[QUOTE="TheDag, post: 54968744, member: 96964"] Depends really. I find I am well received however I know people who are very anti-christian for various reasons. Naturally there are a number of lobby groups with the most vocal being gay & lesbian who are anti-christian and who can blame them considering some of the stuff that has been said. I try to live my life by example and casually drop into conversation that I'm christian and I find people are keen to talk to me about my faith even those who I know hate the church. So depends on if your in peoples face or not. don't know will have to leave this to people with more knowledge. My job and the area I'm studying for are not middle class. I've had some good experiences with politicians so I am a bit less cynical than I normally would be. Of course I am a rather cynical person! Bashing the politicians verbally is what people do. Since the first european settlers were convicts it has become part of our make up to be anti-authority although that is fading away a bit. Generally crime levels are going down however it does depend on where you live exactly. In my area crime is on the increase. I however have no problem with walking the streets at night or my wife walking the streets late at night. Like many places there is an attitude of I pay taxes so I deserve this or that. However the wealthy take large amounts of government money each year. Around 40 % of the welfare budget goes to wealthy people not the single mothers who make up around 1% of the total welfare budget. gotta agree this is over exaggerated. Wild animals are very rare in built up areas. You may have heard of dingo attacks. These have been wild animals that have gotten used to humans through them camping nearby. Shark attacks are pretty rare as well. The last few I've heard of have actually been people swimming in areas where locals won't go. You can generally find out the safe beaches. Patrolled beaches are a good place to start. If you decide to make the move then the kind of work the two of you will be looking for should play a role in where you live. If you ask here where the best place is you will just get arguments which in reality are based solely on where people live. So if you have questions along those lines try to be specific about what you want to know. Also depending on where you come from it is worth noting Australia is an egaletarian country (excuse poor spelling). that is we tend to use first names. As an example I used to work for a company that was in Australia's top 20 companies. Even the cleaners said "hi Stuart" to the highest person in the company. As a newspaper boy I used to be on very friendly terms with doctors and professors. Be prepared if you are not used to this. [/QUOTE]
