Young Balinese Man wanting to expand his Horizons

Markit

Brilliant advice!

harryopal wrote As a matter of interest I googled "au employment Sydney Hilton Hotel" and there were 38 positions indicated. If you just google Hilton the website does not have a link for employment. If your friend has good English he might make a phone call to the Human Resources Manager at the Hilton and if he were lucky he might get some good insights into how he best go about this quest. Be wary of the many websites offering employment in Aus. Perhaps some may be legitimate but many are just looking for ways to pull money. (If daunted by the cost of an international call he might buy some credit with Skype and then the call would be charged as a local call in Australia. CAUTION: Just buy credit. Do not sign up for Skype membership as they automatically bill each month and devilishly tricky to cancel.) It has previously been complicated obtaining visas for Australia but the new Labor government is genuinely committed to making working visas more readily available so a much more favourable climate that may benefit your friend.

Australia is about 80 percent the size of the United States and only 30 percent of Australia is habitable. The cities where most people want to live are full to overflowing.

Reckon $2.30 a litre is going to be normal soon and as we all tend to use our cars a lot it will cause some pain. Not to mention the rising interest rates. Typical RBA , late to the party and way too much too quick... Cheers Grumpy Ken

If the RBA had been early to the party, and started increasing interest rates a year ago, and was at the same position now, you'd have been worse off. The fuel excise is one way of rasing money by the government. If it doesn't come from fuel excise, it has to be raised another way. One way or another, we're no better, or worse, off. The government/tax office always wins, and we always lose.

Being English by birth my "totally illiterate comments" are at least coached in the best King's English as opposed to your nasal, stuttering attempt at same. Good Day Old Chum.

Here's an idea: take a lump, say about the size of Denmark, and say to all the migrants of the world that want to come live there you'll build them shacks to live in and supply them with water. Bet you'll have half of west Africa there by tomorrow. All of the middle east (Syria/Iran/Yemen/etc) by the day after. And all the woke idiots of the world telling you have inhumane it all is. Throw in a couple of doctors and teachers and you have full employment and the wokes STFU.

I guess that's what Australia is trying to avoid.

Well, that's what it was used for at the start if I remember my history lessons ? A bit like Cayenne for France.

But why? It's the most God-awful land on the planet EXCEPT for the places I listed. AND they'd probably not have their own government trying to kill them too. Win-win. Hell, bet they'd eat all them toads/camels/rabbits and dingoes you lot always complain about.

Markit wrote I need your sage advice and perhaps a bit of "hands on" too for a good Balinese person. I have a very good friend here (Managing Director of a local resort hotel with large western restaurant in Candi Dasa) whose 22 year old son will be coming back from a year work/study in Miami Florida working for a big hotel there. He will be back in November and then completing his F/B Tourism Bachelor's Degree on December 3rd. He then would like to come work/study in Australia in F/B with emphasis on wine/bar/barista (he'd also like to earn some good dosh too, natch) Need info on best places and visa availability too please. What do you suggest?

A Balinese acquaintance from the place I stay in Ubud is currently working in Australia, along with what sounds like a large number of young Balinese. He said it took a 'long time' to get a visa, but he's now in Sydney, working in a restaurant. It's a one year working visa, non renewable, and from what he says, a 'lot of friends' are doing the same thing, so there must be quite a demand.

Nevertheless I struggle to understand why Oz (pop 25 million), a country the size of the United States (pop. 300million), acts like access to the country should be treated as if it was already full to overflowing. I wouldn't go there if you paid me. I get a news feed from the Mars Rover - small dust buster rolling around taking pictures - and I have a mate doing a circle of Oz now on day 42. I mix the pictures up all the time.
