Okay to all you expats that have emmigrated to australia overall would you vote it thumbs up or down? Thought I would get a general idea to see the overall point of view. Why was it right or wrong whatever the case

You're not going to get a general idea. You're going to get responses from a very highly selective sample of expats.
  • Those who are on this forum.
  • Those who get around to reading your post.
  • Those who feel they want to make a response (usually because they love it or hate it - the indifferent probably don't care enough to respond).
Etc

Plus a thumbs up or down is hardly an "overall point of view". It's a pretty severe summary of a bunch of complex feelings and impressions into a simple Yes or No...

Maybe I've read this wrong and you're just trying to start a debate (though heaven knows that debate's running on many threads already!). I'm not putting you or your question down. I do hope, though, that you're not going to try and make your own decision based on the results.

Agreed. However, was the right decision for us. No idea what the future holds or even where it will be held for the rest of my life though.
