*get on soap-box*

It shakes me to the core how some people can be so openly dishonest!  I live my life, naiively I guess, expecting people to have similar moral's to me, and quite clearly they don't.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not mounting my moral high horse here, I by no mean's always tow the line, but when we are talking about something so important as visa's, people's lives, where another country is expecting nothing but utmost honesty from applicants, I'm shocked at some people's lack of respect they have for "the system" and DIAC. Let me explain...

 I've just been reading a thread where some member's are planning to openly apply (or maybe they've already applied) for a SSV in another state than the one they want, with the blatent intention of not staying there for the required two years, one member even suggested to get a PO Box so the state wouldn't know!! Don't get me wrong, there is no-one out there that want's a PR visa more than us, but even that's below my "lower than a snake's belly button" standards!

I hope to God, that Australian States have other method's of checking where these people are, that they can check up via medicare or superannuation policies or something!!?? And then they can be unceramoniously grabbed by the scruff of the neck and slung out when found to be breaking the conditions of their visa, like a lot other visa types.

If we don't get into WA, then we will either wait here in Blighty, or if we decide to apply to another state where our skills are in demand, then we will wait there for the required 2 years, then move to WA with our conciounces in tact.

And.......dismount!

There we are... one blog and the world's sorted!
