simmo Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I think PIO is very supportive of others when they reach out in need, compared to other forums I see. However it's give and take and I think it's been rather one way in some cases. What ever PPs past misdemeanors, I don't think she deserves this public flogging.

Guest guest30085 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Actually she has a visa up until the time DIAC cancels it. That doesn't necessarily happen the moment you lose your job. Ok I stand corrected, they have an employer sponsored visa which is not attached to any employer Ive heard of DIAC sometimes being a little bit more sympathetic to those on a 457, and not throwing them out on the 28th day, but I've never heard of anyone being able to stay for five months whilst working for an employer who could sponsor them for PR, but DIAC aren't bothered that they haven't sponsored for a 457? Past posts make it very difficult to believe anything the OP posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PomPrincesses Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Really? How about the possibility that in every aspect of every individuals lives there are discretionary details that lie with individual cases that you know nothing about ?

PomPrincesses Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 but not your stuff.. Well luckily - hollow laugh - it's still in the UK in storage because we haven't had the cash to shop it out, there's not a huge amount I'd take back, we can sell the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest76088 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I have read many disingenuous posts. Many people on threads such as these start with a premise that is discredited about three pages on, leaving those that offered genuine advice based on the information presented feeling a bit foolish. So if you are implying you are not telling the whole story then either do so, or gratefully accept the advice you have received so far. I am trying hard to find you sympathetic - and finding it difficult. BigD Really? How about the possibility that in every aspect of every individuals lives there are discretionary details that lie with individual cases that you know nothing about ?

noworriesmate Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 In response to people like you being complete ****s.how long before this thread gets pulled I wonder? You are the OP and we will pull the thread anytime at your request. NWM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest30085 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 It will probably run on for 28 pages like most of the OPs threads, not that they are ever controversial or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobeTrotta Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 What ever PPs past misdemeanors, I don't think she deserves this public flogging. I have to agree with this, but it would appear to be coming a norm to flog rather than to offer support. Erstwhile, PIO was less so inclined, rather judgmental and less de facto based approach. Last time I checked to me at least forums, blogs etc are as much akin to Hyde Park Corner and the notion of freedom to express, while some may think it's fair game to pass sentence and judge; perhaps this is a social statement, anyhow I don't recall public floggings at HPC only a good honest debate, therein lies the essence of a forum hence the origin of the word. Alas, less debate has been found and more capital punishment. It's pity that PIO has denigrated to such levels as it appears to have done so at least in my observation over the past 12 months. One does not have to flog one if one does not agree does one! I shall step down from my perch. May PIO live on and the floggers be lynched and shackled and free speech prevails...bloody unlikely.

Robo234 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) I'm sorry but the only person that ever seems rude & totally up your own a*** pp is you! I've followed your post & you confuse people & bite there heads off usually at the slightest comment & then when they try to understand where your coming from you just turn on people so you usually get it back especially the famous thread of your struggling on your joint income of $200, 000 a year (sorry), think that was a bit hard for people to swallow Edited May 13, 2013 by Robo234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would normally be the first to stand up for anyone who I thought was being mistreated, especially those who appear to be having a difficult time. But, in the case, it has been shown time and time again that when people offer genuine help then the OP has shown almost contempt for their helpful suggestions. Also the circumstances of the OP change everytime they post, from the occupations they are employed in, to the ages of their children and even how many children they have! So in this case, 'flogging' seems appropriate, but as in 'flogging a dead horse'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest76088 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 One does not have a clue what you are saying. Flogging? Capital punishment? Cats an Dogs living together? With censure and censorship, free speech cannot prevail. BigD I have to agree with this, but it would appear to be coming a norm to flog rather than to offer support.

starlight7 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I was wondering what has happened to the 'nanny'- presumably they have lost their job ( or maybe it was another figment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PomPrincesses Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 And that's necessary is it ? The nanny got knocked up and moved to Melbourne dropping me right in the **** but that's ok because I didn't provide meals as well as a living wage :eek: Suddenly "discovered" she was 5 months pregnant and left to go to Melbourne not been seen or heard of since. Luckily mr pp has had a vasectomy so no questions to answer there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Everyone, can we please stop picking on the OP. Whatever has happened in the past on PIO, I do not want to go over it, OP is in a difficult job and marriage situation, which few people deserve. OP, can you explain what it is you are looking for? Your thread title is "what made you throw in the towel" so are you just after swapping stories or are you looking for helpful comment on your own predicament. It probably is not really clear from your opening post and perhaps that is why this has gone off track. So as I say, perhaps if you can remind us what you are looking for and hopefully we can get the thread back on track with some helpful comments. Otherwise I think that we should close this thread as this is not productive for anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PomPrincesses Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 I'm laughing but it wasn't bloody funny at the time, her mother must have called about 30 times to try and get hold of her - us not knowing if we should let her know the good news or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People's experiences. ive had good advice this morning that things will turn around in Perth after the election and 2014 will be a mini boom, it's just holding on until then and **** knows what happens if the good times don't transpire.

Quoll Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Look if you have nothing constructive to write then piss off tbh, I have had more dramas in the past five years than ****ing east Enders. Hubby wants to stay so this will split up our family, hardly something to be gleefully gloating over. Your husband may not have the choice if your 457 is gone! I'm really sorry this has happened to you - adversity like this, sadly, splits many a relationship and hopefully, if you do head off then he will realise that the people are the most important thing in his life, not the place he is living it!

Guest chris955 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Homewardbound wrote that the figures were "minimal in real terms". 2.4% more unemployment is not close. Actually 2.4% is indeed very close and of course the gap is getting smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perthbum Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 The UK isn't totally on it's arse it's in a very bad state but other places are worse (Spain and Greece for example) I'd think very long and hard about returning currently just by virtue of the unemployment figures Perth has one of the lowest in the world! Where as the UK well I'll let you research the current state of affairs it isn't good despite some people claiming to neither be affected or know anyone affected by the downturn it has happened and is ongoing................at the end of the day it's your lives and your decisions, I personally wouldn't want to be returning currently without a secure job offer. You don't seem to grasp the fact that many people are struggling for work in oz...I have friends in Perth who are really struggling to find work.
