some folks like lionnoisy were comparing cost of living.
he said necessities in Australia are more expensive than
Singapore.
i did conversion over to SG dollars before and most of the basic
necessities are cheaper.
Australia is only expensive if have all your meals in
restaurants.
Australian beef sold in Singapore is expensive, Australian beef
sold in Australia is cheap by comparison.
someone who just arrived in Aust will find it expensive, but in
the long term they will realise as they adjust to the basic life
style living cost that its cheaper than sg.
But i can say aust is good for its citizens especially those old
people or students studying as they get subsidised fees for
Uni and get a payment every month when studying.
old people get subsidised for almost everything including
transport.
its not good for those filthy rich or high income earner as they
get taxed heavily. In this singapore is a better place for the rich
and famous.
Aust is a country which upholds moral obligations to
society.
