Where to next?... Australia?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Jobs galore in Australia but accomodation and everything else very expensive. A room in a share house is minimum $180 a week almost anywhere. Fruit pickers are finally getting a living wage, about $23.50.
The backpackers are returning here in the tropics in large numbers. They love the country so it can't be too bad.
There are so many jobs available in hospitality, transport, building and on farms.
And to the critic of a wage rise of 5%, if a business can't afford an extra dollar and hour for workers then they should get out of business.
Business always whinge about wage costs but never mention increases in costs of insurance and rents and other overheads. Inflation is rampant in Australia, the cost of food up 4% in the first quarter. A change of government is likely this weekend which may lead to some better policies for working people. Far too many living in cars and garages.

Now that's a contradictory statement! You can expect more people living in their cars :?
It's the old carrot & the donkey scenario, entice them with more money rather than affordability.
The RBA raised interest rates for the sole purpose of slowing expenditure & inflation.
Inflation + Interest rates + 5.1 Wage increase = Higher unemployment!
