We are in the process of migrating next year, can you please advise why you feel there is no opportunity as thats is the reason we were going to Oz, we felt it was still a country that had room for growth and opportunities! Why do you think the Australians are racist? Did you visit Australia before you choose to live there not that the question maybe relevant but just interested to know.
Any insight you can give us would be a great help
Thank you and regards

There is plenty of opportunity in Australia. Depends where you live as to how much. If you live in a small country town of course there is less opportunity than say Sydney or Melbourne. It is a country full of opportunity and if it hasn't worked out for some than it that the fault of the country or just an excuse???
Racist - yes there are racist people like anywhere else in the world but are Australians more racist than people in the U.K. I would say definately not. I can't imagine any of the parents from my kids school for example making a racist comment and I have never heard one. In fact the only racist comments I have heard recently have been from Brits complaining that England is being taken over my immigrants. I do think though that racism is more prevalant in some parts of AUstralia such as Queensland and country areas. Melbourne is a truly multicultural city as is Sydney and by and large people get along harmoniously. Of course there are the occassional issues but racism is frowned upon by the majority of people in my experience living in Melbourne.
