Pay rates in Australia have been better than the UK for a long time, 5FDP, even when the pound was stronger. This is how they stand now: http://www.bobinoz.com/blog/10153/au...part-two-2012/ Minimum wages are also much higher in Aus than the UK, which is one of the reasons for higher retail prices, because Aussie companies have to pay the shop staff. And there's a UK wage freeze now, so the gulf between Aus and UK is likely to continue to grow.
