Did the parent poster change their post? I ask because nothing in their post indicated to me that they were focussed on this person being a woman, that they were naive or that there was a suggestion of an indiscretion. That is not to say th

You mention that you'd have to take a big paycut to work in Aus, yet the author of the article complains that it is expensive in Australia because of high wages. Which is correct?
