fsking<br />Before I left Sydney I worked for Kilpatrick Green. I was on $44K a year no OT, up here in Brisbane working for the SAME company doing the same work (I refused to join them in Brisbane) your start wage is $28K a year to a max of $32K a year. Only companies under a Federal award pay the same as southern states.<br />Yes Houses are cheaper and so is Insurance but the rest when it comes to white goods is cheaper in Sydney mainly because they are shipped up from Sydney/Melbourne.<br />Hows this for an INSULT???<br />I bought a New 135 CM TV 4 years ago. I went around most of the shops around Nth Brisbane for the best CASH price for this one and only Model and in Brisbane could only get the Malaysian version. I wanted the same model but made in Japan. Better Quality control. <br />To rub salt into your wounds you pay more in Brisbane and get the crappy version.<br />I end up buying it at Cabramatta Hi Fi and shipped it up here and saved around $1000 and got the Model made in Japan that I wanted. Now that was 4 years ago.
