.....due to a much higher build quality in Australian homes.
You've also made the claim that the lower wages are relative because other expenses are less in NZ.
Which expenses are these you speak of?
NZ minimum wage is $15 per hour, Australia is close to $18 per hour
Price of petrol in NZ is over $2 per litre, price of petrol in Australia is $1.20 per litre.
That doesn't look too relative to me?????
NZ also has higher heating costs.
Cost of loaf of bread in NZ = $1.55, Australia $1.80 but the minimum wage is more than $3 higher.
2 litres of milk in NZ = $3.60, in Australia around $3.
It's so relative, that is why people in NZ are always broke and goes some way to explaining why more than 15 percent of NZ's population is living in Australia.
I think we all know who has had the wool pulled over their eyes.
