I think (?) I heard that of you were 'looking for work' then you could be eligible....whatever that means...

My daughter was using her inhaler every night in the UK for her breathing and we had to rub cream on after her bath. Since coming here haven't used a thing! Hopefully you'll experience an improvement too? I stocked up on some extra inhalers before we came here - just told doc we were moving and got a couple more. Didn't bother with the cream as we had loads anyway.

For those moving to Sydney - come join our FB group - Moving to Sydney 2013 - where you'll meet others making the move (and those already here) to share stories and experience.... Sorry for plug....!! We're here on 457 visas (and a family) and no complaints so far. It was an easier, quicker and cheaper route for us. Not sure about PR yet....

Sharing information between depts? Now that is novel.

So could it be that Rudd didn't stand as he feels Labor can't win the election whoever is leader, he gets some credibility as being a decent bloke sticking to his word (?), labor lose the election triggering Gillard to resign or another leadership ballot, he stands, wins and then has time to form a better proposition for the next election?

This is what I don't get. Stand and win and that should be the end of it. Not stand and there are still doubts over Gillard. How on earth can you spin this into something positive??

But in most 'normal' positions if you were accused of doing something criminal in work like this, then you'd be suspended at least....decent thing to do would be resign....as Chris Hulme did I recall (although perhaps not soon enough).

So Rudd has just made a statement that he's not running. Excitement over then?

I guess I'm still green here so finding it quite interesting. Only a few minutes before the ballot and there is still only one person to vote for.

If the figures in northshorepom's post are true then it's hardly women's mag stuff tbh...

So, who is your money on? As of 15 mins ago there was still no news about Rudd... But have now had to put kids tv on so unable to keep up. If he comes forward then sounds like it'll be close. If he doesn't then it's a waste of a day I guess...

Oh my God! We really shouldn't complain about our politicians back home...?!

I do wonder how a party can think the public will consider them credible when they keep changing their leader (and the PM) but then this doesn't seem like an unusual occurrence.

I'm new to Oz - how so?
