No, if you can prove that you are leaving the country and will NEVER return to live in Australia, you can access your super.

Buy a one way ticket to Brazil. You will never be living in this country again.

I've used select cabinets (approx 2 years ago) and have recommended them to other people who also had good things to say. http://selectcabinets.com.au/ I cant for the life of me remember his name, but he has his builders license so can do full kitchen/bathroom renos and supplied all his...

Nice one, in 15 years what will be the annual income from those 11 units?

Thinking about making a move at the end of the year. Saving as much as possible because I hear it's a little expensive. So, what's it like for the locals?

You've taken 20-30 tradies to the VCAT, perhaps there is a pattern forming here? Could you please do every tradesman from Victoria a favour and post your name and phone number so they know never to even answer your calls.

That's awesome, pass JWR's number onto them!

Yeah, you're right, being a tradesman isn't a glamorous job, but we don't need to defend ourselves like you do. Your whole post is white collar vs. blue collar and it seems to me like you wish you were wearing a different shirt.

Anyway, to the original poster, good luck because you are absolutely going to need it. Seriously, every single person isn't telling you to not do it because they jealous of you saving the magical 40% from a builders quote you assume you can do it for. Everyone here is genuinely helpful and...

I'm a tradesman and when I have to work for a customer that watches everything I do, tries to help out to save me time, asks how much longer I'm going to be, watches me eat my lunch, not offer a coffee if they're making one, then yes THAT'S EXACTLY HOW TRADESMEN WILL ACT WHEN THEY WORK FOR...

Who get's to decide what lazy is? I'll just put this here...

Ahh.. my sarcastic/ignorant/stereotyping post was actually directed at "travelbug"'s sarcastic/ignorant/stereotyping post.

Spot on, every single person I've worked with that is super old (35+) is incompetent and slow at their job.

Correct on what painter said. Also the sparky (if the sparkies are doing your phone and data cabling as well) will put the conduit from the pit to the house and its up to telstra (hence the ridiculous connection fee) to install the cable when you or the tenant sign up for it.

I'm feeling exactly the same way as you at the moment. People getting paid double what I make per hour, and I do (not exaggerating, I actually compared today) double the work. Hit up the boss this afternoon asking how long this current employee is going to be working with us and tell him how...

regrow sign me up as an electrician where you work! A bloke I work with does the same as you, but only when people need time off etc. He makes more in a day as a welders T/A than he does at home being a sparky in a week!

If there are no external walls, can you lock it up? ;) internal walls (generally) shouldn't be fitted until external walls are up for weather etc.

Hey guys awesome advice from everyone I really appreciate it, keep it coming. I'm currently also trying to get a start in mining and despite what everyone believes you don't just fall into a $150k job just because you're an electrician
