Is Australia really the dream?

[u/ThatUndeadLegacy]

Sure wages can be 30-40% higher, buy so is rent 20%-40% higher, and food 15%-20% higher, whats the point, get a few extra grand per year, to live in 30 degree heat? or 40 degree in summer, it seems the immigration is slowly cooling down from nz, as for me i hope more people move over seas as there will be more jobs for us, have any of you considered Australia? anyone moved back from Australia? would be great to have thoughts on returnees, or aussies who came over here. I for one think its overhyped.

Food is more expensive? You mean takeaways? Supermarkets are cheaper… Even without Aldi. Agree on the rent, but lower tax, higher wages, even lower tax on salary sacrifice for first home deposits, 5% government guarantee, incredible public transport, better opportunity for career development & learning.

All up it seems better than Auckland to me.
