Why give a family with no equity money, lower waged job who say they cannot afford to live or buy a house in this country why give them the second most expensive place in Australia to look around and show them what they cant afford.

At first I thought the families actually chose where they went but according to the presenter she said to them "you dont know where we have picked for you or where you are going " then when she said Perth I actually found myself shouting at the TV "well how they going to afford that then"

Not very realistic me thinks.

Exactly our thoughts!!! Doesnt make sense does it. They should not be looking at that area when they havent got any money to go out with and need a 100% mortgage. Mad!!! J and j

Hope it all works out for you monkeypeaches at least you made that decision yourself probably with a lot of research

The family on the show didn't choose Perth it was picked for them. The programme makers did not put much thought into that then. :confused:

Oh my good God, is any one else watching this morning's? I've not seen it for a few days as I've been working (:confused: ?!) but this morning's is really annoying me. The woman's brother died, and she is going on and on about it in floods of tears - poor woman - but is there any need at all to include it in a prog about moving to Australia?!

(On the plus side, they did insert a teeny section about how to prepare for renting once you arrive)

just to let you know I did not go on about my brother as this is the way it has been "edited" they wanted to get across the fact that you could be loosing someone at which point you may decide to stay, all I wanted to get across to anyone in my situation was you cant change what is going to happen you have to do what is right for you. You obviously have not been in my situation!
