One last thing I tried moving to the country. Now I spend the savings travelling to SydneyIn Hobart at the Mona Foma festival, I met a lot of people who had moved from Sydney or Melbourne because the houses are cheaper. But where are the jobs? We are not moving to Sydney because we want, in the words of Barnaby Joyce, "views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge". Have an excellent day and if you spot something I've missed, let me know on Twitter at @earleyedition.
