Re: New COVID rules for Australians who live overseas and visit Australia

How did you go with your exemption request Rabble Rouser?

Any update?

It's looking like I may need to depart this gilded cage towards the end of the year, so keen to see how others have managed...

Re: Shotguns

You need to contact the NSW Firearms Registry, who can provide advice.

Still here - just been avoiding the inevitable Left vs Right shitshow threads, which doesn't leave much else TBH.

Re: The mind boggling world of health care

Yup, exactly what Zulu and Beoz have said.

Health 'insurance' isn't really insurance, it's really a tax incentive scheme that allows you to recover some of the costs of going private. There are a...

Re: Customs search of my shipping container

Which state you are moving back to will also make a difference. In NSW all of the replica firearms would require a permit to import and own, and it would be a painful process to obtain one. They...

Re: Super anyway to cash it out when moving back to the UK?

Yeah, and they all seem to use different metrics, different reporting periods etc, which makes it even more complex to draw a meaningful conclusion.

Re: Super anyway to cash it out when moving back to the UK?

Only the last few years have I really started to get clued in on Super - I think the major irritation is how difficult the funds make it to move super from one provider to another. In theory it...

Re: How long before you buy your first Electric Vehicle.

I'm very keen, but need better public charging infrastructure before I commit to EVs. Currently I'm living in a terrace, so no possibility of charging at home - unless the council will be happy with...

Re: Super anyway to cash it out when moving back to the UK?

Exactly my point - it's got to stay here, so it may as well be working. A low fee account is the way forward here.

While good for returns, Hostplus aren't the best for fees. Here are my fee...

Re: Amazon incoming ...

Cost of living is high, but wages and salaries also high as well - National minimum wage is about $21 I think.

Re: Amazon incoming ...

This actually looks to be pretty good value for a bulk buy of coke - in a regular supermarket, a 30 can pack is AU$39, so about $1.30 per can. Much much more in a convenience store - I payed $5 for a...

Re: Super anyway to cash it out when moving back to the UK?

As you are going to have to leave it, you should look at minimising the costs to maintain the fund while you are away.

You should roll it over to a low fee index tracking fund, and cancel any...

Re: Recruiting Agency Withdrawing Application

Is it a contract role? If so, you have hit the nail on the head here - the agency will be creaming off the difference. It sounds like it to me - as the agent would want a cut of the negotiated salary...

Re: Bye Bye Decent Shopping - Amazon to block Australian customers

I hadn't considered this aspect - I use Amazon almost exclusively for my Christmas and family birthday shopping. Will need to VPN up for this going forward.
