  1. Tourism is an important industry in New Zealand, directly contributing NZ$7.3 billion (or 3.7%) of the country's GDP in 2013, as well as directly supporting 110,800 full-time equivalent jobs (nearly 6% of New Zealand's workforce). A further 5% of GDP (or NZ$9.8 billion) is indirectly contributed through the flow-on effects of tourism. International tourist spending accounted for 16% of New Zealand's export earnings (nearly NZ$10 billion). International and domestic tourism contributes, in total, NZ$24 billion to New Zealand's economy every year.[2] Currently the Prime Minister John Key also serves as Minister of Tourism.[3] Secret maybe but more its efficiency and networks created for popularity of banking. And thriving biotech industry, watch making. Guess you could say a brain driven industry, compare to its neighbours Switzerland to France? similar to Singapore to Malaysia, New Zealand to Australia. Using services other than resources.
  2. Before that it was the bloody kiwis Taking all their jobs Shagging all their sheep And making the wifes bake pavlovas
  3. The world sees it as "hard working immigrants recovered Australia, and made it what it is today" The problem for Australia is the world has moved on And at the helm of SS Australia are the cabin boys

    Help!

    My reading of it was: Her: Working Holiday Visa Her boyfriend: looks like on her parents 457
  5. I came in at $64 million at $1000 linear metre, so your a better option
  6. assume the confusion on 3 years, is its being used to exclude students going on to a masters after completing bachelors? Your answers are best sourced from relevant faculty.
  7. Forgot to add your 40km consideration maybe a lot more. The connection to fibre is not just where your property reaches the highway where fibre goes past. You need to go back to a connection point which may well be the nearest city or major town.
  8. The rate will differ between urban and rural, rural being cheaper. Most Telco will not be interested at 300 so it would need to be capital investment on your part. Remember its not just the cost of digging and laying the pipe, there is ongoing maintenance, scenarios of tenants of the land it crosses digging through with a back hoe in later years. Switches? Have a chat to some of the network guys in Australia
  9. Just have a great time Stacey, there is a lot to see and people to meet. Lets see some more pics of places and people
  10. No ISIS is the new hair gel favored by Trump to give that "all fired up" look It takes a lot of effort to border the "cat did a dump" look
  11. Would clean it yourself and stick it out with the bond argument. The key is its a full clean which includes wiping skirt boards and inside/outside windows Its not rocket science but just takes time - we had a difficult landlord but spent the right amount of time and got 100% of our bond back. Although it was Victoria I would expect the same issue for the landlord in Qld. That is they cant re rent until the issue is cleared, so its just in much there interest to come to a fair agreement. We just stuck to our guns about fair wear and tear.
  12. chalk and cheese black and white greed and stupidly. Would you expect individuals to take 25% of their income regardless of rebate allowances?
  13. Avoidance being different to tax evasion, the bigger you get the more tax becomes a concern
  14. Australia Post will be rolling out its innovative new delivery model in 2020 OK its the Pony Express except they are using old nags But the cost of feed will be cheaper than petrol
  15. We were offered a $million grant for innovation but meant keeping IP in Australia We turned it down and people ask why? Corporate tax rate 30% versus 13% or 17% or 15%

    Bored

    LOL Fresh must mean something different to my understanding of produce too When you can smell the fish area before you see it something is wrong I enjoy where ever I live, but hoping to find North America (closer to home 7 hours) a bit more stimulating
  17. Which state you are going will have had different outcomes for parents Our experience was within Victoria and involved public and private (one catholic one independent). Problem with both is you either pay by mortgage or rent to be in the right post code, or you pay direct school fees. Either way each school and pupil is different and trust your gut feeling. We received a diagnosis while in Australia (very long and drawn out process, which we ended up going private) The school she was in flatly said they could not cope a month before the summer holidays (prep year starting in Feb) Points we found: Get the right team around you and this includes both the school (needs principal to be a champion) and outside professionals. There is so much work that has to be done in the home at times its like why are we paying all this money and still doing 30 hours a week ourselves - but that's important place for reinforcement Look into future years at the school to see if it remains the right school - it may not be or it might be evolving ie new principal starts with early years with intent on middle and higher school later. There is light at the end of the tunnel - daughter is now top 1% of highly academic school and looking like achieving dux and from social aspect her year turned up for her recent party. Not all professionals are going to be right. We went through 3 before we got our star. We did not find associating with parents of similar kids helpful, some might, we didn't. Its not a disease its a gift, its learning how to get the best out of it that's difficult - anyone tried flying a helicopter for the first time? While singing opera Movie theatres can be accommodating to lowering volume but you need to ask Why supermarket shop when you can have home delivery (don't put your self in the difficult positions to start with)
  18. Sophisticated not tarty Lets not be too hasty on fake boobs, just not emphasis on hanging them out.
  19. www.seek.com.au All countries have "own experience" as priority check list. It has merit for some technical aspects but not as this level of transactional and communication. Just be prepared to take what ever to get that first week of local experience. This might be your first step. We developed our own bespoke ERP/MRP in house system but others we reviewed would not assist your partner. The main one I think she is likely to come across are Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, all the others will not necessarily get you the job unless you have in depth experience with them. My advice would be to focus on the skill set across all i.e. the bookkeeping. All systems are user friendly. Reciprocal what is the rate for a good EA in Canada? Specifically Toronto as I will be needing one shortly as I move to North America shortly.
  20. London experience, exposure to Europe is far more valuable than Sydney / Pacific Unless of course your career involves making surf boards To be blunt you have to think am I going to learn more, be exposed to more, make me ready for the next level (not just a job increase on the pay scale but level i.e. from Senior Manager to General Manager or General Manager to C Level.
  21. A twin sister you say..... :laugh: Have a safe journey back, with new year best wishes
  22. And most of where banana's are grown for some strange reason?
  23. Yes agree with the home environment and this extends to all schools good and bad. Its better to back up the teachers hard work with reinforcement at home. Even within a bad school or a posh private school you can run the risk of a bad teacher Our experiences: Public - teacher very lazy and gave the kids sweets to keep them under control Private - unfortunate teacher sickness in another class disrupted their learning over 2 terms
