I didn't realise that O&G occupation were so high - it will probably be in the top 1% income earners.

I think trust funds is not as effective as they used to be. Nowadays there isn't as much tax shelters as before - probably only negative gearing and borrow like crazy.

Never heard much about O&G salaries - only heard about the mining jobs pay were like A$250-300k/yr in WA about 7-8 years ago which contributed to a huge property boom in Perth then but in the last 3-4 years that mining boom has faded off.
