Re: 457s will have to pay for their kids education in WA.....

What is the real cost of education in WA? I'd venture to say it is a lot higher than $4,000/year. 457 Visa holders are only in the country on a temporary basis. When they leave they will be taking...

Re: September 7, 2013

Re: Most overrated tourist attraction ?

Hands down: Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium in Auckland - it is small, overpriced, and unexciting. When you leave you find yourself laughing at how much you paid and how little you saw. How bad is...

Re: How can you watch UK TV on your computer for Free in Australia?

The thing to remember about most torrents is that, unless you are using a private tracking site, the anti-piracy police will be watching you. Think I'm joking? Download a copy of PeerBlock...

Re: Using an agent and communicating with the DIAC.

Not sure it is supposed to work this way I have read comments from a number of people using agents who have contacted their case officer directly - usually towards the end of the visa process. In...

Re: I am willing to be wrong, could someone help.

Applying for state sponsorship with no intention to ever live there would mean lying on their application which is against the rules. That being said, the ability of either the state or DIAC to know...

Re: I am willing to be wrong, could someone help.
