True,

I was there for 1 and a half year to study. Gotta say that they have their good and bad, just like M'sia.

The good
1) Most of the people, at least from where I usually go (the restaurant, the shopping complex, the university and around the city) are friendly.
2) The environment is clean and more healthy, heck even the market's (Paddy's Market) washroom is so clean.
3) Oppotunities are everywhere, but remember it also comes with a cost.
4) The government technically raise your children (exp: AUD5000 when the child is born, no questions asked).
5) It's a developed country, so you can get a lot of stuffs that you wish to get easier.

The bad
1) It is not as safe as you think, at least it is safer is most part of M'sia (sad but have to admit it is true). Gangs are notorious if you are at the wrong place.
2) There are still people that think foreigners like you and me ruin their country.
3) Tax is sky high (15% - 45%) depends what you earn. On the other hand, you are entitled to the "aid fund" if you are jobless (this is only valid if you are a citizen).
4) Living standard is quite high if you stay in Melbourne or Sydney or even Brisbane. I think for a working class person, it would cost about AUD1500 just for living expense.
5) As a new immigrant, unless you got a good pay job (AUD4000 a month per person), you are subject to suffer for quite a while.
6) It might sound weird, but inefficiency is a problem that haunts Aus and New Zealand for quite a while.

Your own judgement
1) People are quite laid back, or maybe it's just they try to get a good time?
2) Normal entertainment here not equals to normal entertainment there.
3) Cars are not recommended
4) They are very down to earth and realist (personally I like this)

My plan is after I got enough money, I will apply for PR (I got an aus degree and working experience and score more than 100 points) on the PR test) but I will still work in the place which I called "Home".

Seriously, I got tears in my eyes the first time I came back from Australia and the flight attendants says "Welcome Home" through the PA.

Just of of curiousity. How much do I need to pay for applying for Australian PR now? Last time I checked its about 1450AUD

Thank you
