Guest Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Shouldn't be allowed but there ya go If you love it, you shouldn't leave it, is that the thing? Opportunities for a new bumper sticker there methinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I think it is a bit off when you make a solemn vow at a ceremony to love your country and obey its laws etc and then hop on the first plane out. It does seem wrong somehow, but if you don't see it as a moral issue I suppose it is fine. :biglaugh: Only you could be affronted by this! Is it some kind of slight to Australia if people take out residency here and then go home? Does it portray Australia in some kind of unfavourable light? Is it a rejection of this great nation and all the values it upholds? A posting masterclass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpodom Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Does it have to affect me to give an opinion.You are not shy in giving your opinion to Jase and others in various threads. Posting in a thread invites opinions. But to answer your question, I don't like it because so many people would so love to be citizens, commit to the country and live here forever, that it seems wrong when people play the system, get the citizenship but don't want to live here. Yeah, I can think of a few thousand currently detained persons who would jump at the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
