New Zealand has nice weather, absolutely gorgeous place, nice tourist destinations; all in all GREAT place to visit. Don't think it's the best place to live (too many racist skin heads) and employment prospects are low, thus Somali Kiwis tend to flock to ozzy
Aussie is alright mate. Good job prospects, universal healthcare, decent welfare system, pretty beaches & beautiful weather. Anyways check out this clip on a semi-related topic , perhaps it will open your eyes to Australia like your yank compatriots

Re: ANy Somalis here from New Zealand and Australia?
It all depends on what you are after, working, developing a career, doing business, raising a family, etc.
NZ - is beautiful, fresh, calm, and quite. a good place to retire I'd say but the employment prospects there aren't that great an thats the reason most Somalis left for Australia and US (I included) shortly after they get the passport.
Australia - is much bigger country 24 mil v/s NZ's 4 Milion ppl, It has many well developed cities, Sydney is the business city an the biggest,
Melbourne is the sporting capital and has a laid back culture and somewhat European cosmopolitan feel to it, goo to raise a family there , its also where the most Malis live.
Brisbane is the white Aussie city with the resorts an tourists.
Perth is closest to Africa with African like weather, it is popular with the Muqayiliin as Jaad grows there mainly as a gardening shrub, many locals wonders why these skinny Africans are grazing or their garden plants.
there are more an more Yankees and Brits moving to Australia nowadays, I guess they figured life is easier on this side of the world.
Somalis who live in Aus are not as affluent as the US Somalis though, in terms of how many scholars, educators, Doctors, ex-statesmen, Businessmen, etc. the Somalis here are mainly in he Taxi and other semi-skilled labour industries. the are fragmented and have clan based community organisations, they also have some businesses in two Melbourne malls.
Australia is very multicultural country, there are whole suburbs dominated by different migrant communities in Sydney for example, you have Muslims (mainly Turkish and Lebanese) in the West of the city (Somalis live among the Muslims off course) you will think you are in some Middle Eastern country wen you are in these suburbs, shop names are in Arabic, most womn have their hijab, and big beards are plenty. Halal food everywhere
there are other suburbs dominated by , Italians, Vietnamese, Chinese, Greek, etc. and the withes live mainly in the North
come and see it for a holiday

Re: ANy Somalis here from New Zealand and Australia?
Jamaal, awesome bro. But you know what gets me laughing? When Europeans/other Westerners say "multicultural". I mean you never hear that in Canada or U.S because being multicultural is the norm not the exception nothing to make apparent. I guess we say "diversity" in place.
But thanks for the response you covered a lot of points, however how would you say living in New Zealand is and in both of those countries are Somalis ghettoized in certain sections or have the opportunity to break out and mingle with the larger society?

Our Winter in warmer than your Summer, so no competition in the weather department.
Australia had officially adopted a multicultural policy, reversing a white Australia immigration policy used til the late 60s. They have accepted immigrants from Vietnam, Lebanon, Turkey, China etc to mark a shift in policy.Voltage wrote:Jamaal, awesome bro. But you know what gets me laughing?

New Zealand as I said is exceptionally beautiful country full of majestic scenery. the education system there is way better than Australia's. However, it's economy isn't as large as Australia and employment opportunities aren't that plenty especially the Blue colour jobs required by new migrants like the Somalis.
NZ's economy is mainly dependant on the primaries industry i.e. Agri and meat product exports mainly to Japan and other Asian markets and in some instances America and middle east.
The best Job a Somali can get in NZ in my time 95-2000 was as Halal Slaughtermen: mrgreen:
I did a couple of seasons to pay off my Uni fees and I have slaughtered nearly 1 million sheep
Somalis as nomads never usually stay in NZ more than 5 years therefore they have never made any inroads into the mainstream society.
Australia offers most of what a typical uneducated middle aged Farah with 4.5 kids needs. Cheap government subsidized housing (mainly 20 story high rise buildings built in the 50s for the Commonwealth games in Melbourne) (see the pics)
They pay around $45 for three bedrooms (not bad for their location, being close to the city) if you can ignore the drug dealing and mainly junky looking white/Asian, increasingly Sudanese neighbours, and bear the occasional lift outages.
With cheap housing, the next thing a Somali needs is a job that allows him to keep getting the CAYR (gov benefits) and can’t be traced for income Tax, this is where the Taxi comes into the equation.
Taxi drivers make an around 5000 Aus Dollars /month (~ 4500 US$) for 75 hour Jaad-energized long 12 X 6 shifts. Haduu naagta dhaho isma qabno oo waan kala tagnayna they get additional 1200/fortnights payments from the Gov this money more than covers their living expenses. A typical family saves around 10-12,000 a month.
Ayuuto/hagbad ayay ku wada jiraan sometimes worth 50,000 a hand.
Somalis are good savers as they don’t drink Alcohol and don’t go out on expensive regular dinners or holidays. Some families have started to move to their own brand new houses out to the suburbs after they saved enough money to put down a deposit or buy a land and then build their dream home.
it seems the Somali community in Melbourne especially are taking slow but consistent step into a bright future, if some family move into their own home most will want to copy them and achieve similar feet, marka its good iney hada guryaha ku tartamayaan instead of whose wedding was more expensive.
Thanks to the never ending unrest back home Somalis here have decided to not hold their breath for a better Somalia, and go ahead with live in Australia as a result they are building Close gate estates around brand new Mosque and Islamic schools out in the suburbs, upgrading their high rise Ghettos onto Mansions.
High rise
New life in the suburbs
