Its bit of a shock to move from NSW to QLD, the wages are absolute crap up here. Its not cheaper to live in QLD its about the same as Sydney. The only thing cheaper is Houses, petrol and insurance, otherwise everything else is dearer which is quite a shock.<br />One thing I have noticed is unions don't exist up here and if they do they have no clout, but I was explained that the only unions with clout in QLD are the Police union and the teachers union. They go on strike and get what they want but for others working in the unskilled arena with no unions are paid shit like $410 gross a week. Its hard to live on that and in Sydney doing an unskilled job I was earning exactly $782 gross per week unpacking <br />boxes. Whats wrong up here?.<br />As for the school fees, go jump, I'm not paying anything. The greedy teachers got a pay rise not long ago as I have been told, that money has to come from somewhere and that somewhere is taken out of the budget from the school.<br />And they want me to pay. Go to hell the lot of you .<br />I am very disappointed since I've moved up here.<br />Phillip
