Re: Is GBP gaining or going in a hole against AUD?

You're entitled to your opinion just like I'm entitled to think that it is one of fantasy. You're not going to convince me of the benefits of the European experiment.

They are crazy not applying for citizenship before they go (assuming they qualify) as their right to return on the visa will expire. They may qualify for an RRV but that will also expire in the...

Re: Which Super Fund is good in Australia?

Fair point. Not sure it should be available to everyone though. It would be very easy to lose the whole lot and therefore defeat the object of having super. A dangerous game.

Re: Recruitment agencies in Perth

Yes true. Either way I think we're all agreed that they shouldn't ask for the financial details without a job offer on the table. So she should go and tell them to get stuffed. :)
