Oh my word no! The boys at school used to say, "I'm gonna duff him up". Oh those were the days of innocence.;)

Yes...when the geeky kid was splattered behind the bikeshed - least it couldn't be seen.
And also the place where girls went, then emerged up the duff.

there is a possibility of you getting a visa,but it means you arranging an AQF 3 test.
you have to go to oz for that , what it is basically is a test to prove you can do (professionally) a trade. i.e for you ,tiling. you'd have to do your homework on the way they work out there and materials etc. etc.
i read about this elsewhere on this site(i may attempt a visa this way myself)

Of course, you could do what I did. Find an Australian and marry one. Simply done.... just move to London and hang out with the Aussies.

Worked for me.;)

Unfortunately, "Lying, cheating dole bludger" is not on the skills shortage list - in fact it is one of the few areas where Australia already has more than it needs.

As someone of a similar age range to you I do feel bad for you. When we applied for our family VISA I was the only one who wasn't 100% if I wanted to go or not, but my parents reminded me if I didn't go when they did on the same VISA, and waited and applied for my own individual VISA, things would be much harder...So I decided to come with them...(the fact that I had a long hard look at how crap the UK was also helped in my decision!)

While I don't agree AT ALL with doing anything illegal, I understand your desire to move over here...I would suggest doing it the proper legal way though...At least that way you'll know you have every right to be here and won't be looking over your shoulder all the time...Plus you'll have access to medical care and the other community services available...Have a think about it mate...

As for the rest of you...Maybe you shouldn't be so hard on someone that wants to better his own life by living in Australia. Rather than criticising, why don't you all make some positive suggestions so he doesn't resort to illegal means?

Quite apart from the moral position regarding trying to enter illegally, and the fact that a lot of people have invested a lot of time and money to get to Aus, so why should you be any different, I should point out that BE as a site does NOT condone law breaking - either immigration or any other sort..

PS - and yes, its true, DIMA officers do prowl the site from time to time........

Dont some people really P**S you off!!!
Sorry take offense or not but I (like every one here) has spent thousands to do this legally and you just want to cheat your way in.
I sincerely hope that immigration do watch this site and watch out for you.
If you want to go to OZ work at it to get what you want like the rest of us.

No not really, I went through the same as you. Doesn't mean I'd begrudge someone getting in easily, I'd think lucky them and get on with my life as it has nothing to do with me.

It's not like they'd be hurting anyone is it.
