doing a geographical

I'm eligible. Anyway back to the original topic, anybody know the citizenship timeframe in Brisbane? Cheers

Hi, Just about to submit my application for citizenship in Brisbane... Does anybody have any idea of the timeframe for it? Many thanks :biggrin:

Probably

Well, yes they could. But that would be an arrest.

Or if they'd filled their quota for the day :laugh:

Fair enough, but if you read the post you would have seen that I was asking if they have the power to arrest you if you refuse to give details, and would they?

How's the view up on that high horse? And why are you making the assumption that it was me I'm talking about and not my friend? Yes the cops are the good guys right?? And 350 bucks for talking on a phone while riding through a park is okay?? Get real!

I don't think they do! Unless you're under arrest you could refuse to go to the station with them. What are they going to do, drag you there??

Ok but is there a trick to get out of these disproportionate fines?

My agent was also really terrible. They were slow and on some areas and seemed to have a really bad rapport with the skills assessing body. In some areas I had more knowledge them the agent, which didn't reflect on them well at the rates they were trying to charge. Luckily I pulled out early at the TRA stage before the agent could drag the application's feet any longer. It certainly won't be detrimental to the application or your chances. ps Hi lebourvellec it's been a while!

Hi, A friend got fined $350.00 for talking on a phone while cycling really slowly through a PARK! I want to settle a debate with another friend. I'm wondering, if you refuse to give the ID or tell them your details when they try to fine you, do they have the power to arrest you? And would they bother? I'd want to know under which law it is that you are obliged to tell them your name or give them ID. My mate recons they would just arrest you and you'd get in further trouble. Any thoughts??

I've informed the ATO about the superannuation, Fair Work Ombudsman (who couldn't do much), the 457 monitoring department. I plan to take them to tribunal within 2 months. Is there any other government agencies/funds to help me??? Not GEERS because the business is still trading. Thanks in advance!

There are ways to offset tax and legally avoid tax, just like there is back home. A lot of it involves real estate over here, I don't really know much more than that.

I'm a young single guy and I still wouldn't want to do it. I was trying to get in a while ago, but barely even got a response. They're supposedly "desperate" for chefs in the mines, and I have good experience. It works out at 30-40% more than I would get in a city, plus you save a load of money on food and general living expenses.. But for me it still wouldn't be worth it. I'd go stir crazy :laugh:

I'm a British Citizen, England is my home, lucky for me its not your decision or your concern what I might pay for medical treatments if I go back there. Good day madam
