<p><p>Hi Chris,</p></p>
<p><p>Just thought I'd send you a quick message. I'm in a very similar situation as you regarding the possible sale of my UK property and the uncertainty regarding capital gains tax. Currently I am on a 457 visa but am thinking of applying for permanent residency. I have only held off on doing this because I wasn't sure how it affects future capital gains tax, rental income from our uk property etc. Like you I'm researching a lot of this myself but I'm finding its a myriad of regulations etc. Anyway I thought it might be good to stay in touch and swap any key pieces of info that we uncover as we look into this.</p></p>
<p><p>Thanks</p></p>

<p><p>PS I agree that Brisbane is the best city in Oz - I've been here for 2.5 years and love it.</p></p>

I agree about the citizenship. It makes a mockery of the system the way they did that. The aussies should make them burn their uk passports if they become citizens. ...I agree with what they said about the sausages tho...they are no walls or richmonds

It doesn't surprise me that the programme made the poms out in a negative light. Even the shots of the UK showed a power station belching out smoke and then cut to a view of a pristine beach in OZ. To compare like with like they should have shown the layer of smog that sits over Mt Isa or a junkie shooting up at kings cross. Also they fail to mention that many of the poms that return home always intended to anyway such as temporary workers and the like and not because of some misguided illusion about oz and how that failed to materialise. Anyway most aussies I know don't take these programmes seriously (60 minutes, today tonight etc) and just see them as sensationalist. (I saw a trailer for one the other week about how china is buying up land in oz and graphic was putting chinese flags all over Oz). Its just trash tv at the end of the day
