Australia better ?
Funny, looking at a new immigrant to convictland posts one would believe that Aus is the land of milk and honey.
This tells a rather different story does it not

Of course housing is cheaper in central Aus, but one can forget about having a shower.
Crime in Aus, good god, how strange.

Re: Australia better ?
I have only been on the Australian Expat website once and found it to be sad, a lot of posting appeared unhappy. But this may have just been what was around when I looked. My brother moved to Oz in 1978 and won't even leave the country for a holiday he loves it so much.
Each to their own. I don't like the place. Have visited 3 times and wouldn't have gone the 2nd and 3rd if Bob didn't live their.

Just like how some folk feel about NZ, Oz is a great place to visit, but to live full time? Long term give me the All Blacks any day. Differents folks, different strokes?

Both have their good and bad points. But money wise Oz is way better. Lived in both NZ and Tassie. There are so many Kiwis moving to Oz. Some Kiwi friends told me they know loads of thier friends are moving too. They are all fed up of NZ. Right from the horses mouth so to speak. I gues what works for your own personal benifits will dictate how you feel whats best. But for me Oz was better.

Kiwi natives are a lot friendlier than Aussies. Even in Oz, I found the friendly people were the Kiwis who emigrated there. Kiwis prefer the English to the Aussies as well.
That having been said I do prfer Oz as a country, NZ is too quiet. But it's all subjective, each to their own.
Despite Blair/Brown's best effort to ruin the UK (like Helen Clark in NZ) I still prefer blighty overall.

The short answer is "no" but I'll be back later to give my reasons. Can't be bothered at the mo.

Re: Australia better ?
I don't know if it's better overall or if one can ever actually make such a judgement. It's certainly better in some aspects and somewhere I plan to live one day, but more than being 'better' or 'worse', it's different. I like new experiences
