although china town job easy to find (allowed u to work extra hour) but the pay is so low and the job is none stop ..... pay around 5-8 aud no tax.

11Oct07

AIRASIAX is wading through airspace regulation in its bid to fly into Victoria and maintains Avalon Airport remains its preferred destination.

Chief executive Asran Osman-Rani said yesterday locking in air rights remained a key part of the puzzle for the budget airline, along with securing aircraft.

``Things are definitely in motion,'' Mr Osman-Rani said.

``I think there are key meetings happening with key decisions which governments are both working on, but I don't think we're in a position to be specific about.

``What we're basically seeking is obviously support from both governments to make it work for us and I think both governments are keen.''

AirAsiaX will launch flights between Kuala Lumpur and the Gold Coast next month with one A330 aircraft.

It has ordered 15 more and will get two of them next year.

The Air Asia subsidiary has offered one-way introductory Gold Coast fares of $99 and plans to keep one-way seats available at $199.

Air Asia announced in June it wanted to fly into Avalon.

``We basically remain committed to getting a route into Victoria, we're dealing with the Victorian government,'' Mr Osman-Rani said yesterday.

``At this stage we are just saying Victoria but we are definitely continuing discussions with Avalon and it remains our preferred airport in Victoria.''

Avalon Airport general manager Tim Anderson declined to comment on the progress of negotiations yesterday but confirmed a relationship with AirAsiaX remained strong.

Industry sources have confirmed Avalon owner Linfox is well advanced in planning a $10-million international terminal for the airport and the City of Greater Geelong has issued a formal planning permit.

Mr Osman-Rani said the Australian venture had generated strong interest in Malaysia.

``We've had a lot of takers particularly from Malaysia to come down which is good for your tourism,'' he said.

``We're selling the whole kangaroo and koala bear experience to Malaysians.''

About the minimum wage, it all actually depends on your age and what sector are you working in.
If I'm not mistaken theres a whole list of minimum wages published on the state government website, and i reckon different industry has different minimum wage. Age is also an important factor in determining your rate, the general rule of thumb is the older you are the more you get.

so that means i can get a bank loan from a bank in aus bt a collateral of a hse here?

you are NOT eligible get any bank loan from aussie bank at all Unless u r PR or citizen

you are NOT going to get any funding in oz..........in fact you will need to show that you have enough money for the duration of your studies, before they will grant you a student visa......

you will need to borrow money here, and convert it to oz $ for use there.........ptptn do not give loans for overseas..............it will have to be private loans, eg banks or ah longs...........

I'm interested.

yeah is true i saw alot of china ppl hate them man!!

err wat r u referring to?

Hey, I just wanna ask, How did u guys manage to secure the job? I mean, how did u guys apply for it? Did u guys go to one shop and another to search ? As far as I am concerned, there are only a few shops post their advertisements on the door...............................

for big companies, you can go to their websites like coles, mcdonalds etc to apply.
I got shotlisted to be interviewed by coles but i rejected , it took them 6 months to reply though
some jobs, like in chinese restaurant you have walk in their store and ask for vacancy I guess
Just try searching online, or maybe try at your own uni. if not just go to the outlet and ask their staff if there is vacancy available

13.50 is the lowest for all field and for those under 21(cutting tobacco will earn 30 per hour but work like hell) but still much more better work in china town ...
And same job with different pay ? i think is only apply to PR or citizen but the working environment is so nice, after u work there, back to malaysia will be suffer ...


Btw i plan to go back Melb in coming year or next .... 10 year anniversary

wow...so much expension since i was posted a reply here....anyone from brissy?

$30 per hour is loads man.

Work like hell, doesn't bother some people, but $30 per hour is really an attractive working job..if you can get it
