Australian government begging unemployed Irish to take up jobs in Australia

The Indians integrate. I wouldn't say how well though. Have you tried to call a customer service line in the last 10 years?

Let's face it, the Aussies still haven't completely shaken off the racist "White Australia" policy that they pursued until fairly recently. It will also be interesting to see what happens down the road if the same thing happens there as happened when the Celtic Tiger developed the mange and unemployment rather than labour shortages became the order of the day. Will we see a lot of unemployed Crocodile Dundee losers moaning about those foreigners taking their jobs?

Would you like some ketchup for that chip on your shoulder?

You seem to have some serious issues.

As a matter of fact, I have, and in the past two years. I had major problems with my wireless broadband (3) and a young man in Mumbai astonished me with his patience (I'd probably have told me to fcuk off and get a life, because I'm pretty hopeless in these things) , politeness and awesome expertise. He talked me through the whole thing, step-by-step, and got me sorted. The problem was mainly to do with the anti-virus software I was using. I was so thankful, that I asked him if I could treat him to a meal the next time I was in Mumbai. and he turned out be a multilingual person from Andhra Pradesh, with a good degree in IT engineering and all-round cultured and nice person. He took me on a tour of Mani Bhavan, Mahatma Gandhi's erstwhile home and now a museum.

I think you got your wires crossed. Shouldn't you be asking that of Overheal?

Well, boo-flamin'-hoo! I guess I'll have to do some self-improvement if I ever feel the need to impress an Aussie called "jumpy" - or see any point in it. ROFLMAO

Yes, it was a pleasant experience, and I've been helped greatly every time I've called the 3 helpline. Just wanted to give one positive example as a counterweight to all the negativity.

In another time and another place, I could tell you about my earlier experiences with rude, thick Irish bitches working for Eircom's customer service, and I suppose I wouldn't be the only one.

Oh, I see. One needs to have a high post count to be rational and intelligent. Boards.ie as a substitute for school. ROFL

However, I have to admit that I do not know what "scobe" means. Should I?

I wonder how you - presumably highly multilingual - would pronounce "saatana"? Of I you have any idea what it means/indicates. ROFLMFAO @ u.

I presume thats $850 net? Because I know traffic controllers earn $22 per hour which works out to about $850 a week gross. Since traffic controllers are the most unskilled unproductive people on a site then surely carpenters are getting a lot more than that.

beagle001 · 09-07-2011 04:35PM

I think a lot of people I know who actually go and live in Australia for more than a couple of years think less of the country as their initial excitement grows old.
I have to say Oz is not a patch on America,its a huge country with a whole lot of nothing in between.
Except for Melbourns,Sydney and Perth the country is not all that fantastic once you settle down there.
I spent 5 years in Oz and I don`t think I will go back,if your not in the main cities it is a very depressing state.
Granted there are opportunities and many things are better there than in Ireland but the Austraians as a whole are a bit boring and its too bloody far away.
Think before yee go folks,if its only for a couple of year I would say why not but to put down your routes there is another thing,better countries out in this big world by a long shot.

Most Irish that go out there prefere to hang out in the Cities, Bondi Kings X etc. They are not willing to travel to the arsehole of nowhere, ie MT Newman, Calgoorie etc where the jobs are and nothing happens.

I've been in calgoorlie and plenty happens on the weekend....they drink the place dry. They mine for gold out there and they get paid very good money

They can't get enough of Irish doctors, nurses and other medical professionals(same with Canada and the UK). Young people here should look to this area instead of dead end arts, business or engineering courses:)

Fascinating, I didn't realize that there seems to be a multi-national shortage of nurses and doctors. I know here in the US, we have recruited nurses from Thailand and the Phillipines to cover our shortages. I should have went into nursing.

Depends on the type of engineering as I pointed out earlier:rolleyes: - don't forget the likes of India and China are churning out hundred of thousands of engineers every year now.

PS: China is now probably the biggest property bubble waiting to burst - wait till all their construction engineers look to emigrate!!

Does this include jobs requiring a degree? I'd be mad to a bit of travelling but I thought one had to go through a massive pile of paperwork to get into Oz unless it was a WHV they wanted.

To be fair though, Australia is more diverse than nearly all european nations. 2 million born asians account for almost 10 percent of the population, then you have to add those born in Australia of asian descent and then add the Aboriginal's who make up 3% so in total 15% of the population isn't white and rapidly increasing. Hopefully it'll become more so like that and match countries like America or Brazil, could definitely do with some more Africans though IMO.

toby08 · 09-07-2011 09:03PM

I personally would advise anyone in 20-40 age group to go for 5 to 10 years.In
reality Irish qualifacitions are well recieved. Its true that some of the higher paid jobs are not in the main cities but for highly paid skilled jobs anywhere in the world this is the case. I have spent a good deal of time working abroad and the best paid jobs were in as an earlier commenter said in the boonies.some areas as follows northsea,canada,australia,middle east.The best of luck to anyone that goes and remember they do say that travel is in itself further education......

The Indians who go to Oz to study usually gave a good degree from their own country and pick some mickey mouse course at a taffe college,the Chinese choose the higher end uni's and all with the purpose of getting residency which is guaranteed after 2yrs study.
As for the Oz govt they have been offering this visa pull for over 10 yrs,they want people to go to the arse end of nowhere it's nothing new and not as a result of the recession in Ireland the fact of the matter is these outback towns are soul destroying.
Anything mote than a few days and you will climb the Walls with boredom.

Sure ya could play knifey spooney to pass the time.

Probably, but Australia isn't far behind. In my opinion they are in a couple of different kinds of bubble at the moment, so get it while it's hot.
