One bedroom apartments (54-66 square metres) are priced from $350-425,000 (AUD) and two bedroom apartments (83.8 to 94.8 square metres) range from $567-627,000. Three bedrooms can also be configured [no price provided].
These apartments are under development in complex called “Atrium” in Kingston. Kingston is approximately 5.5 km from the centre of Canberra.
It is indeed a victorious news for the aborigine all over the world so aborigine in US, Canada, Australia, etc should take this rare opportunity and immediately urge the ruling immigrants in their respective territory to follow the lead of the current Taiwan president and prepare to leave the mainland of their territories altogether in order to restore the full independence of native aborigine in their rightful territory
Is it easy to find a part time job? How much a person usually earns from part-tome work?

Also some items are irrelevant. There is no point in buying bottled water when all the town water is both safe and nice to drink.
Further the cost of coffee, for example, instead of $3+ is actually about $0.10 when you make it yourself.
An adult cash bus trip (with multiple free 90 minute transfers) is $4.50 but $2.84 with a bus card.
The prices quoted are for people who do not consider price.
The salary difference between jobs you can find for a qualified job will turn out to be irrelevant for this purpose (10 to 15% tops). So, my point is, if you find A job suitable for your qualifications (any job), you'll know what you can afford. Then, only small variations will be applied if you change jobs at the same level.
