It's a bit sad to read all these posts that make out going to NZ is a chore. There are plenty of guys and gals already here and overseas who would give anything to be permanently based in a good job in NZ till retirement. Why don't you leave those job to them and chase jobs where you all want to be ?
It wasn't that long ago that the D & G forums were clogged with scathing posts about how rubbish the NZ contracts were and anyone that flew for them were disowned scum.
Now days nearly every second or third voice on the RT has the twang but when recruitment starts picking up back home (and it will) most will be off in a heart beat and back on pprune about how **** the NZ contracts are.
The irony is staggering
I certainly don't mind our aussie cousins coming over to take the work if you actually want to be here, - hell I'll even personally welcome you with the ol nose bump
but if you want to come over for the quick use, abuse, cheers see ya later, leave it to someone else.
It's a bit like sneaking over to the office/company next door for a dump just because they have flasher toilets. A bit rude really...
