Thread: Reasons to move to Tasmania or NZ

Wages here are rubbish and unemployment is growing...if you have a decent job life is great, if you are unemployed it's better here than up there...but a very big portion of our job market is low paid often casual work and then life isn't so good....and with it shifting ever more that way that is why so many are leaving.

And as for beer.......there are quite a few bottle shops that stock Coopers so I'm ok there!

Australia has nine national holidays and NZ has 7. To them have to be added the local holidays for each state, territory or NZ. According to my diary the totals are:

NZ 7 + 14 =21
Tasmania 9 + 8 = 17
ACT and SA 9 + 4 = 13
WA 9 + 3 = 12
NSW, Victoria, NT and Queensland 9 +2 = 11

So, it's obvious - if you want time off, move to NZ or Tasmania.

I think you might be adding all the NZ regional holidays together. But you only get one a year for the region you live in.

The NZ'er's moving to Queensland are the ones we don't want.

Well , I believe the drought in NZ would harden up the Kiwis coming here, at least, Bob

Almost......

Really gorgeous, open minded , rich, and looking for a male benefactor would tip the scales though.

How about gorgeous, whip smart, financially independent, adventurous, fun, cute English accent and likes Defenders ?

A very good question.
Why, indeed?

You'll get sick of Wellington pretty quick though. Really windy and sea on three sides.
Did I mention the bureaucrats? That city is full of public servants.
