Two Tier Australia..!!!
If all Australia's new immigrants are skilled /proffesionals won't this create a sort of two tier system where all the middle class are foreigners. This must cause problems in the future...

Australia also lets in unskilled labour on a temporary basis to do the menial jobs that they can't fill with Aussies like mining.

Cant see it's much different from the UK, we are always "importing" skilled workers (nurses etc) from other countries....

I do see what you mean by the different classes in oz tho, and yes it will get worst unless money is ploughed into the oz education system to improve the prospect for the kids out there.

Sorry Worsel, but I was thinking the exact same thing as JTL.

I think over the last decade, wealth has created a whole new class system. For example, those that have made £££ or $$$ on the housing booms.
The amount of times I am having a good evening out then somebody starts this conversation of how much their house has increased in price in the last 3 seconds drive me nuts.
It is boring as hell and has become an national obsession in Oz/UK. I remember a time when talking about money was classed as tacky.
On that, I think this is certainly dividing countries with the have and have nots, this can only lead to problems in the future I imagine.
I am no expert, just observations.

Just to qualify that, discussing possible wages, or average increase in house values is ok. But if someone wants to tell me their house has gone up $50,000. Thats bad form. Are they hoping I'm going to tell them my financial situation?
General finance discussion is ok, but people blurting out how much they earn or how much money they have made is still tacky, at least to me .

You could always ask them to lend you a couple hundred bucks, seeing as they are so flush Or buy a bottle of champaigne, as they have had a windfall,
That would be a particualy Sarf london reaction I reckon
