Re: POSSIBLY CONSIDERING OZ... ?

I'm not sure, but I know they disapprove of backbiting and bullying (which is why a lot of the replies to my thread were deleted).

I apologise if I'm breaking rules by duplicating my post, but as...

Re: POSSIBLY CONSIDERING OZ... ?

I was being (or rather, trying to be) ironic - I thought Obama was championing the cause for a national health system like ours? (I've watched a bit of Fox news and everyone seems to hate the guy!).

Re: POSSIBLY CONSIDERING OZ... ?

Re: POSSIBLY CONSIDERING OZ... ?

Your post was very insightful and opened my eyes to a lot of things about Australia of which I wasn't aware... if we do think seriously about moving there it'll have to be after lots of research into...

Re: POSSIBLY CONSIDERING OZ... ?

Not sure about non-EU countries but anyone in the EU can indeed just walk in, no questions asked. I have no idea why they'd want to (apart from the obvious £ incentives) - in the Independent today it...

Re: POSSIBLY CONSIDERING OZ... ?

You misunderstand me (don't worry, you're not the first :D): I don't hate immigrants and have nothing against them coming here to work if they buy / rent their own house, spend their wages in this...

Re: POSSIBLY CONSIDERING OZ... ?

Re: POSSIBLY CONSIDERING OZ... ?

Do they have a 'bush fire' levy, too?! ;) Well I know we'd never be on the top tax rate - maybe $100k would be our maximum? (£60k?). I know Australia was expensive back in 2004 but I've not been...

Re: POSSIBLY CONSIDERING OZ... ?

I agree with all your points, and yes I'm looking at a list of PROs and CONS I wrote earlier, as I type this! One of my biggest worries is moving to another country and encountering the same problems...

Re: POSSIBLY CONSIDERING OZ... ?

Re: POSSIBLY CONSIDERING OZ... ?

Thanks, I'll try those. I think Australia's highest tax rate is 37% though, not 50% (or am I thinking of Canada?!).
