What are you being paid here?
What will you be paid there?
How much will rental/personal insurance/health insurance cost you there?
How much faster will you pay off your loan at 0% interest rate on your
NZ salary? How long will it take? How long will it take to pay off at
7% interest and how much will it cost?
I've recently been in Australia, I would be surprised if you are correct
about being significantly better off in an Australian city on the sort
of income you can make at 23.
