Tall poppy officials and what industry is next?

Home sellers?
House builders?
The banks?
Medical (and the implications for the ill?) think insurance companies, medical providers?
Utilities?


See a high income industry and tax it - forced income equalisation will stunt growth. Ah well await the incoming govt:p

Does any else find it ironic that a thread on whingers and whiners seems to be full of them.

Sorry, I actually didn't mean that the way you have taken it, and I can see how you could have misinterpreted what I said.

I did not mean to imply that anyone who loved the UK would love Australia.

My point was that whingers and moaners about the UK, who then move to Australia, are likely to be whingers and moaners about Australia, whereas people who were not whingers and moaners in the UK are not likely to be whingers and moaners here.

In other words, the whinging and moaning comes from within, not from external influences.

Life is very peachy at the mo.Thanks for asking.
Aus is a pleasant memory to me but I just couldn't suffer your kind of delusional ,stranded migrant types or too many Aussies.
I felt lost and my lifestyle suffered too much.
