Yes I am paying NI but only £30 a week as opposed to the £300 a week I was paying in Australia. Plus because I have been out of the country and haven't earned 10k yet, I dont pay any tax.

We have now been back in the uk for 6 months now. I now get: child tax credit, working tax credit, child benefit, FREE dental care, yes correct! !!! I don't have to pay a penny. My mrs is getting a crown done for FREE. Help from the government to buy fresh fruit and veg. And help with my rent I am paying for a house for us to stay in. And don't have this "medicare gap" bollocks here. Free doctors. All this help has enabled me to start up my own business. Instead of being in Australia, being entitled to zero, and being ripped off on the tax of 48% in the dollar, for getting my butt out of bed at 4am every day for 55 hrs a week to try and make ends meet. I'm so glad I'm home.

Australia is only good for refugees.

So great to be back now for 1 week. Things have really picked up. Plus so nice to hear the birds singing every day. Aaahhhh bliss. Back to the great traditional pubs.

I won't be returning here. I have a house on the beach in spain, that will be the only place I will run to.

Yeah sorry for the couple bad spelling mistakes and Grammer. I'll turn off the auto fill

I have been many places and have lived in oz for nearly 6 yrs. But enough is enough! ! Had enough of whinging aussies people who don't wear shoes or shirts in supermarkets People out in the streets in pajamas looser drivers crap roads crap pubs crap houses that are freezing in winter expensive .....everything racist people high tax I have to pay pay when you go to the doctor how they bang on about medical insurance million adverts every 10 mins on tv radios that play the same music day in day out asshole cops just looking to make revenue flies This country is 30 yrs behind the rest of the world corrupt government alcoholed fuel violence the poor level of English spoken bad language No history that pointless AFL Bad loosers in sports I have met many great people here. But for me the bad points out way the good.
