Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

Very Valid points Rooster, as il be on Temporary Residence Visa at first I arent sure if il be able to get LAFHA, but certainly worth asking - and also I know there are salary sacrifice schemes for purchasing a car.
In all honesty I cant see me turning it down providing the offer is right, il be earning a damn sight more than I do here and wont be getting flogged half as much as I do here.
The grass isnt always greener, but it certainly looks that way.

| RL is the Number 1 sport in NSW and Qld, but AFL rules the roost elsewhere.
Pros to moving out are lifestyle and the general strength of the economy, and Aussies are generally easy to get on with. If you have kids, then Australia is likely to be a much better bet for their future lives than the UK.
On the Con side, I read somewhere that a significant number of Brits who 'emigrate' to Oz end up returning to the UK. I'd put that down to it simply being a massive move, entailing genuine separation from friends and family in the UK. There's also a bit of a culture shock in terms of TV, news etc but you get over that. I certainly wouldn't underestimate the potwential homesickness. I've felt it a bit myself at times - if I didn't have kids there are probably a few times when I would have seriously considered moving back to England.
The other 'con' is that the cost of living here has gone up massively compared to the UK in the time I've been here - and that's including the fact that the Aussie dollar buys 50% more than it did compared to Sterling back then. House prices have gone up to ridiculous levels in most cities. Last year when I returned to the UkKfor a visit, I was really surprised at how relatively cheap things were - my memory is of being stunned at how cheap everything was in Oz when I arrived.
Bottom line is, make your own decision, and view it as a fantastic potential experience that will hopefully work out and become permanent.

| Being forced to vote or get a fine is just stupidity, although the politics in Australia is quite frankly hilarious, even worse than ours!
But that aside, we in this country have the right to choose to vote or not I would hate to be forced to by any government. It also doesn't automatically make people think about who they vote, quite a few of people I met just ticked one of the boxes without giving it any thought or spoiled the ballot paper just so they had actually 'voted' and didn't get fined.

| Don't go. The Chinese will invade within the next 10 years to get their hands on the minerals.
