Re: Any journalists/writers/pr folk on here?

When I came over eight years ago I sponsored by a company called Pagemasters as a sub-editor....they have since taken over the world as a sub-hub - most papers outsource all their subbing to them.

Re: How does this salary sound for Sydney?

Does anyone know if the Living Away from Home Allowance still available on the 457? That would mean you pay much less tax and a much better take-home pay

I'll try and do the same. Do you know if they are closing and then reopening, or just staying open?

Re: Point Cook, VIC?

If you're near the train station it's dead easy. I have the timetable in front of me now, and, for example, you can get the express(ish) train which leaves Greensborough at 8.13am, arrives Flinders...

Re: Point Cook, VIC?

We are currently renting in Ivanhoe (north east of Melbourne), but looking to buy. Now, you certainly couldn't buy a three or four bed house around here for less than 500,000, but if you go a few...

Re: what do you love or hate about melbourne?

Re: 12 month holiday visa to 457, can you do it?

I did it when I came over three years ago - however, because the company sponsoring me had not sponsored before, it was a reasonably long process and I had to go home at the end of my WHV to await...

Quite a lot of shops in Melbourne stock shoes with half sizes - not all, but I have bought a few pairs.
