    I am unhappy with your moderation (to say the least)and as such will be requiring Rob to remove me from this forum forth with.

    It would appear a forum run with heavy influence by the migrant agent lobby, for their convenience (business) has no grounds for sensible debate or in fact the answering of questions posed as to whether or not a migrant agent is at all required.

    The response given was a perfectly thought out post to the question posed and was not directly a challenge to the migrant agency lobby to which I would have known better than challenge on a normal migration query thread.

    The migration agency lobby sought to respond on their own back, as usual found wanting on fact, outside of self interest and were personally abusive to top it off, being unable in other ways to respond.

    The removal of information regarding The Handbook of Immigration, a genuine tool which would have assisted the inquirer no end, to get answers to questions posed, as well as saving a pile of money, as well as useful for other peeps with a common similar question, as well as being sanctioned is unforgivable in my book and totally without just cause. I have reviewed the most recent addition and it is worth its price whether or not a migration agent is used. I can assure you all migration agents have a copy.

    My question would of course be, if the response wasn't wanted, why not remove the question posed? If no one is permitted to pose the question as to the necessity of using an expensive agent, then come clean and inform peeps that only questions to migration lobby agents will be permitted. Not questions about their use.

    The forum has been falling of over fairly recent times. It doesn't deserve people with insight wasting their time .

    I will be contacting Rob now to have my removal complete.

    Well we take a nose dive and they buy up even more at cheaper rates. The Chinese 'of means' are far more numerous than the entire Australian population, many times. They could between them buy and sell Australia many times. It should be remembered China regards Chinese abroad as belonging to the Motherland and will defend them with the power at its means if deemed necessary.
  3. Guest263228
    Australia has been very lazy with the usual sell out politicians to the highest bidder. There are plenty of examples of this from the sale of Darwin Port to various agricultural lands of national interest. It is clear China will influence will expand ever more in the future as their tourists dominate, students out rank all other internationals by far, trade dependency and not forgetting the biggest intake of migrants as well as investors in shoring up the housing market. This will enable China to wield undue influence behind the scenes and at a stage influence policy.
  4. Guest263228
    China is new to the game. The real estate lobby have own interests at stake here, being not happy with crackdown of Chinese funds entering Australia, along with potential government toughening up on Chinese 'investment' in Australian real estate that has challenged local ability to partake especially in the bigger cities. There is a lot more to the game than purely the amount .
  5. Guest263228
    Well no it isn't and has extensive internal issues. But The state controlled system has challenged the concept of liberal economic democracy and found it severely wanting. It is far from only Australia that is being 'taken over' by China. The process is well under way, in a far more advanced form in certain South East Asian countries Pacific Islands and African countries, where Chinese buy influence and control. You may well consider China being the saviour of Australia, but it will come at a very heavy price. Already Chinese influence is deeply felt. A recent book publican was banned due to criticism of China by the publishers. They are as the Americans before, paying lobbyists within the media and those of influence to ensure the Chinese point is clearly expressed of whatever interest that might be, It is not hard to see where a conflict of interest could easily make Australia a victim of such a policy. China will extract a price for its shoring up the economy on every form from trade, tourism to students .

    Is it time?

    We have found the same in Perth. I don't think a single person remains here from late 90's. Loads moved overseas, but also to Melbourne and Sydney. Almost all were foreign born. I thought that was a Perth thing? Looks from your experience, the same thing in Melbourne. But London the same as well.
  7. Guest263228
    I do hope you arrive at the answer to your particular issue. Tread very carefully would be my advise and do nothing hasty.
  8. Guest263228
    Well I Take it you are referring to me. Why not? Some people are up to it others are not. It is up to the individual to decide what and where they stand. We do not have to know the poster to give a general outline. Fact is a number of people are 'lazy' these days and prefer to outsource tasks. I did not refer only to the use of migration agents, or real estates or lawn mower cutters as a single item, but a host of things. Fact being we tend to live in an age where they are led to believe any number of things are too difficult or to time consuming for a host of reasons, but some obvious ones do tend to stand out. Now by informing the OP that there is indeed the option of doing it themselves that will hopefully allow that individual to make up their own mind as to the process they prefer to follow. You appear to be justifying your own situation for some unknown reason. Stay out of what exactly? A question was posed on this forum to members at large. Not aimed at migration agents, whose views will hardly be non partial with such a question. Of course they are fine to put their side as well, even though the question was not posed to an agent. I keep out of migration direct questions where migration agents are involved as a rule, but this isn't one of them. Perhaps you could explain just what your beef is really about?
  9. Guest263228
    Well I have yet to meet anyone whom claims to have all the answers. A lot depends on the applicant and type of visa. What should be pointed out, once again, is that it is indeed very possible to do ones own application. A change in regulations, which I have agreed are frequent, are as a rule not in place, until the following financial year. Here in Australia that begins 1 July. ' The Australian Immigration Handbook will have will provide most the requirements for applicants. Well worth the less than $100 if of the mind to wade through it. Yes we all learn from others answers. Just like the fact that it is possible to go it alone.
  10. Guest263228
    I'd go for a councillor at least for initial point of contact. Such a service will be free.
  11. Guest263228
    What does come naturally is being on the ball. Not spending money un necessary and helping others to consider areas of saving, if so asked.Don't bother to cut my own grass, as a rule, as it stands. But quite possibly have cut grass, since lodging or helping others to lodge, their visa application forms. I understand it is in your interests to make it sound hard work. Fair enough. We all have to put a crust on the table. But what should be underlined is the process is perfectly doable one self. I have noted a reference book that will guide most through the process. I personally would have no hesitation lodging the process of visa application myself today, if so required. But then, I accept I have some knowledge already on the matter and what I need to brush up on I would probably be able to ascertain by consulting the Australian Immigration Companion 2017. A look through it today confirmed pretty much so. I can accept border line cases may well be in requirement of some 'fine tunning' to get over the mark. While others lack confidence or willingness or just can't be bothered, much as with me and my lawn. Lazy on my part I admit. But outlay is low, besides I prefer other tasks. Still got me thinking........
  12. Guest263228
    Well on my part there wouldn't be anyway. I'd likely be banned. But you obviously pick up on what you want to and disengage the rest. I stated the analogy between people unwilling to commit to simple tasks out of laziness, or perhaps let everyone do everything for them, outsource, to more involved tasks like migration. Come now it is not that difficult for some of us. I understand you are rent seeker, with an interest to invalidate every post, by belittling but really all my posts point out a reality. You are not obliged to agree. .
  13. Guest263228
    I believe it has improved though and have met migrants, whom claimed to like it . But no real idea about modern Kal, and I would agree with Paul, err on caution. I think it is good advise to seek out a migrant councillor. At least sort out the legalities.
  14. Guest263228
    No need to be p=====ed off. There is nothing at all wrong with pointing out alternatives are available, I seem to recall the question was asked with regards to self application and saving money. As this forum, I thought, was about helping potential migrants by answering their questions, as well as pointing out alternatives, I see no reason for such a comment. I have clearly stated there is a need for agents, (the immigration process is more complicated, these days) as far from all applicants will feel comfortable or capable of going alone. For the small number than do feel able surely there should be room for encouragement? Of course agents give valuable advise. Nobody denies it. But why should the future be jeopardised? The agents by giving advise advocate for their business at the same time surely? Long may all options continue.
  15. Guest263228
    Ok. Why not use The Immigration Companion which can be purchased for under $100. I was researching an edition in a library today. It explains all you will need to know and if, only if, the matter appears complicated or too taxing, approach an agent. All agents I expect will have in their possession such a book. Just make sure it is the latest edition as migration rules change on an annual basis in this country. You can be your own expert.
  16. Guest263228
    The problem is that things are written that others may not by choice want to read. But I am not a troll and never stated as much. Every thing I state I firmly believe , in fact know it to be truthful. It may well not suit commercial aspects of some, but believe me I do have a reasonably good understanding of what goes on. A lot I do not disclose on the forum for obvious reasons. It remains clear if I get into a debate with a migration agent how the end result will be. I do consider others only too well. Hence why I take the bother to post.

    Not fishing, sometimes an unbaited line hooks a passing fish.

    Make or break issue for some. I don't do sides either. One man band me. Don't want a cuddle either, so save your breath.
  19. Guest263228
    I thought I might get a bite. Well lets not over complicate things shall we? Nothing like inducing a sense of fear of course, in citing a ten year ban. Fact remains a normal application, completed by an average competent person , without additional pragmatic considerations, when all said and done should not find a problem. As I have stated, if not good at form filling or understanding requirements or have problems with reading or such like, rather expensive paid help may be required. The analogy is of course, far from ridiculous, as all tasks mentioned one could generally be expected to be able to fulfil. One may indeed enjoy the 'luxury' , and preference of having some one else cut their lawn, do their garden, complete their accounts or indeed fill in an immigration application form. The individuals choice, but at least allow them to understand that there is indeed the possibility of a choice.

    Well plenty might but there is not plenty of parking. (weekends) On several occasions we have had to terminate attempts to find a spot at that beach. Like I wrote, bit of a joke these past few weeks, with only a small section of beach, and I mean small, available to ordinary beach goers. (from around 8.45 until noon) I agree some don't crave, nor like vitality. It's not a matter of liking London. It's only a day. A complete change from anything possible in Perth. I've often thought Perth is holds more of an attachment to a particular sort of person, less to others. Anyway Teddington is hardly in the centre of where it happens. All to their own of course.
  21. Guest263228
    No one would argue the convenience involved in using an agent. Surely that applies to everything and anything in life? From cutting your lawn to cleaning your house, to doing your accounts and so on. I believe most people of ordinary intelligence will be able to complete requirements quite amply. If there are borderline considerations or don't meet criteria, for a particular reason, there is obviously a chance they may get you over the line. I'm afraid the argument that it is just another cost on top of a substantial amount already paid, is lazy talk, which doesn't wash in the slightest with me. Surely the idea is to save where possible. Immigration is a hell of an expensive operation. One would have thought savings would be welcomed where ever possible.

    If you are not to be living as man and wife, on a 457 visa, living apart, how do you reflect on your entitlement to remain in Australia?

    Not many necessary for the better. Still rather recognisable though in that time frame.

    Try finding a car parking spot at Cottesloe during summer . For that matter try finding a spot on the beach to swim on a weekend during the morning. Cottesloe Life Saving seem to have commandeered pretty much the entire beach. Full of nippers. Markets are a choice but are lively and full of things going on. Perth doesn't come remotely close in what here terms markets. Far more than bratwursts . I accept if you don't like crowds and lots of vitality and energy Perth will be preferable. But to write an opportunity off to visit London, when in the neighbourhood, is almost sacrilegious.
  25. Guest263228
    Nobody can really tell you the best thing to do. Is the job opportunity an improvement on your husbands present position? Is it worth persevering for a short time? Have you been there? It is remote. It is quite outback in locality. It can be rough, in the Aussie style. I have heard it has improved over the years with even a bit of 'class; in places. Not sure to be honest. Not a place I would move to but I'm sure our situations differ. There's a lot to consider. If you don't find work there, will your economic situation be better than present? Are there members of your ethnic community and language group present there?
