I have to disagree with you here.
ACIS, who I work for are a CF-specialist web development company based
in Canberra. Frankly, we have more work for CF and Spectra than we can
do. We have to put clients off from time to time. Sure we've seen a
downturn in the last six months, but so has everybody with 11/9, Federal
and State elections in Australia, etc. But it's definitiely picking up.
The same would seem to go for Sydney where Daemon (one of Sydney's
leading CF studios) is in hiring mode.
I think the CF situation here in Oz is more a case of the CF jobs going
to companies with development teams, rather than jobs for individuals
being advertised. Also, most of the roles I know of for individuals get
filled on a word-of-mouth basis before going to the jobs section of the
Australian or SMH.
Just my $0.04 (given the exchange rate of AU$1=USD$0.50).
