Yeah watched it. Was interesting!

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

Was interesting to find out that an inexperienced hairdresser with her painter and decorator husband could potentially afford (thanks The_Wookie) to live in a brand new four bed house near Perth... :)

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

They could 'potentially' afford to live in a house around 35km north of Perth.

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

ha ha , i loved it, she was an inexperienced hairdresser who was told to maybe get more experience and was waffling about her husband not being skilled enough!

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

I actually felt embarrased for her. It was blatantly obvious she wasn't skilled up enough.

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

yeah, in the shop and thats when i started asking myself how did they get their visas?

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

That's a very good point!!! I wish I was an inexperienced hairdresser now... :sneaky:

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

Did they have PR visas though? Most of the people on these shows are on tourist visas and haven't applied for the "real thing" yet. Oh - and we've found in the past that a lot of them are BE members.........

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

Did anyone else find it strange that they could be £2000 better off per MONTH? ! ! Not sure their figures were correct ?

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

really, i didnt know that, maybe they should say at the end when they decide its australia that they are going to try and get pr, instead of people assuming that its as easy as saying "yes we like it, i think we will move there", as we are all aware its not that easy.

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

homebird, i agree alot of things on the show didnt add up, i wish they could of been a bit more specific!
joint income of £28000 yet £2000 a month better off?????????????

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

I'm sure it said she got her visa through her hairdressing.

Re: Wanted Down Under - Series 6
 

Well the painter guy said he could earn around $70k pa, and her hairdressing was around $20-$25k I think?

Considering she isn't working in the UK, I'm guessing her added income makes a big difference.

The lady mentioned having 2 years to validate their PR visa... She was the main applicant.
