Look at how slowly the economy is transitioning to renewables.
We have the worst environmental policies of the developed world, meanwhile we have every opportunity to be world leaders in production and manufacture of solar both PV and thermal, energy storage by way of pumped hydro, we're blessed with the second largest lithium deposits in the world (which we don't value add), we have boundless plains that could be sustainably farmed (instead of draining the Murray-Darling to grow rice and cotton). The decision makers are an elite club of miners and pastoralists though.
Our deputy PM Insolently said to Pacific Islanders, that they will survive sea level rise by coming to pick our fruit. Embarrassing the entire nation and showing the governments true colours.
India will most probably skip centralised power generation and distribution from burning coal to running microgrids and Australia's coal industry will have no customers. Yet the Federal government was more than willing to bankroll Adeni to build a monster coal mine. Imagine how far 1 Billion dollars (the amount of our money they would "lend") would go towards developing renewable projects and re-skilling workers of the polluting industries.
Australia is a safe, friendly place live, but don't try to have an intelligent conversation with any of us
Sydney is much safer than London, Chicago, Paris or Los Angeles. The work culture is good, you can choose between private and public healthcare. Taxation is reasonable, public transport is improving (light rail, new underground lines) and is quite decent already. Sydney is even building a new airport. Universities are good. Food is great and many areas have been regenerated (see Barangaroo) + there are talks of regenerating other areas west of Pyrmont as well.
"Sydney is boring" if you're inactive. You can go to the Blue Mountains or take a ferry to Watsons Bay or Manly and enjoy miles of pristine landscapes. The city does have museums and other types of attractions. The parks are amazing. The only problem Sydney has is people drinking too much (which prompted local authorities to introduce lockout laws that damaged the city's nightlife a little)... and that it is expensive.
That being said, Sydney is a global city & the most important financial centre in the southern hemisphere and your money will go further than in London anyway.
I have lived in many countries, Uk,USA,South America etc. I removed myself from the dump called Australia to the Czech Republic because in my opinion it is still a British penal colony run by criminals.
Economically the country is in shambles, virtually every public utility is owned by overseas investors, it does not stop there, for example there are only 3 hotels within the Blue Mountains district of N.S.W that are NOT owned by Chinese investors. They own the restaurants and other tourist utilities and hire locals to run them.
One can be excused for thinking one arrived in Asia when arriving at Sydney International airport.
Sydney IS a pretty city with the harbour etc but is soon becomes boring once one has seen the opera house and harbour bridge!
The inhabitants are somewhat retarded, all they can think about and talk about is 'da footy and meat pies'.
Australians in general are the most politically unaware of any people I have ever come across within the Western world, that includes the Southern States of USA, which is saying a lot about the inhabitants of Australia!!
With new funds in hand she was excited ditch the rental life and buy her first apartment ever, an apartment she told me would be her retirement home. I carefully culled appropriate selections for her and previewed units to make a list of top recommendations. But she saw some pictures on a website and totally fell in love with a relative large apartment on the 4th floor of a walkup building far from subways but which oozed prewar character. The hassles of getting things up or down 4 flights up was precisely the reason this unit seemed like such a deal compared to the more expensive doorman + elevator buildings I showed her.
When we viewed the apartment, she already had clear difficulty in making it up the stairs, but she told me she was “absolutely in love.”
It took substantial persuasion and tactful discussions to help her understand that if this was to be her “forever home,” and she expected to live here for the next 10, 15 years or more, she HAD to give thought to what it would be like to navigate those flights of stairs at age 80, 85 or 90.
Fortunately, I was able to convince her to view some of the attractive apartments I was recommending that were somewhat smaller, but in elevator buildings. The one she finally bought had an elevator, 24 / 7 doorman, a block from the subway and featured a rooftop solarium.
I stayed in touch with her over several years and she recently called me asking me “Guess where I am right now?? I’m in my rooftop sooo laaaa reeee ummmmm !!!” She insisted I come join her for lunch and during lunch she told me how much she loves her building and thanked me profusely for dissuading her from purchasing the walk-up apartment in the little building far out of the way. As it turned out, she had developed some issues with her hips that may eventually require surgical intervention and she described having an elevator and 24 / 7 attendant as a “lifesaver.”
The job of a SELLER’s broker is always to “sell the house.” But for the BUYER’s broker that job is ensuring the client gets a good deal on a great property that best meets the client’s needs. A buyer relies on his / her agent / broker for exactly this insight and expertise, even when that means being told “Nope. I know you love it, but this is not right for YOU.” Contact me bryankingston001@gmail.com to get your apartment

I want to know what monthly salary is enough to live a normal life in Sydney?
The food prices in the supermarkets are the same, doesn't matter where you are.The prices indicated on the website are accurate.
Eating out, Cairns and Melbourne are very expensive, even the price of the daily lunch menu is way more than here.
In Sydney, I would say eating out at a normal bar/pub is quite reasonable compared to the other cities in Australia. Most places offer great deals, like $10 burgers and $12-15 steak, even at prime locations like Darling Harbour.
There are two expensive things in Sydney:
1. transportation
The first 8 rides are full prices, after the 8th the rides are at half prices. The weekly cap is around $60.
I live only 20 minutes away from work, however I have never payed less than the $60 cap.
2. Accommodation
If you are single, you need to be very well off to afford a 1 bedroom unit in the city. Below $500 per week without utilities it is impossible to find something.
Two-bedroom apartments are around $7-800 per week.
I work in an office in IT, my hourly wage is $25 which is quite average in an office environment. I work 37.5 hours a week, that equals to $937.5 per week, but this is before tax. My net wage is around $700 per week.
I rent a room in a 6 bedroom shared house for $250 including bills.
Mobile: $6 per week
Insurance: $12 per week
Transport: $60 per week
Total fix spending: $328 per week
Tax rates in 2018:

19c for each $1 over $18,200

Hey man, your degree may not be recognized but PMP is international and I just got hired as a developer, so good news for IT. Lots of job in the area and a degree doesn't seem to be an issue.
The package I'm seeing through some jobs on linkedin, indeed and others range from 60-90k/year for mid level, 100-180k/year for senior and management roles. Good luck! By the way, try stackoverflow jobs!
Sorry, your ovearseas degrees/diplomas aren't recognized here in Australia.
There are no jobs in Sydney or anywhere in Australia unless you're in the medical or accounting fields.
Thanking you in advance.
Awaiting your reply/feedback, please.
