Some thoughts on life in oz and
Economy wise, oz needs more people and investments, at least this is how I see it, opening new inner region in oz is
Generally, majority locals are nice and well mannered but of course there are also not so nice pple, not many!
Recently, saw on tv about sham contractors ( https://www.9now.com.au/a-current-affair/2018/clip-cjofhhbhb002f0hr5gw1xdmws ) and this is what I have to say, I feel that in order to encourage more startups which in turn create more jobs, this will be the way it is especially small biz.
By enforcing better welfare for workers, meaning higher costs for businesses. I’d rather be a worker and not a boss. Of course, from a worker point of view, this will be good for them. The reason why many foreigners want to come to oz is that they know money can be made easily, she’s family oriented and education is traditional in a good way. It’s good to keep it this way. I think encouraging inflow of quality migrants will be good for oz. mining boom is over, your dairy products and other natural produce are next in line, in demand. Good welfare for people in oz means new venue of getting funds. Looking at the yield on interest for the past ten years doesn’t look good. Opening your country to more people and foreign investments, in a way to sustain your exchange rate. Adding on, melbourne is a good place for recuperation, clear blue sky, chill winter and less stressful. I remember a conversation with a local, he thinks that others thought the locals are not so bright, it’s not, the locals are less aggressive and competitive, easy going. not so sure about Sydney, I always imagine life in the financial centre of oz is more hectic and comparable to life in s’pore. One thing notable about oz is the customer service at government agencies, always most helpful.
Life in s’pore is very hectic, not much welfare in working life. People are engineered to strive from young, no free medical. Taxes are low but there are other hidden costs, private life insurance, expensive commute in the form of private family vehicle and expensive housing, rising costs of daily necessities cos we are dependent on import. Even taking public transport like the mrt is a setback for the working day, not the many breakdowns but the standing journey in a too packed train. People behavioral traits are more complex, interpersonal can be challenging, adding on to stressful life in an already stressful city.
All in all summary: I only spent three years in melbourne, my observation may not be factual enough. There is no perfect place, it takes time to cultivate the sparing a thought for one another in a racially and culturally diversified country. Lowering expectations in a job or your bosses may help in getting the locals to find and stay on to a job.
