I think you're getting paid very well in OZ, congrats.
I'd love to get paid that in NZ. Don't think 4 Mil pax will support it for long
You want to believe their propaganda go for it. The only thing you getting paid stuff all (considering what you do for a living) is supporting is the the pocket of some manager whose hoodwinked you into accepting a substandard wage.
This has got to be the only job in Aus/NZ where wages have not only NOT kept up with inflation, but gone backwards 50% + in the last 10 years.
Amazing!
