this poll, whereas the low earners don't want to bother(!)

I suppose thinking about it, the brits coming over have to go through hoops to get here, and so may be better than the average ? Which is obviously what the Australian government would be wanting.
Just a personal theory, but I bet spouse visas cover a wider range of incomes, whereas skills visas are more likely to be in the higher bracket?

Re: Wages in OZ. Are you happy with yours ?
I'm not sure if I like the results of this poll !
We are now in the bottom 25% of these earners !! Just as well I am not here for the money
Polly: Most spouse visa holders may also be secondary family incomes, (although not all), so would not be in this poll as the main family wage.
Next poll could be one for the secondary income ? Which would logically have lower averages, but then thats gets complex, as some will be part time etc. Probably need a 100 options to get all the answers

Re: Wages in OZ. Are you happy with yours ?
I dont like these polls, followed one that showed the least likely place people would leave australia from (ie go back to UK) showed up darwin and canberra, simply because nobody really goes there to start with. Please dont get pedantic, I mean hardly anyone in comparisom to say NSW or something.
Plus I watched when this wages poll first went up, three $1250 plus popped up straight away, very funny if you were watching who was online at the time!
Another amusing poll was where the majority of posters had been to OZ prior to emigrating, which makes rather a mockery of the questions asked on here that are blindlingly obvious that most have never got closer to OZ than crikey mate its the Mr Irwin show
Instead of voting in which anyone can put any old clack just to swing the argument, I'll say
Me builder wage totally unpredictable, but if I was a carpenter on wages I would earn just over $1000 a week gross.
Wifes administration job, pays $620 gross a week.
Son is now on comission but as a property manager qualified he earnt $495 gross a week.
Wifes friend sitting here earns as a registered nurse employed casually $19.60 an hour.
Most aussies are not shy to tell you what they do and what they earn, ask away

Re: Wages in OZ. Are you happy with yours ?
It's an odd situation. I'm earning well over AUD$1250 a week here in the US, but I know I'm not going to be earning that when I get home as the job I do here doesn't exist in Australia.
So, what I'll actually get once I get a job back home is anyone's guess.
