Is Australia a ‘high taxing’ nation? What is the responsible answer?

$100K for a mining job? Is it hard to get a job as a miner? I think I want to go to Australia to work as a miner!

Mining boom is over.
Usually blue collar workers earn a lot more, some even work half a year and rest half a year.

What they are not telling is mining is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world

And of course the taxes/costs/regulations in Australia are extreme

Only idiots in Australia would consider them

In your case that US$100,000 dollars a year is not enough to live well

Maybe you should write to Rudd and tell him you cant tahan on A$200,000 a year as he said A$250,000 is not a lot of money anymore. (from budget speech 2008)

Soon you will need A$1 million a year to live there comfortably while your American counterparts are really idling doing nothing but enjoying life at your expense

:p

Don't forget the air-con is switch on, and the coffee maker is in the pantry next door.

Oh! the widow-maker is now a museum piece in Australia.

or... would you rather risk your life for 100k a year, or sell your ass and soul to SAF for less than the minimal wage of a REAL developed country?
