Re: How much for life we want in Brisbane

I agree house prices are overvalued all over the world, after all we've just been through a massive housing boom/bubble.

Re: Is the grass greener?

If Germany can afford to do that. Good for them, very commendable. With people being refused life saving cancer drugs on the NHS I'd say we are not quite there yet in this country.

Re: Is the grass greener?

It's interesting to see the OP being shouted down for stating immigration as a reason for leaving while considering becoming one herself.

Re: Wow had a shock!
