It's a No Brainer Really When you say you love your Husband? Your Place and Your Kids place, Are With Him. Your First Loyalty is with him and His Kids with you.

Nobody i have ever known in the last 32years i have lived here, have ever told the truth on how much they earn.It's i government questionnaire to see what cuts they can make.It's big brother looking at what they can save,and how much more they can screw you for.This conservative Government Wants to Go the American way on health. User pays,already on the Sunshine Coast it's hard to find a medical practice that will bulk bill.Aged pensions don't stand a chance of getting into hospital without being put on a lengthy waiting list.Thousands are Dying Waiting even to get to see a Specialist.I waited 5 years to get a pallet for a few teeth made.Because there is such a long waiting list in public Hospital to get a tooth pulled. I had to Pay $400 3 weeks ago to get one out privately.Hard to Believe But a lot of Battlers just pull their own teeth out.And Stick their Broken False teeth with Super clue. Now My Wife and i Have to have Cataracts done there's a 7 year wait, or pay $6000 per eye in a private hospital.It's out of the Question now to grow old in Australia.Unless you are pretty well off.Or you never get sick.We have Been Lucky We have,always been healthy,up until now.I'm 78 my wife 75.The Brits don't know how lucky they are,Free Medication over 60 years Old. The Labour Party Tried to get Free Medication for Over 75 year olds here, about 15 years ago. The Liberals Thought they Had gone Completely Mad,and Fell off their chairs Laughing.Yet They Gave $5000 To Every Female that had a Baby.Creating A generation of Girls as young as 13 having babies for a free life, free house, and plenty to spend on booze and drugs..Most now have 4-5 kids and only 20 years old,from different men, and never worked a day in their Miserable Lives.The Lucky Country! It's a Myth.

We have Lived In Queensland for 32 years,Forget the Spiders the mozzies etc,Although we think it's a Must to wear Sun Screen,and Insect Repellent You Will Mind The Heat here,unless you are a android.Because Some Years It's Oppressive.and goes on and on.Night and Day.But Apart from that There Are a lot More Negatives Coming to Australia at this point in time.It's fine for people that are set up here,with a good job,and their house paid for.I see People on Here saying Don't listen to the doom and gloomers.We have been here X amount of years and it's great.For Some It Is. For Others It's a living Nightmare.I have warned my Relatives Not To just sell up and move here.Come over By all means,But get a Job first.And see how it goes.Now Is The Worst Time to come to Australia.It's been on the News about Australia's economy,It's heading for recession.They Said This Morning WA is heading for deep Depression,Qld is Already in Recession.The Places You have Picked Were You Want To Live ,Are Probaly the most expensive places to go to.Starting Off u need to go to the cheapest.And that Would Be Beenleigh.Eagleby,Waterford,Logan Lea.All arround That Area. It's working class area.There's no Train From were you Picked,The Train To Brisbane Starts at Beenleigh and it takes,up to 3 hours to get to Roma Street in the City.The MI which you would use if u went by car, is the most Congested road to Brisbane.it's a Car park at peak hours.Sun Sea and Laid Back people,Is A myth.But Thats for u to find out. As they Say ,It's all up to The Individual.

We live on the Sunshine Coast,have lived in Australia for over 30 years.We Live In Gympie.It's a beautiful place ,green as,lovely scernery and gets good rain fall.It's 2 hours drive to Brisbane CDB.The People must be the friendliest in Australia.Plenty of Shops Etc.You Should maybe Check out Gympie Hospital for a job.Your Partner Being A Personel Trainer,I wouldn't know what the prospects are for that.Houses Here Are Realy Good Value for money,Compared to the Rest of Queensland. We Live Rural all the house on our small street are on half acre blocks. 5 minute drive to local shops, and 10 min to Town. We have two dogs,we shipped them over with PetAir .Who Were Really Good.Our daughter used to do Agility.With her Collies,She used to Breed them, she's into Sheep Herding,has classes to train dogs.She's also a Judge.Has A Cattery and Breeds Maine Coon Cats.And has 58 Sheep.Hope all Goes Well Wherever you Go. Zack.

Maybe for you but that doesn't go for everyone! My Neighbour Is Having A Nightmare. The Older You Get the Worse it Gets In Australia.The Only Country I have Ever Lived in,That Classes It's Aged that are not Self Funded as a burden. This Coalition Government is 10times worse than the Tories in the UK.The Health Service is Third World,The TV,Mobile Phone Service,the new NBN in Queensland Sunshine coast.Is 3rd world.Bulk Billing gone, just to get to see a doctor costs $110 before priscribtions or any tests or Xrays.The Elderly are Dying waiting years on waiting lists.We have Just been told to Pay $6000 each eye,to get our cateracts done,or wait 5 years.

We Took Two Dogs Back,It Cost $3200 All in,Fees at Heathrow Jabs,Grates Everything. Don't go with Dogtainers,JetPets .The Big carriers charge double,but by the time you go back it's anyone's guess what the cost will be in 2 years time.

Skippy accepts Australian Discounts as long as you have paper work.

Well we voted to leave like millions of other Patriotic Brits.Including our Serving Armed Forces and veterans. Britain was Much Better off before we joined the EU,and will be very much better off now that we have left.The Worlds Most Corrupt,Protectionist, Full of rules and Regulated Organisation the World has ever known.Accountable to nobody,but themselves. Apart from their Lavish Salaries and Allowances MEP's have their own tax system. set at 8%.I have two members of my family in the UK in Their Own Business.One has a Bakery the oither a Btdhes shop.They Told me Belonging to the EU is A nightmare. The Bakery has to abide by 134 Rules and regulations,before they can sell a loaf of bread. The Butcher's Shop over 350. The Only People That Will loose are the very wealthy ,and those receiving EU Bonuses.All paid By the British Tax Payers Anyhow. Normal People are not going to pay a high Price at all,A Cosmetic Win You Say. I think Being Able to govern Your Own Country ,have control on your own Armed Forces,Police Force,Ect is More than A cosmetic Gain? It won't take Years at all,to be better off. The IMF Chief Says the EU is on the Brink of Collapse.France And Germany Say Trade Between Britain Won't change.There's only 6 solvent Countries in the EU,And they want out.The Whingeing Remain Traitors ,Students and EU Citizens that Live and Work in Britain,The Younger Generation ,That won't work anyhow ect. Never Bothered to Vote.Well I'm Going Back And have Made $50,000 Already with the pound Falling. Which is Good for the British Economy.They Have Been Reducing Interest Rates to nearly Zero to get the Pound Devalued. So Brexit = Jobs and Growth. According to the Experts.Most on here have never lived in a EU FREE Britain So how Can they Keep on Whingeing,About Something they know nothing about? There's no Price On Having and Running Your Own Country .Hundreds Of Thousands Of Brits Gave Up Their Lives For Britain. But the Younger Whingers and Scaremongers Don't give a ****.About that. They are A National Disgrace.

Well You Should!.Pauline knows whats going on.And says What she sees.Other Politicians haven't the guts,she also spent Time in The Uk. Now that's a EYE OPENER. The Change In the UK in 30 years Is Catastrophic.I was in Shocked to the core, when we visited family and Friends In London,Burnley And Bradford. 82% of The Population Is Curtain People(Muslims) there's more Muslims there than The Whole Of Bahrain. London and NW London. Is a Shocker,there's more blacks there than Nairobi,Where I Met My Wife in 1957 in Edmonton Its called Shank City now.A police no Go area.How Many More Is there like that i Don't know. Pauline Hanson,Reminds Me Of Enoch Powell. A Tory that Warned Heath And Thatcher What They Would Do to Britain If they Joined the EU.And didn't stop Immigration into Britain.The Open Door Policy Would Be a Disaster. But the Tories Were Obsessed with Smashing the Unions And Bringing in Cheap EU Labour. Back Home When i was was there 2 years ago, My Life Long Friends Would Say Sitting in the club or pup having a pint.It's just as well The North East is A Depressed Area, No Immigrants Like the Midlands and the South. Most of You on Here Don't know any Different. Many Of You are From Multiracial Parts of the UK And A Lot from London.I thought The Press Gave Pauline A real Hard Time. She Says What Most Australians Think.And It's all true. Those with their Head in the Sand about Immigration don't Care They are Not Patriotic. Australia is very Patriotic And has Already Had Race Riots With Muslims,Personally We Left The Uk in 1973 Because we Could See what was Happening,but It's Worse than Even Enoch Powell Predicted. Beautiful Northumberland is still Untouched thank god.One Day To Rest My Bones.And Thank God For Brexit. The Patriotic People In the UK. Have Done The Remian Traitors a Favour,But they Don't Know it. The People In London That Demonstrated poured fake blood on themselves,and had placards saying they weren't British,They were Europeans. Are A National Disgrace. The Students In London Are Not Britain's Future.They Are LOW LIFE. To Think I served 12 years in the army,and good friends,never returned,or were maimed.For Scum Like Those In London Sickens Me And My Family. I hope one Day they get whats coming to them.

Well It's never going to be a better time to go back now.With The Exchange Rate being in Your Favour. We have been in Australia a long time. And the Economic signs for Australia's future looks Grim.They Relied Too much on the Mining boom,Never Diversified and now they are Broke.There's no work,20% are unemployed in QLD.And Spending like Drunken Sailors. The Worst Spend Being $448 Billion on Obsolete Diesel Powered Submarines.They have gone down that Path of Disaster with The Collins Class Submarines.That Have to have Billions spent on them to get them Operational.They are saying that 5 million Jobs will disappear in the next 5-10 years.Out of a Workforce of 15 million.I think that says it All. We can't even afford to get our Cataracts Done there's a waiting list for 6 years.or pay $12000 Each in a Private Hospital.

There is Not One Tory, That Can Sort this Mess Out. They put the British People in it. The Tories Are in a worse mess than Labour.Traitors the whole lot of them.Any Political Partythat Doesn't want to Govern it's own county, it's people,it's Armed Forced And Police. Is a Waste Of Space.Are Unpatriotic.And Traitors. Have no respect for the men and women,that fought and died for,the Once Great Britain.You Seem to Think Thatcher The Tyrant was some sort of Hero? She was the Worst Of All Tories. She Destroyed Britain's Heavy Industries and Manufacturing.Took A AXE to our Armed ForcesScrappingg Whole Regiments, Good Navy Ships Were Two Abreast in line,Excellentt Troop Carries the Same,Submarines 3 Abreast In LineAll Gettingg Scrappedd. Orders from Thatches Masters in Brussels.Thatcher put tens of thousands out of work,and out of themilitaryy.Britain was never the same. to this day.Thatcherr was kicked out of office in disgrace,by her own party.But it was far too late,she had crippled Britain for Ever,Nigel Farage and the UKIP should be put in as a caretaker government. Farage should see to the negotiationss for the final exit.

Depends where you live, you live in the City of Brisbane,there's a bus service.Live outside of Brisbane and theres No Bus service At ALL. Infact there isn't even any town water.Thousands still have Tank water and rely on the rain,for their water supply.Everything In Australia is reflected on What Cities have.Outside the Cities there isn't a reliable mobile phone network,The TV keeps dropping out no signal,and the new NBN is no better than the Wifi we had just twice the cost. When i lived in the North East. i could catch a bus or train anywhere in the UK.In fact i worked on the National Express.

Oh Dear You will have upset all those that have their Rose tinted glasses ,super clued to their face. One Couple have just got their Australian Citizenship.And they say,they feel so different. it's such a wonderful feeling. This One Takes the Cake!

What A great Letter,You Should Be Congratulated. Most Migrants From The UK .Think Australian Houses are so wonderful,With sea views and a olympic swimming pool. That's what most write about on here. Just Been Reading a blog from a couple in Perth.the have a Huge House On the Beach,And 2 investment Properties. They are Both Nurses,and have been here 2 years.

I was looking at a tape i had a while ago. Of poms being interviewed by Peter Fitzsimmons .A Anti Pom and Republican Aussie. You want to see it. if you want to get a distorted view of the UK. Fitzsimmons is interviewing this couple that live in Qld.And Moving Back To the Uk.And he wants to Know Why. First He Shows Two of Qld Most Beautiful Beaches.Then Compares them,with Two deserted Beaches in the UK.In winter, with Snow on the Pepples.Then asks the Couple Why would u want to Leave Qld for that? Then He Shows a Beautiful tree lined street in one of the best streets in Brisbane,Beautiful detached Houses,manicured lawn etc.Then he shows a Terraced Street in the Uk with Scrap Cars,Kids Jumping Around in them and graffiti everywhere.A bit of land at the end of the street like a bomb site.Then Asks the Couple and you want to move back to the uk to that.These Comparisons go on for Half and hour,of all the best about Qld and all the worst about the UK. And this is what most Aussie's think the UK is Like?Even our Long time Aussie friends Said To Me,You have no lovely open spaces,Or Beaches In England Have You? It's all Terraced Houses and Concrete.She didn't even believe The TV Show from the UK. Move to the Country,was real.Australia is so overrated.and the Uk so underrated I come From A Beautiful part.1 hour from The Lake District.There's nothing to compare,in Queensland.Even My Local Pub,There's no pubs in Australia to compare.or to the Character of the people.The Want to be Aussies have a different view.Just been reading a blog on hear by a couple of silly poms,that have just got their Aussie citizenship.They say they Feel So Different Now,And So Australian ??I've been hear 40 years,and i was told when i arrived,there's always a line drawn in the sand between Aussies and Poms.And it's so true.

You will Find It Hard finding work in any capacity in and Around Brisbane.At this point in time. Queensland has the highest proportion of unemployment in the country.Lets not beat about the bush here.Where we live in Queensland,the Government has just announced it's going to give the area a pittance boast of $20 Million to the area.where there a 20% unemployed. And that's common all over Queensland.But If you don't mind doing anything.Buy a small 1-2 or 3 ton truck,you can drive that on a car liecence. Download The Courier Mail Job Vacancies. Owner Drivers Wanted.There's All types of companies advertising for owner drivers,with different types of vehicles.And you'll see some vacancies. As long as you can read a UBD map Of Brisbane you can earn about $1500 a week.My son Did when he came over from NZ for 9 months.Then if you get a job in your own field, you can sell the little truck/ute with the work.Good Luck.

We Are going back to the UK. We Need a Leave vote.The Reserve Bank in the UK Couldn't get the pound down,buy lowering interest rates to 0.5%.And now they are whingeing that the OUT vote Will lower the pound. Low Pound =More Jobs and Growth. They are always Whingeing Here about the High Dollar. Killing Exports.I hope the Pound Plummets. Good for me and the Country. It's not at all a vote against immigration.But it is BAD. The vote is about The British Getting their Country Back. About Sovereignty,Being in control of your own borders,Having your own rules and regulations.Even your own Armed Forces Now. The EU is Corrupt from top to bottom.Accountable to nobody but themselves. Downloading Brexit i see THE EU Parliament Have 100s of officials.That only concentrate on More Rules and Regulations each month. For Instance a Bakery in the UK has to abide by 134 EU rules before it can sell a loaf of bread.A Butchers Shop has over 350.The EU Parliament is paid enormous salaries.and only pay 8% tax And you want a Remain Vote????? Think about others that have to Live with A corrupt EU Man! How you seem to think being forced to let 300,000 EU Immigrants +1000's of refugees into Britain is good. is beyond the pale.

Of Course u do. You think your a cut above the working class.

What about when you Go to a bank like the HBSC and have too have to be interviewed by some little snoty kid.to find out what you want.Then Sit For An hour,with cap in hand Untill some Other Snoty Kid Asked you Silly Qestions Wether Of Not You have proof who you are,to add your name to your wifes bank account.And Then Get Refused As your Passport and Drivers Liecence is Not Proof Enough.You Need A Utility Bill. I can Tell You We Had 250,000 Pounds In the Account as My Wife Went to the UK 2 weeks before i did.I went to Lloyds and opened a account,With No Problem.Went Back to he HSBC and Told them We wanted to Close the Account And Wanted it All in Cash.What a Fuss they made of us,The Prick of A bank manager said there's no Problem, We can put your name on your wifes account.No Problem.You can immages what i said. Then Going To the Doctors. I was 5 minutes late to get a flue jab. They Refused To Give Me One,As i Had Missed My Appointment Time,And Had To Make Another Appointment A week Later. The Urgery Was Empty But the Bitch of A nurse Still refused to Give me The Flue Jab.That Was Just Two Of Many Instances.The Water Charges they wanted to charge me were ridiculous.If you don't get wise to them.They try to charge u by the post code.The Biggest Rip off ever,Then British Gas,They don't even bother to read metres.The Biggest Upset to me at the Time Was Applying for A free TV licence.It's a criminal offence not to have one,And they were going to arrest me. Until I proved i Had Sent Them My Insurance Number And a photoCopy Of My Passport. It's not Funny mate It's some little stuck up pilics that think they are better,And need to be Brought Down to Earth.

I must have said it a thousand times.Nobody can tell you what the best thing is to do.It's all down to you.Nobody wants to ruin the chance of you having a great life in Australia.And nobody wants to see you loose a great job,what you already have. So many people are going back to the UK.All for their own reasons.Australia is on a downward Spiral.I have been Here for 37 years,This would be the Worst time to come to Australia.I've seen people here being put out of work, and loosing everthing,walking around with Placards at roundabout,and on the side of the road saying Please Give Me A job.The Last Time things were really hard here,The Mining Boom Came Along And Saved The Day.That was 20 years ago.I don't think another mining boom will come along this time around.Where I live in Qld 40% are out of work.Don't think it's much better down south,There's nothing Happening thousan dsare on part time work.And it's so expensive ,the cash you have will soon go.If you can't find work.My One Liner has always Been.If you are Happy,Have a Good Job And Your Own House.Don't risk it all, to come to Australia,For a adventure.At your Age. If you were 20 sure.We were Bullet Proof then.

Just Been Reading Depti72 .I thought it was Me Your So Right. Yeah I did go back,But As you know i let Little thing get me down.Looking Back I know Now What Happened. I was So Used with Australia,and how easy going it was.The NANNY State.Where as in England It's not easy.The Class Structure Hits you in the Face,And you get a Shock.At least I Did,I used to say all the Time.I'm not putting up with this ****. My life long friends used to always say,It'll take time,yo get use to it.They were right,but i was by then looking for any excuse to come back.What a Mug I was. We have decided to go back again.We live in a great place,and the people here are really nice people.But It's not home.I just can't settle here, i Don't belong,no matter how hard i try.There was never a truer saying.Home is where your heart is.And thats Geordie Land

There's not really a answer to your question.Some People have greater bonding to their families and friends than others do. If you think this place Australia has been fantastic to you. You are wasting your time an d money selling up and going back.You can't have your cake and eat it. A holiday is your best shot.

Never heard of that before? Why are so many people dying in the UK?Is that compared to where? It's probably the same asked in Australia. Why has Australia got the highest suicide rate in the world? Plus Why do Australian Males Batter their partners to death.At the rate of 49 women p/m. Many blame Their connection to drinking so much alcohol.It's part of Australia's culture.So how do you break that?

Your as old as you feel.We are returning to the Uk.I'm 78 and my wife is 75. We have decided we can't afford to live in Australia.As far as Health Care Goes, you are better off in the Uk,the older you get the more your health deteriorates.The Health care in Australia isn't as good as the UK.Plus it's a fact that aged people are dying in Australia waiting on long long waiting lists.It's a long wait even to see a specialist. I was told when i went to the Dentists,that i should get a pallet made.But the wait was 5 years.I was lucky i only waited 4 years.Now my wife and i have to have our cateracts done,There's a waiting list of 7 years,or pay $6000 for each eye,we may be both dead by then.Friends in the UK ,say come back and get it done for free in 6 weeks,another friend has just had a hip replaced for free, very little waiting time.We arrived in Australia in 1986,it's gone on a steady down hill trend. Now that the mining boom is over,Things here are going to get really bad.The Liberals wasted the Countries wealth,they never diversified. Now they are borrowing $100 million a day to stay afloat.And Spending like drunken Sailors.What on Earth do the Liberals want to Spend $448 Billion On Submarines and a few boats for?They could never defend Australia.Besides who wants it? When the Housing Market crashes here,it will be Armageddon.It's time to go before the $ crashes.

Surely The British People Couldn't be so Stupid. To Vote in That Tory Clown in as PM. In my view i think the Conservative Party,The Labour Party and The Lib/Dems. Should be banished from ever holding office again.Britain needs a new start,Decades of the big three have been a disaster.The UKIP should be given a chance. Nigel Farage seems to say what the Majority are thinking and is anti EU. I read the British Newspapers,online everyday.By what i am reading is. David Cameron,is the Most Hated male PM in British History,WEAK completely out of touch with reality with the majority of British people.Some say he should be jailed for Treason. A Eu Fanatic that is on equal footing with The Tyrant Thatcher another Tory EU fanatic.That destroyed Britain's Industries and Manufacturing to smash the Unions,and appease her beloved EU Thatcher was finaly kicked out of office by her own cabinet.In Disgrace. The EU is Most Corrupt Organisation on the planet. Download Brexit The Movie on Google. The Tories Joined the EU for Cheap Labour,And to make the rich richer. But it all went Sour, The Tories Didn't count on the Millions of EU Migrants Flooding into Britain.And being able to blunder the British Welfare system.Paid For by it's people. Now being handed out for free. The strain on the NHS,and the whole British way of life has been a disaster.Whole town s in the Midlands are 98% Muslim. London and its suburbs is a Multicultural Cesspit.I see on Q@A on Monday night the New Muslim Mayor of London won the election through Islamic factions,And if the Muslim Mayor doesn't do what they want.There will be trouble In London. The Tories have failed to grasp the art of Government ,They Failed to control our Borders,and had a open Door Policy.Being A EU Member Country.What they should never have signed up to Cameron said in 2009. If he was PM He would Scrap Britain's humane Rights Laws He Never Did,Another catastrophic BLUNDER.as well as paying every economic Migrant and refugee Full benefits and pensions,they never paid into. Other Countries in the EU don't.
