  1. Need to push through with any 457 application as the government is looking to condense qualification although may or may not happen of course http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/457-occupation-list-to-be-condensed-says-immigration-minister-peter-dutton-20161120-gst9wg.html
  2. Better hurry up as the government is looking at restricting 457 visas according this http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/457-occupation-list-to-be-condensed-says-immigration-minister-peter-dutton-20161120-gst9wg.html
  3. The individual has been charged now anyway and for sure sounds like an obsession based crime. As for the arabic chant so many people these days seem to want to hear what they want to hear and maybe not what was actually said. Even if what was said was actually said does not mean a common phrase in the arab or islamic world makes everyone there a terrorist and if said in this case more likely said for effect, although none of us here were there so these are just opinions much like the press reports.
  4. listing foodbanks, homeless , economic inequality issues are not unique to the UK, you could be describing many so called first world countries even the US where these things exist as well. As for the curtsey thing I would think it makes no odds to the queen whether people do or do not unlike the very old days when a period in the Tower of London or maybe lose your head if you didnt show respect to the Monarch. As shown in the photo actually performing a curtsey is not an easy thing to do elegantly anyway versus a simple bowing of the head.
  5. Well seems Thomas Cook are charging more to change than if Emirates direct where would be 300 pounds to change a business class seat booking. Unfortunate as once ticketed not much can do although on Emirates assuming is the saver fare although sounds expensive still seems good value for business class and Emirates worth the money plus little if no difference in fare for the dates on the Emirates site. Could be worse as BA are non changeable non refundable even business class, at least the lower cost bus class.
  6. Will need to deplane in Singapore as well of course but after 13-14 hrs you will be glad to get off for a while. Luggage will be checked all way through.
  7. irony is that Scotland voted for something David Cameron supported.
  8. A long shot but ever thought of NZ ? Apart from Auckland property can be reasonable.
  9. Plus of course if you split the 30 kg into 2 bags the weight of each bag itself eats into that 30 kg plus fact that checkin may not combine passengers allowances even if 2 travelling together so not 3x20=60 for example. Depends on the checkin and airline. To remove any doubts just call the airline as some do some dont but most dont seem to advertise fact other than max weight per case for health and safety reasons for the luggage handlers.
  10. Gold Coast being a big vacation destination especially Surfers atttracts a big transient population of tourists with all that brings good and bad, the latter the TV shows focus on else would be even more boring day time TV. Behind all the glossy high rises and hotels there are plenty of 'normal' places real people live some good some bad same as anywhere. And as Lady R says look at schools in areas as that can be a useful benchmark
  11. And was April 1st when story was published/ linked to !
  12. So Charles would have been 17 in 1965 only just over consent age and according this biography on Camilla they only met in the early 70s so seems a bit far fetched unless by donation which would be even more far fetched. Maybe claim should be added to the ' i was abducted by aliens' file.
  13. All the info you need is here under 417 visa holder tab including a form link to cancel https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/417- Note says once you cancel you 'may' be able to reapply but for sure says no deferrals of land by date unless is hidden somewhere about exceptions.
  14. So i guess taking this to a logical/illogical conclusion you could say tongue in cheek that all new immigrants are 'invaders' although maybe not as they are being invited in and Cook was not.
  15. And i am sure you have seen that for the WHV option you need to be offshore to apply https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/417- plus add in the work restrictions as you have noted as well. The main obstacle still seems to be fact as far as permanent jobs go you would be competing against people with experience so may have to accept you need a long term plan to get that experience first. Whether a masters for example assuming in the IT field makes you any more attractive to an employer versus experience is debatable. Maybe a masters and experience but who knows as in some fields can even become over qualified.
