ACtually I think you'll find the percentage on BE that are settled and happy outweigh those who aren't However they don't usually say they are "Happy" they just talk about life here.

I'm H A P P Y, I'm H A P P Y. I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm H A P P Y.

Please show me in that report where it says the number who return in the first 5 years ...

I can't find it, but I assume it must be there, otherwise you wouldn't use the link to prove your point, would you ?

Statistics from other reports from www.immi.gov.au show that on average:Therefore if we look at 110,000 arrivals, about 10,351 will leave within the first 5 years.

But if you can point us to the contradictory info that you are referring to it would help.

So 1 in 4 go home then?

I am sure everyone can read it for themselves without the help of your usual spin.

Indeed.

....and you managed to read that without ABC's usual "helpful interpretations"

And 75% stay. Of those, 5% whinge on BE and of those that go back 100% whinge on BE or somewhere else.

So said by someone who hasn't tried it yet

But you Twisted it, and say I am spinning

They weren't wrong, you were.

And to get round it, you say I am spinning it.

No, but I'm gonna grit my teeth and give four years at least (citizenship) and then take it from there.

People don't need to live in Australia, to be able to read and interpret this site

1 in 4 return

try reading the report. It was produced by the Australian government so it must be true

Well I hope you don't whinge about it as much as you whinge about the British weather

Me too! I'll give you guys a break!

I don't disagree with that, and never have, eg: from previous figures by me, and detailed on my own site: But you said that the poster was wrong with the figures based on the first 5 years. YOU were the one that was wrong on that point.
