Thread: Reasons to move to Tasmania or NZ

    Reasons to move to Tasmania or NZ

    They get more public holidays!
    Reading my diary listing today I was surprised at how many more holidays they have in Tassie and NZ compared with other states and territories (yes, I know NZ isn't a state, but you know what I mean).

    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.

    A lot of Tasmanians have even more time off than that.

    The unemployment rate is fairly high.

    Similar in NZ: New Zealand Unemployment Rate

    But if you have to be unemployed, they're both beautiful places to have spare time in....

    Tasmania is a great place to live and is not to bad with 92% employment rate and only 8% unemployed.
    Is the glass half full or half empty? You have to be optimistic and see the opportunities in a positive way
    The family quality of life here is excellent and parents do not have to be over 2 hours a day seating in the car just to go to come back from work.

    That's almost a good enough reason to go to Wellington.

    Almost......

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