(Annex to tinpis' comment)
That's right Tinpis... and the media is SO surprised at that?
Australia:
-5 tax cuts in 5 years has meant that someone on $40-large in Oz is paying HALF THE TAX on their earnings of someone in NZ!!!
-GST has been concrete at 10% for years, as opposed to 12.5% in NZ (If Labour gets in this weekend there's NOTHING stopping them raising GST!)
-Less Local Councils and rates in Oz, PLUS Councils not in businesses they shouldn't be in, like in NZ.
-Way better Terms and Conditions in Oz.
-ACCC in Oz to monitor corruption/collusion (on petrol $ !) and unfair trading, NZ...?
It's no surprise evertone wants to move there given the stability and growth of the last 10 years ...it's just us pilots that need to band together to better our lot.
