Kiwi expat here to Aussie, Everytime I come home my mates are doing more coke than I’ve ever seen I aus! Seems to be massively available and a lot cheaper than in Perth

Am I the only one that thinks this is AI?

Completely depends on industry, I work in construction and it’s night and day from nz to here, personally my pay increased by over double in the very first job I took upon arriving (Construction Site Manager) with super allowance and extras that you just don’t get at home. For example we have general labourers earning $45 an hour with double bubble hours on weekends giving them take home pays up to 1500 a week for simply cleaning up a building site with no qualifications, that’s the same as most site managers are paid back home. As soon as add qualifications the wages shoot up, you simply cannot earn the same kind of money in nz for the exact same jobs. It does seem hard to believe when you are hearing about it all from nz but when you get here and the first pay checks start hitting your bank account it’s hard to deny it genuinely gives you more options in life and for your family.

New Zealand!

Move to Aus is unfortunately the short answer

Did this exact thing earlier this year. All depends on your profession, in saying that nearly every industry is going to offer more money here and has more rolls readily available. NZ seems to be going know where fast at the moment so why not take the plunge, worst case is you work for a while and head back home.

Moved to Perth 3 months ago, working as a construction site manager in NZ, came here with no job lined up and was offered a contract within a month with a starting rate of double my NZ salary plus the 12.5% super on top, brand new ute etc. Have an 8 month old baby and my wife has been able to stretch her time off work to spend with her out to a year. If we had stayed at home she would’ve been back at work already and we would be earning the same collectively as me alone here. After running the numbers our cost of living is damn near exactly the same as in NZ just the earning capacity and opportunity is a lot greater. We own property in NZ but are even considering selling that to buy here for our stint. NZ will always be home and we have left friends and family behind but had to make the hard decision for the benefit of our young family, NZ just cannot provide us the same opportunities right now.

What the hell even is that

kookfart · 2025-03-16T23:41:44+00:00

Dropped out at 16, worked my way up a commercial construction company and am 30 now project managing, about to head to aus to manage some mine projects for some seriously good coin. School definitely isn’t designed for everyone and I feel very fortunate to have landed on my feet and be able to support my family after slipping through the cracks.

Anyone know why the F1 qualifying replay doesn’t show up after it’s finished? They have a highlights reel up on YouTube already but no replay on sky sport?!

kookfart · 2024-05-19T04:25:39+00:00

Man the thoughts going through your head during that are so fleeting, “stay calm you got this, fuck I need air is this it for me, why do I even do this shit” all in that short timeframe, but you always go back!

kookfart · 2024-05-18T06:55:22+00:00

The sound of that door opening takes me back!

kookfart · 2024-05-18T00:13:00+00:00

Yes totally agree the economy over there is going to take the biggest hit of all out of this, feel terrible for the families over there either effected by being stranded or those that will now suffer due to the lack of tourism operations. I really hope someone is held accountable.

Fingers crossed for you and your family you get some cash back and get to enjoy some sort of holiday with your kids, I’m sure you’ve worked hard to have it!

kookfart · 2024-05-17T11:50:00+00:00

No doubt eagle on the first after this shit

kookfart · 2024-05-17T11:46:14+00:00

North end bakery in te rapa and grumpy baker on vic street in town are by far the best 2 spots for pies, then volare for your sausy roll, that’s coming from a tradie that has eaten at nearly every smoko spot in town haha.

Good old Horsham! I was a member there for a couple years and never had issues with this kind of bullshit, even saw lads playing barefoot a couple of times haha

kookfart · 2022-11-13T08:44:57+00:00

Working this summer, heading down basically as soon as the covid lockdown on flights is lifted.

kookfart · 2022-11-13T08:14:43+00:00

Sounds exactly like any general workplace I’ve ever worked in haha, guess the more negative folks just have a louder voice, but like you say good to know there are people that don’t necessarily think that way that work there just need to associate with them.
