Have you thought of going to the Ato and telling them they made a change to your account without your authorisation and that they must pay to the original nominated account, then they can chase your "friend". He may not be so smug then.

If you look at the definition of dual for UK, NZ and Australia, it means "more than one" , not two.

Ford and Holden are gone! A year ago they would have been there but with the factory closures and pooof! Still Merc and BMW are expensive motors.

This is a bad time of the year for making predictions as to how long a visa will take. The Australian government works on a 1 July to 30 June basis. It also has a quota for the number of visas it will issue. So if they are behind the quotathey process them like crazy to get to the quota. If they are ahead of the quota, or if the quota looks like no problem they may delay the issuing of visas at this time of the year and may delay to the 2015 year. My understanding is that the quota will be easily achieved, so there may well be delay in the issuing of visas at the moment.

What you are proposing is fraud. The offense will be committed on the Australian Federal government which may result in a prison term with subsequent deportation. Your daughters in Australia may also be in trouble, as they may have assisted you in providing false information on your application.They may also be deported for such an offense.

Apply for citizenship, they'll soon tell you

What it does do is make it easier for the Australian government to withdraw a visa after it has been issued. If you've been naughty all they have to do is grab your form 80, examine it a lot more closely, find a discrepancy and withdraw the visa.

Everybody has to activate

Some countries like Germany and Singapore make you relinquish their citizenships when you become a citizen of another country. No idea if this applies to OP

For both UK resident and non-resident owners, VAT will always need to be considered. As a general rule, VAT does not need to be (indeed cannot be) charged on rents to residential tenants. The downside of this is that a residential landlord cannot recover any of its associated VAT costs. However, if any works are to be carried out at a UK property, the UK “zero” and “reduced rates” should be considered carefully as they may reduce the VAT costs incurred (and may allow certain VAT costs to be recovered). Not sure if you are a residential or commercial landlord

It's pretty bad when citizens have less rights than EU nationals

If I was a customs officer I'd confiscate it and eat it after you had gone lol

Your last will and testament is also a good document

These people are effectively mercenaries
