Re: Most Brits considering life down under
Not sure... the RBA quote 1.4% for Goods alone, and 2.9% for all groups.
but... as far as rents go...
Brisbane median rent for 3 bed house (based on about 3,400 new rents in March each year)
$370 March 2009
$380 March 2010
a 2.7% increase, a bit under the CPI rate.
http://www.rta.qld.gov.au/zone_files...brm_houses.htm
However, for those living in the premium areas, eg: Ascot/Hamilton it went from $460 to $550, or a 19.6% rise. They are the ones that hit the newspaper headlines
No mention of places like Lutwyche/Windsor/Wooloowin where it dropped from $450 to $430 for 3 bed townhouses.

Re: Most Brits considering life down under
ABS seems to report different for some reason. They look at the year December to December, so maybe there's been a big jump in wages since last December.

My quote was for full-time adults: ordinary time 5.6% rise in last 12 months.
If you look at the 6345.0 Labour Price Index, Australia
Hourly Rates of Pay Including Bonuses: Sector, Original (Financial Year Index Numbers for year ended June quarter) you see these indexes:
Financial Year Index ; Total hourly rates of pay including bonuses ; Australia ; Private and Public ; All industries ;
Jun-1999 69.4
Jun-2000 71.4 a 2.9% annual rise
Jun-2001 73.9 a 3.5% annual rise
Jun-2002 76.3 a 3.2% annual rise
Jun-2003 79.0 a 3.5% annual rise
Jun-2004 81.9 a 3.7% annual rise
Jun-2005 85.0 a 3.8% annual rise
Jun-2006 88.5 a 4.1% annual rise
Jun-2007 92.0 a 4.0% annual rise
Jun-2008 96.1 a 4.5% annual rise
Jun-2009 100.0 a 4.1% annual rise
The 3% figure appears to be the Quarterly Index ; Total hourly rates of pay excluding bonuses ; Australia ; Private and Public ; All industries ;

Is that per month? That sounds really cheap! Although if it's per week then it's ridiculously expensive! Where I live (Northants) you'd pay $708 per month for a 3 bed semi.
