I've got a good friend who lived there who worked in aerospace. His Mrs lasted 3 years before coming back to the West.Ever look at Saudi Arabia?
Might be a plum job to the rich there.
As funny as it sounds, that may be what does happen, because the way things are going, Australia seems to be on a slippery slope.Interesting, in light of this discussion... Boomers encouraged to **** off:
Well spotted wayne.Interesting, in light of this discussion... Boomers encouraged to **** off:
The article suggests South East Asia.... and I agree with your point on that score.Well spotted wayne.
Given the "life is cheap" situation in a lot of Asian countries I don't think many pampered boomers will be willing to give up their hard earned benefits for an "alien" lifestyle.
They've actually relaxed a lot of their laws against Western culture in the last few years, but they're known to harbour tons of criminals fleeing govt prosecution from other countries.I've got a good friend who lived there who worked in aerospace.

Not so sure my Mrs would tolerate being there either.
"Aussies over 67 are being urged to rent out their homes and retire overseas in a radical housing proposition floated by property sector market researchers."Interesting, in light of this discussion... Boomers encouraged to **** off:
its not the most say female friendly of places. when you see males openly belting their wife in public and its the normal as its accepted in the culture its rather difficult to takeI've got a good friend who lived there who worked in aerospace. His Mrs lasted 3 years before coming back to the West.

Is vaccination policy the only thing that concerns you?If anything the last 5 years has shown us anything is that things can change very quickly in any country, including in our Western countries. Who would have predicted the absolute totalitarianism over what was ostensibly a cold?
Here we are with the establishment softening us up over another lockdown over bird flu, and what looks like the beginning of World war 3.
What nobody should want, and particularly in the vulnerable golden years is to be in an out group in a foreign country, with vastly different social and political values and perhaps a building animosity.
No siree, not this little black duck. Include me out!
LOL.Is vaccination policy the only thing that concerns you?
Many years ago I worked a couple who were employed by the Saudi Royal Family (of whom there are a country's worth) to grow wheat on the desert sands there.Ever look at Saudi Arabia?

making a 90 yr old just pack up isnt as easy as a 21 yr old living at home, pack and leave for an adventure adventure overseas.Interesting, in light of this discussion... Boomers encouraged to **** off:
It also shows the abandonment of TAFE and the degradation of universities by all governments.making a 90 yr old just pack up isnt as easy as a 21 yr old living at home, pack and leave for an adventure adventure overseas.
how about we stop reckless migragion and end air bnb.
how do we still have a skills shortage when they have been claiming this as an excuse for large migation for the past 20 years and still we have some large shortage. this only goes to show the incompetence of the hacks at the immigration department
that also, but a lot has to do with large companies and the Fairwork act that Gillard wrote back in the Rudd daysIt also shows the abandonment of TAFE and the degradation of universities by all governments.
I'd include nepotism to that list, about 5 people out of about 40 pull their own weight and the weight of others.that also, but a lot has to do with large companies and the Fairwork act that Gillard wrote back in the Rudd days
i work in Mining Mairtaence amd have done for nearly 20 years. at the end of the so called mining boom 2014/15, the fairwork act kicked in and allowd companies to use casual labor hire companies to screw wages down & go away from the traditional enterprise agreements that required the mines to put on x number apprentices a year. for the past decade mining companies have put on little to no apprentices and the ones they have were only to tick boxes based on gender or colour instead of best candidate. most apprentices that were put on rarly finish nowdays.
*the indigenous ones i agree with as its a total different issue
Having seen both sides of the public service / private sector divide, my observation is it's not the run of the mill public servants that are the problem indeed there are some genuinely proficient, knowledgeable people among them.They screwed them over with multiple layers of public servants leeching off the industry.
Absolutely correct.Having seen both sides of the public service / private sector divide, my observation is it's not the run of the mill public servants that are the problem indeed there are some genuinely proficient, knowledgeable people among them.
The actual problem is sycophantic management going along with political nonsense rather than having the guts to manage upwards.
It's the politicians who spew nonsense - some of them are way out of their depth on even the simplest matters. It's the equivalent of someone who couldn't identify a wall from a roof being put in charge of building houses, it's guaranteed to miserably fail unless someone below stands firm on what needs to be done.
Just my first hand observation.
