Kiwisaver contributions (assuming 4% level) will put the percentage-of-gross-wage result pretty much equal with Australia, mind you. (If their tax levels are still the same as in 2005, anyway - I can't remember if Rudd said anything about tax rates when he was elected.)
I'm not sure exactly what goes into the total "labour cost" figure, but I think the percentage taken up there will still be a bit less than Australia; just not by much. |

It's that kind of shit that you would never get back home that makes Australia a better place to live. I honestly don't care if I'm paying 2% more in tax, because here I actually see where my money goes. In NZ I see my money goes into .. the Maori Channel?

On the other hand, beer is about twice as expensive in Australia. And you can't buy it in supermarkets.

I read that article this morning and thought "Gee, I wonder how long it will be before Ab makes a post on NZG quoting this article".
For someone who states that you are awfully proud of where you came from, you sure do rub the whole mass emmigration thing in a lot. |

How is it housing prices are going up, when so many people must be leaving houses empty?

Got a mate who worked as a geologist in Aus for 6 months last year. Made about $300 a day and made enough money to fund his whole postgrad study & living costs for this year.
He worked with a driller who was on $1k a day (who got taxed 50%! :O). Big money in mining. I love NZ, but want to spread my wings a bit and see what the rest of the world is like. |

In other words - it's a good enough comparison to show that NZ is less taxed than most other OECD countries. |

doesnt changed the fact that you get paid less as well though.

You can't buy beer on sundays i think. So you gotta do the small supply in the closet next to the front door thing. Its hot. Insects are bigger/more deadly, water tastes like crap (if there is enough to go round) In NSW they have the worst cars. Crimes worse too. They are racist mo-fos too. |

$9 for a 6-pack! That shit costs $18 in Aussie - and they had to import it to get it in NZ as well! Beer in Australia is a rip.

i considered moving to australia years ago because i thought the grass was greener there...
so went for a holiday to have a look.... but the grass was brown and there were watering restrictions. anyway, NZ is not as consumed by consumerism as most other places, and hippies like it here. living here is awesome.

What is Melbourne like? I like big cities that have nice architecture/european influence (and girls). Can anyone give me a rundown on why I shouldn't go there to live?
P.S. I'm in A(f)uckland right now... |
