That part about the trades wages and tradespeople being able to make decent wages also aligns with what I've gleamed so far from reading.

Granted it looks like Australia is not just handing out visas and what not like candy on halloween. Rarely will the stars ever align to be so lucky for anyone in this world. So that's not something to fret over or lose your rationality.

What are some of the tradesworkers Australia needs or likely will need in the years to come? What are the current trends or forecasts as far as construction or manufacturing goes for Australia. For that matter I just realized that I don't really know much about the blue collar world in Australia overall.

I heard that there's a decent amount of offshore oil drilling, but not as much as as Gulf of Mexico and there's not really all that much oil drilling on Australia dryland either, but there is a good amount of agriculture. But as far as industrialization of the economy there...yaaaaaaa I'm not going to pretend like I have the first clue here.

Plumbers, electricians make a fair bit of money, provided it is your own PTY LTD company. An employee makes minimum / award wage, which is still decent but nowhere near 'comfortable' (my definition of comfortable is you can live a regular life without worrying about running out of money).
With this type of trade, as a sole trader / small company type of setup, as long as you have your trade certificates and insurances sorted out you have your foot in the industry, and the rest is up to you.

Oil & gas is harder to get into, as you'll need to apply to become an employee of one of the multinationals that carry out that sort of work. You will most likely live on site for long periods, and won't have the type of "if a job is too hard I can walk away from it" freedom that regular tradies can (albeit with some reputational damage).

Like the other posters said, do your research first, and make your move only when you're absolutely sure this is what you want.
Also, if you are expecting supermodels left right and center, you will be deeply and greatly disappointed.

Mind posting the breakdown? Also, are you reporting your gas usage or are you letting Enbridge
pulling numbers out of their a*s estimate your usage?

Got Enbridge to come and replace the meter. We'll see for this month.

Random question:

Those "Japanese" vtubers on youtube and/or bilibili, who can speak bits of chinese sometimes. It seems to me that most of them are straight up Chinese (pretending to be Japanese), or of Chinese descent in Japan.

I'm wondering does everyone share this view? Or are there actually people who believe that Japanese vtubers can speak a few words of Chinese with the right accent and lingo because they are learning Chinese?

I just got annoyed cause Bilibili front page always have those vtubers, and a lot of them speak Japanese??? I don't know where to ask this question cause I don't really watch vtubers.

I mean alot of aspacts of the japanese language are copied from China but yeah I see your point. All of the vtubers might be taiwanese or shanghainese or hong kongers.

我不关注V圈皮套人，但可以说个故事。但我记得5、6年前有些日本V圈人发现中国平台更能赚钱后就转移到bilibili直播，当时甚至有日本粉丝表示这是背叛，但几年后就发生了台湾人取台独ID送礼给日本的V主播念，本来事情不大的但其所属公司和她本人并没有好好处理导致事件发酵，最终导致日本V圈几年的努力白费，在中国市场的全面崩盘，中国本土的V圈之后迅速崛起取代了日本V原先的地位，NGA作为当时的主战场应该还有留存

有意思的是这事件并没有引发大众关注，全是圈内的粉丝为爱国情怀而战斗冲这家公司和主播，我也是几个月后才了解到。大概是因为这个重量级的历史事件导致现在中国V圈以抽象著称，在日本居住的华人bilibiliV主播被其粉丝戏称为大汉奸（甚至有人画本子和色图），但依然是热门主播。反正外人（包括我）看V圈的各种主播和破事都觉得是一团乱麻，不用太过于纠结里面的破事

Well, this story is just to help answer his doubts. I don’t know English and can only use Google Translate, and too long text will definitely produce deviations after translation. I am very sure that he can understand or read Chinese, so I directly Answer him in Chinese to avoid deviations in the translated content.

Thanks for your informative answer. I recall reading something about hololive getting banned in China previously, I assume it's related to your story. I was just puzzled that it seems like the comments were all filled with people (pretending) the vtuber is somehow an authentic Japanese person or something? Then again, maybe these people are also playing along with their fantasies or something.
