Try going on a 3 week asian holiday when you're mortgaged through the roof lol.

Then people can find themselves in a bit of a trap, and end up having to pay private school fees. If LAFHA allowed for state school fees (for 457 visa holders) or private school fees, it would help families a lot and it's a shame that it doesn't cover it. BTW, I was told that WA state MPs can get private school fees taken off their (considerable) income before tax, don't know if that's true, but it's alright for some.
You want to try coming on a 457 to NSW. Not only do you not get LAFHA on school fees, you get a bloody great bill for public schools. I think I paid something close to $30k before we got off the 457.

He is a absolute tool Dorothy, don't engage with him.

Not sure if that works or not Dweebie but here are some stats for Clarkson. Makes for interesting reading for such a dump.

I believe Dorothy already mentioned she has a mortgage. Whether it is through the roof or not we do not know.

However the point is daft, it is like saying "try spending all your money on X when you have already chosen to spend most of it on Y". Nonsense.

The point is Dorothy lives in Perth area, owns a house (with mortgage) and goes on overseas holidays. Something you said is not possible.

You have never lived in most of the places you slate and you make statements about things because your friends second cousin twice removed told you something therefore it must be true.

Oh well Dweebie, not long till school starts again.

Neither do you. I think you'll find there are people who do regularly agree with what I say. Also you wouldn't be able to find many information on what I say as it would hurt this countries multi billion dollar immigration industry.
