Christ I was wondering if anyone was going to respond to this guy.. I moved from australia to the usa 4yrs back and now they are passing laws for scanning.. damn that was the nice thing about australia telecom/telstra not co-operating with outside tracers :) I lived in Brisbane and I hear the security job market there is still going strong, and network admins but for general IT work its pretty much a fighting game to get the job. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Rathborn [mailto:adminat_private] Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 8:58 AM To: securityjobsat_private Subject: Re: A question regarding Australian job market Hi, Depends what you wanna do. If you have industry experience or some kind of IT sec education, then you may be able to score a job working with a IT security company around Sydney or Melbourne. With that said though, we just had another bullshit law being pushed by the gov in August, if it goes through it's going to make access of network scanners and security tools very difficult to use in Australia, If it goes through, it's just demented. Script kiddies, crackers and blackhats care nothing for laws, probably just make it more exciting for them anyway, and leaves the whitehats facing potential fines for combating them and auditing systems. The security industry here is apposing the law, so we'll see what happens. Hope that little rant hasn't put you off mate :) our women, climate and beer make up for what the government lack :))) Hi all, I hope there is somebody from Australia reading this list. I am thinking of moving to Australia next year. Can somebody tell me what the situation in network security jobs is now there? demand/offer/salaries/conditions? :) is it possible to find a job in this field in Australia before coming there - sitting somewhere in Europe (provided that I obtain permanent residence before that). Is it difficult to get sponsored to move down there? et cetera, et cetera... All information regarding network security in Australia is welcome :)
