Well Nzer,
can you explain why you bought the other half of AN if this was the case?
As mentioned elsewhere,it is not prudent to compare the wages of a developing nation ,such as yours,to those of Australia.Admittedly some jobs will move offshore to NZ,just as they did in the sixties to developing nations such as the Phillipines etc.
Coup de grace getting TJ back,thanks.Refer the other thread "why do airlines take cadets at all".
