Continuing Rant Thread - Get it Off Ya Chest here

[bradsbrew]

on top of the roof trusses,

So you built it on the roof? Or you mean on top of the ceiling frames (bottom chord)? Hopefully you didnt build a storage area on the ceiling battons.

 

[shaunous]

Hahaha, when you put it that way, ya making me sound like a racist Man-Tickles...

I like some Arab's, I worked with them, unless you have worked with and lived with them for weeks at a time, you have no idea, in saying that, a couple of them are the nicest people ever and I still keep in contact.

I dont dislike Kiwi's, i dislike the fact they are allowed to come in untrianed to Perth airport straight from NZ without never even living here, get off a plane and score a high paying mine job then do the training because a cuzzy bro somehow got the top spot, meanwhile there are shitloads of trained Australians sitting around Perth twiddling there fingers without work. This not only relates to WA and Perth, but its probably worse there. This is more a government thing rather then a people thing.

Yanks are god damn nice people, they are just bad travellers.

Dont get me started on the Papua New Guineans...

:lol:

p.s. I have had no dealings with people from Luxembourg

He'd never see it then at least and it wouldnt be noticed by the missus.

Hah, we had none of these 'problems' travelling in the off peak time. I bet the beggars climb out of hibernation at peak tourist months, makes sense since most of the local business shut down for holidays too, no where to work at the time so scam I suppose. My own experience in Paris was very good. Friendly people, not overly so either. Except for that Pavarotti who ushered us into his restaurant, the food was great though.

Look, I'm not good with all those building terms in this language that we speak over here, but a quick google image search tells me that I indeed might have done something that is frowned upon by a tradie trainer (or whatever it is that you're doing).


EDIT: Hang on, bottom chord it is. The long side of the triangle, right?

Throwing it out there, maybe they bitch and moan less than the finger twiddlers.
In reality though, kiwis live on far inferior working rights here than even anyone that gets proper visas to come here. They got no protection or support whatsoever. So far the ones I've met have been bloody awesome and hard workers to boot.

:lol: . Only pulling ya chain mate. At least you didnt refer to the ceiling as the roof.

How so??? Not the many i've worked with.

I never find it hard getting a job, but im a Caterpillar trained DIesel Mechanic so im kinda lucky i wanted to do that, as us mob are a little sought after, im just refering to other not so sought after trades i work alongside or did spend time with in camps. BUT, your probably right, but who knows.

 

[pk.sax]

Kiwis aren't eligible for the dole or even fair entitlements should their employer go under. They can't get Aussie citizenship. Basically besides that they can come in easy and don't need visas they are worse off in the work force than an Aussie or even a middle eastern on PR.

 

[shaunous]

Cant they not get first home owners and all that ******** straight off the plane, or is my Maori buddy a wee confused?

 

[manticle]

Pretty sure First home owner's grant is open only to permanent residents and AU citizens. Kiwis have the right to live and work here straight off the plane (as do we there) but on a different visa. If they want permanent residency, they have to apply and be approved, so there's a process.

 

[Florian]

That's one of my absolute pet hates when it comes to 'that sort of stuff'.

 

[spog]

Do you like anyone from any other country Shaunous? So far: french, yanks, cuzzy bros and muzzies have been on your list. How are you with people from Luxembourg?

Dunno about this Luxembourg place, sounds dodgy to me might have to give it a wide berth an Aussie tourist has to be on his guard all times.
Err I mean at all times.

NZ'ers get first homers grant off the plane. They get stamped with a SCV at customs automagically. No dole for them or hand outs for at least two years which is excellent. Otherwise all the dole bludging scumbags would be here already with all their 60+ family digging up the back yard to cook a feed.

By 'getting a first home owners grant' they need to fill a banks criteria first which a normal deposit etc is needed. A work history is needed as well which is impossible to get 'off the plane'.

So in reality yes they get it if they have work history here or a big fat deposit enough for the bank to look at them seriously. I was in the latter part where we bought a house almost outright along with business interests here so we know what it's like to come off a plane and get a secure footing here by working, buying houses etc. **** the dole and that ****. Never been on one and have no intention to find out what it's like to get one.

 

[shaunous]

Just what I thought...

Baaahahahahaha

 

[Airgead]

digging up the back yard to cook a feed.

If my next door neighbors were digging a hangi in their back yard I would be over there quick smart with a keg of beer under my arm. Those things are amazing. So tasty.

And nothing like friendly Maori neighbors for some added security. BTW Cube not all Maori are scumbags, anymore than all white folks are angels.

Yeah category 1 B states that AU citizens or permanent residents only may apply - however the small print in the footnotes makes exceptions for NZ with special Visa.

As you say though - still a process that needs to be followed. You don't just jump on a plane, land at Melbourne airport and get given thousands of dollars to buy a home in Surrey Hills.

Yes, but can't assume every man has, and knows how to use, a circular saw

Sorry, every Man does own, and knows how to use, a circular saw.
