On 23 May I resigned; 2 months notice.

Re: LAFHA - Budget 2012/13

I absolutely agree and feel for you. The Aus government has to be charged with criminal negligence. I wonder may be the British government may complain, make a phone call, or whatever it is they...

Re: LAFHA - Budget 2012/13

Sorry as I've mentioned before (I guess) I really don't give a toss whether I am temporary or permanent or on visa 457 or 247 or 999 or 12345 or whatever - fact is the agent/company insisted on...

Re: LAFHA - Budget 2012/13

Exactly!

BTW, 12K x 5 years contract length = GBP 60K; that's a lovely car or a good deposit on a home or an additional gift to my sister whose losing her battle against bloody nasty sodding...

The government/nanny state regime sucks. The place itself and the people I've met are great.

Re: LAFHA - Budget 2012/13

Fine, no worries! Job in Indonesia is site based with a negotiated amount net in my bank per day worked, plain and simple - the local tax laws etc. will be of no interest to me. Haven't got the job...

Re: LAFHA - Budget 2012/13

The agent (British) and company (Australian) have put me in a predicament (if I'm in a predicament that all that is).
But I'm not in a predicament - better opportunities in other parts of the world;...

Re: LAFHA - Budget 2012/13

Re: LAFHA - Budget 2012/13

1. The notice given was less than 2 months - between the budget day and 30 June. Prior to that was just consultative.

Re: LAFHA - Budget 2012/13

Yes I agree with you!
