With Rising Rental Costs And Food Costs Soaring ,plus Because We Are Non Resident I Pay A Higher Tax Which Is A Nightmare.
Wether We Can Last Out The Course Because Of The Finance Problems We Will Just Have To See
Check whether you are being correctly taxed as a non resident - if you are living in Australia I can see a case for contending that you are tax resident in Australia.

You can be tax resident as the holder of a long term temporary residency visa ...

Best regards.
