Well I can understand that in a very selfish piont of view. Its like when you get on a Long haul flight and have a row of 4 seats extra to yourself. You really want the flight to lock doors and take off in the next 10 seconds. Giving you all that space.

Sadly ignoring the fact the lack of people on the flight will get the return leg cancelled and you stuck high and dry in some kip of an airport.

Has anyone else noticed the "the grip master" seems to create these threads and then never has anything else to say on them.

PR - in medical terms is per rectum!

What about Private Relations ?

Excellent! I wonder how much George Michael pays, PR?

All relations should be stopped. Both private and public. Nobody needs to be having relations.

Getting away from relations was one of our motives for moving here.

PR=Permanent Residency

This poll is intended to find out how the people see foreigners coming to Australia. Julia Gillard is a foreigner herself.

@steve`o
2 thumbs up! Yes, I am an immigrant myself. And I entered Australia after getting PR (offshore application). And a very premature conclusion of what my intentions are.

@hollykimalan
Wow! People googling my handle. I am in the limelight now!

@Zambia
Another premature comment. In life, there is always a victim. The reason you have a job is the exact reason why another person is unemployed.

@mandymcqueen
Yes. And now I have proved you are wrong. :P

And now, my story...

I moved here on PR visa last year. The reason I left my country to sell my skills to another country was because I wanted a better standard of living. More and more people are arriving here (as refugees, migrants, students who have the intention of applying for PR on fake professions, the list continues) but I don't see any comparative expansion in infrastructure. The transport system is getting chaotic and soon other things will follow. It seems things are getting exactly similar to my country of origin, where the same problems exist, the reason I left.

As long as there is enough resources to support the increasing number of people, I would vote yes for PR. Also, I have come across many unqualified people who somehow managed to get PR, they don't deserve it. If they can't contribute, they are worse than cancer in the society.

Lastly, what I would like to say is, the rules for getting PR is exploitable, and many unqualified people are exploiting these to get an entry. And this really pisses me off. Rules should be made more stringent and more background checks should be made.

What are you basing this comment on?
It took me three years, a load of cash and a handfull of hoops to jump through to get my PR.

And why are you so angry about it?
Would you have exploited it if needed to get your 'foot in the door'? I would have

Are you Gordon McQueens daughter?

So how about we take away the PR of anyone who arrived within the last 2 years? That would solve some of the problems.

I'd miss out by 20 days, ouch. Just as I was settling in too.

I think the poll's suggestion is outrageous and silly. Lots of people live on Puerto Rico. What are they going to do if we stop PR? And where is Bacardi going to come from?
So basically what you're saying is that everything was working fine until you showed up?

Did you find a large variety of exotic hand-crafted leather pre-wrapped golf grips and golf head covers?

People do what people do.....can you honestly say that given no other option and was facing loss of PR you would not find some other way to 'bend a rule' or 'exploit the system' to ensure that you got what YOU wanted?
I know I would!!! No way I would go,
"No its ok, I have gone all this way through the process and yes you are right, my IELTS score was too low (complete as you see fit!!), I give up unreservedly and will discontinue this...oh....what....If I do what I can get PR?? How dare you sir, I am British and I play by the rules and ...where are all those people in that queue going????"
