Do you really believe the standard of living in France is high.
This was true 40y ago but no way true anymore.
Only retirees are having it good
Unemployment above 9%, real jobs impossible to get
min wages at 11 euro per hour or 17 aud, in Australia it is $21...
And french minimal wage only applies to adult, full time employees etc etc
Moreover it is the actual income of from memory a third of workers
Crime and housing crisis for the last 30y
Compare that to Australia.
Even to a French, we are a nation of spoiled brats absolutely unaware of their luck, and that was a big worry for my son who is born and bred here, so we did intensive travel to put things in perspective.
Long gone is the time of the Aussie battler, ingenuity,free spirit and independence i so liked 3 decades ago when i came.
Look around you.. Victoria elections coming, etc
i do not expect much when sxxt will hit the fan.
