Re: Citizenship by Birth in Australia
I was just trying to be short.
By validation I meant the whole cost of the validation trip (and not only the airline tickets which cost around 30% of the total cost), including the hotel reservations, transportation, food, entertainment, etc. No one asked me for "validation fees" as such.

Currently, one have to provide enough evidences before he/she can claim any benefit. For example, just to have a TFN, you have to have a residential address to where your TFN letter will be mailed to.

Are you sure? I doubt this is true. May be that was in the past. The government is now very smart, they get smart by experience. They won't let someone live oversees and claim the benefits, and that should annoy no one.

If you're just visiting, then you are probably not eligible for Medicare either. Do you have a Medicare card?

You need to be living in Australia to claim the "baby bonus" (although you can claim up to 1 year after the birth of the child, if you move to Australia later on).

Re: Citizenship by Birth in Australia
whilst i think everyone should be entitled to claim genuine entitlements, I also think anyone found to be rorting Australian benefits ought to be unceremoniously kicked out of the country with family spongers closely behind them
I hope Australia learns from the UK carry on
