Shortly after arriving in Oz, I found myself out of a job and went through very tough times for a while.
With a young family, it was suggested that I seek a helping hand from welfare, but I couldn't bring myself to do it as I hadn't contributed.
Tough times can be a great motivator if you pull your finger out, but not everyone thinks the same.
40 odd years later having built a successful small business, i'd do the same again if I had to.
Prior to coming here, we were subjected to very thorough medical check ups. Maybe the standards have slipped?
The general health of the nation we are coming from, should also be scrutinised closely.
