Re: PSS/Chess Removals - review

Re: Return to the UK

We are far from wealthy, but I think you may be partly right on that score. The poorer the standard of living you leave behind the more readily you'll accept what Aus has to offer. Speak to...

Re: Licences for Carpenters

ABN is Australian Business Number.

Carpenters are definitely licensed in Qld and NSW, and definitely not licensed in WA. Don't know about the other states.

Re: Do any of you go Horse Riding in Oz?

Hi,

I'll try to be as objective as possible in giving you the run-down on horses in Aus. Obviously Aus is so big that different regions have different pros and cons, and also as riders we all...

Re: wanaroo / jondaloop area's Perth

If by 'reasonable' you mean reasonably priced, beware - cheap property is cheap for good reason. Either in a rough area, facing the wrong way, or missing out on the sea breezes so they suffer the...

Re: Time to go

Damn!! I hope this doesn't mean you won't be posting on the Aus forum again. You're one of the sensible balanced ones who sees life in true colours and tells it as it is fair and square.

Good on you Scorpio1. That's a good truthful "tell-it-as-it-is" post. I take it your rose-tints are smashed into 1000 pieces by now.

Re: Building setbacks

You never know, you might get lucky with your appeal, but I'd say most councils would be reluctant to open the flood gates. If they say 'no' you have 2 choices here:

Re: Employment with Education Queensland

Hi,
Yes, it's a really frustrating system here. Even when you get a permanent job they'll probably want you on 1 year's probation followed by a 2nd year probation before you get a confirmed...

Re: UK Family allowance

UK Child Benefit stops 12 weeks after you leave the UK.
