I wouldn't bother St GG. This is either a troll or a biggoted idiot.
Either way they need a 4 x 4 around the back of the head and since we're in virtual world - there's no fun

Re: Thinking of moving to Australia?
Oz and Uk both have skills shortages and one of the reasons is that both have a significant population that wants to spend its days on it backside. I lived on an estate where nearly all the population were claiming benefits. At the age of 38 i have just completed re training / education so as not to become one of them.
Unless you are a member of the indigenous population of Oz, then sorry to remind you, but you are the product of immigrants - you are only in Oz because a family member moved there.
As for housing prices its simple supply and demand, they go up and go down. When the credit crunch that is in the UK at the moment hits Oz - and it will, then prices will fall, just as they are here

Re: Thinking of moving to Australia?
Oh god bless mother England, we couldn't do it without you. Give me a break.
If its such a struggle to move here, why not stay home with your tea and cake?
A recent arrival AND a property investor? Don't get me started.
What queue are you referring to? If your "skilled" mates are here to fill the gap then why are they in a queue? To be frank most poms I've met in industry are all talk and no walk. We colonials obviously can't see you as the gems the immigration department thought you were. Maybe we're blinded by nepotism or maybe there's really no "skills shortage" after all. The truth is that high levels of immigration serves primarily to moderate wage growth via competition, temporarily supplant the need for serious investment in education and training or to increase levels of workforce participation (ie an increase in full-time employment), and create some short-term economic stimuli.
I'm not saying bring immigration to zero, but when the influx has been mach 3 for some years now, there is the question of how much is enough? An exception applies for health care workers, construction workers, tradies, miners
At the end of the day, my message is really to the potential boaties. I acknowledge its probably too late to send most of you back, after all, you're just here to help us "build the nation". ahem.

I am a soon to be immigrant, my mum being an original immigrant aussie who can trace her linage to some off the first ships that landed in aus. she migrated to england made a lot of money and is now in the process of bringing it back to Aus. I think you will find she is not alone. and if you take time to travel yourself overseas i think you will struggle to find a place on earth where you won't meet a fellow aussie.
My husband is in IT and there is shedloads of aussie it contractors in uk earning loads of english pounds so they can be cashed up housebuyers when they get back. like my fellow expatters have said do you have a problem with them as well. ergo should my mum not come back to aus because she is "cashed up".:curse:
well done it takes alot to get me fired up

Why of course they are. Even at the bequest of our very own labor government who's policies you are hoping will address all sort of shortages here, including work ones. The following releases to the media from the Immigration leader.

There seems to be an overt and systematic approach by the government to bring in exactly the type of people on here. Hmmmm damn those pesky politicians for ruining what was going to be a very ill informed, bigoted little rant you had going. Sucks when you have no intelligent support, but then you don't really need it to make judgments do you?
And no I am not English, American nor any form of migrant. Unless you go back many, many, many generations.

Re: Thinking of moving to Australia?
A bit OT, but are you claiming LAFHA on the grounds that your home is NZ or the UK? Just curious.....

=============================
As for Mr AngryAussie, I hope that you can calm down a bit and stop blaming Brits for everything that iis wrong with Australia - and maybe your rants would be better directed at DIAC and their policies which encourage us here in the first place?

Re: Thinking of moving to Australia?
Sounds rather like an attack on the British to me. What about the migrants from other nations? I assume you don't have a problem with them. Word your reply carefully though as BE has no space or time for racists.

Re: Thinking of moving to Australia?
I'd say Migration is an absolute must for creating demand for badly needed infrastructure in this country. Especially water supply. They had over 20 years to fix it in Victoria and did stuff all until now.
Where are you situated, theres not too many affluent English people moving in around me, in fact I've never seen one. That hasn't stopped the Median price in my area reaching plus 600,000.
