Thousands of Britons are considering relocating to Australia after being enticed by the promise of more sun, money, and sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, 60,000 people are said to be interested, with Australian minister Paul Papalia boasting, ‘We are the new Love Island.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papalia is leading a delegation of West Australians on a nine-day tour of the United Kingdom in an attempt to recruit 30,000 British citizens to work in the state’s public sector, which includes the police force, hospitals, and hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The delegation is also seeking to hire doctors, teachers and civil engineers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papalia said: ‘If you’re a single Brit, come on out because you might not be single for long.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘It’s lower cost of living, higher wages, and magnificent weather,’ he said of the country’s attractions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018What is there not to like?’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the King’s police officers stationed outside Horse Guards Parade was reportedly enticed by a lucrative starting salary of \u00a351,000 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papalia stated that the country is “getting our own back” after decades of Australians moving to Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: ‘You took some of our best and brightest. And there was never that question in regards to us losing our young ones to the UK.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papalia told The Times newspaper he was shocked by the resourcing issues the UK police is facing, along with the pay disparity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘The wages [in the UK] are far lower, the conditions are worse and resourcing appears to be far worse. So there’s all manner of reasons why [WA is] more attractive,’ he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 800 British police officers have applied for jobs in Australia, The Times reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recruits, who are required to have at least three years’ experience, will start on around \u00a350,000, compared with \u00a330,000 for a UK constable with five years’ experience. <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
