How many of your Australian friends are making that much every month? Is everyone driving a porsche in Australia
Last I checked, a two single storey home in most city outer suburbs cost around AUD$175k to AUD$300k. If one is making AUD$20k a month, he should be able to afford a new house once every 2 years.
Most couples are not making that kind of money, that's why there in poverty, there more likely driving a Toyota corolla on this type of income anyhow.
The luxury car tax on Porsche make them much less common in Australia than they are in the USA.

AUD$175 to $300k is the basic construction cost of a home in Australia in one of the poorer areas, these construction cost ironically don't include the slab of concrete the house sits on, or the plumbing gas and electricity or a$64,000 developers tax that has to pay on every new block of land which goes for paying for local facilities.
However you also have to buy the land to build the house on and if you want to live with in 15 kilometers from the centre of Sydney, your looking at a cost of at least AUD$1,200,000 unless you directly under the flight path or on a very busy main road, but if your a white anglo saxon and want to live next door to other white anglo saxons who speak your own language and have the same culture, your going have to pay mush more.
Migration has priced Australians out of Sydney and force them to move to cheaper cities, that's why you don't see many Australians in Sydney and is why I feel I'm living in the middle east as it seems every one is speaking arabic.
