Just a couple of things about Tasmania. I arrived here with my OH and a 16 year son last year. We bought a business and employ Australians . I have used an agency for staff and have found them to be very good. There are not that many agencies really.Our son has got an apprenticeship which was sorted with the help of TACC this was only by them helping as unfortunately new migrants employess do not get the incentives from the goverment for the employer as they would get by employing Australians. But it did not matter that he was a Pom to them. It didnt it matter that I and my other half are Poms. I dosent matter that you are a Pom it matters what type of person you are and whether you want to fit in. Sure they knock us about the cricket but then I didnt like cricket in the UK so anything that is said to me on that subject is wasted. All we want to do and be is Australian work hard and get a better life which we have. And if you are prepared to do that you will be accepted. I will always be British because that is where I was born I can't help that but I can help what I am going to be in the future. Tasmanian(Australian) first . British 2nd. Tasmania is very small and it seems everyone knows everyone else very much like the Town I was born in and lived in until we moved here. The locals are friendly they will do what they can to help and anyway most of them have got relations in UK !
