Calling all New Zealanders! I'm Thinking of Heading East

Professor Graeme Hugo, an expert in labour migration at the University of Adelaide, said the trend was not yet captured in statistics but was "very likely''
He said New Zealanders were invaluable in the Australian workplace, with a lower unemployment rate than Australian-born workers, "because they participate more effectively in the workforce''.;):wasntme:

Trust a Kiwi to listen to someone from Adelaide :D:wasntme:

You could head further south as in Southland it is about the only region that is not feeling the crunch as bad as the rest of the country heaps of work still going on and people needed with trade backgrounds.

But it does get cold and wet during winter and sometimes during summer aswell.

I moved to oz 4 years ago and tripled my pay over night. Nice place to live but hard to survive. was speaking to a bloke in the pub the other day who worked for a trucking co over there drivers over there are on between $15-$20 NZ per hr flat doing 80hr weeks.

Its the Flat rate, loss of penal rates that stuffed things for NZ.

Now work is put off to the weekends or afterhours as not to inconvenience the core business. And why not costs the same.
Here I get the weekend off no one wants to pay 1 1\2 or double time

However, the cabbies and bus drivers told me it's a bloody cold place in winter. 'Tis nice but I suspect windy judging by all the windbreaks around there!

Sorry I missed you Ron, Airport security did get a shot of you though after you went through the "nothing to declare" line at the terminal.;)

I get time and a half after 40hrs and double time after 55hrs, It's not all flat rate over here, unless you work for Maccas.;)
