    I think you are overdoing it already. If you referred to what you posted previously, you claim that I will be paying 30% tax, which is wrong by all accounts. You are misleading. That's all I'm trying to say. Whether I can survive in Australia or not, is my own problem.

    super is 9% from employer. I'm not sure what's the PAYG rate yet. I'll know on Monday or the latest at the end of next week with the first pay slip. I have an interview with a construction firm next week, that role would be something similar to what i did in Singapore. To be honest, I don't...

    I'm happy. This casual job means a lot to me. First, it brings back the bacon obviously. Second, it will help a lot in future job hunting for I realised you can be the Prime Minister of Singapore. If you have no Aussie experience or local referees, you'll out. Like you said, I'm considered...

    Thanks Neddy. I got myself a 16 year old car. It's old I know but that'll do now for me I guess. Job hunt has been terrible. In the end I couldn't find a job on my own merit.

    Hi neddy, We've got a medicare a/c already, fumbled through that but somehow we got it right. Holding a temporary card now. After that we visited a GP, who told us it is improbable that private will cover my wife now as she is already in 3rd trimester. But we could get it after she gives...
