Why do people emigrate to Australia?
Before the recent changes to the Industrial Relations Laws were in place I would have said the working conditions were a fairly good reason for emigrating to Australia. As a government worker I can utilise flex time, get 4 week annual leave, 18 days sick leave, 90 day long service leave after 10 years with an additional 9 day every year after the first 10 and the office closes down from Christmas Eve until the day after New Years day all on full pay. This gives us a certain amount of flexibility and freedom to enjoy life outside of work. Depending on where you live the weather can also be a factor as is our lifestyle. We tend to look more towards a good balance between work and home. The cost of living is also quite good and we have so many different nationalities and cultures here that people seem to settle in quite nicely.
