Yes as you say they are seeing the same thing in Perth and Australia generally, more and more part time jobs and fewer and lower paid full time jobs. There are plenty of opportunities in the UK and Europe and I dont see any facts that point to Australia or indeed here being better or worse as far as future opportunities.

So why are you in a thread about the reasons people are moving back to the UK in the moving back to the UK section of the forum ?

The rising house prices are being pushed up by lots of positive economic news. Its not a good thing for those wanting to buy of course but when things improve house prices go up.

It was in fact one soldier in one isolated tragic incident. Armed Police wouldnt have stopped that any more than armed Police stop murders in Australia or the US. The post I quoted makes it seem like it is a war zone here.

This thread isnt about Australians

What does that mean ? The way things are these days ?

There seems to be a theme : boredom, isolation and expense.

You are not wrong Alicia, it is certainly worse that I have ever seen anywhere else. I dont mind steps being in place to protect people but it is just taken to an extreme and the red tape is staggering.
