Brisbane 457 or Adelaide STNI?
 
Any opinions?
I am a nurse hubby is a prototype sheetmetal worker by trade, currently working as a quality auditor. We have a daughter (14) and are looking to be in Oz in Sept. I don't mind where we go hubby wants to go for job prospects....thing is we could go to Adelaide on STNI (PR) but havent got enough points to do PR for Brisbane so would have to go 457 temp any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Of course in 2 years you can go to brissy, With the other one you can't be certain of anything and you'll have to be re-aplying for visas.

other thing on the 457 which has implications with children is that you have to pay for their education!!!

Guess it depends on your situation and where you want to be, but my understanding is PR is the one to go for.
