Maybe it has been banned though if you are right and the content is too Un PC for today's delicate viewer. A few shows i have watched lately like The Professionals and Porridge have a content advisory warning before the show runs. In Porridge's case there was a crack about 'poofters' so it assume that was the reason. Probably too much of that sort of talk in shows from that era. Last night watched the third episode of Minder, where I'm up to at the moment. (The Smaller They Are) From the 1979. London looked quite run down . People dressed poorly, but recall the year and London then, to which I far preferred from the glitter and swagger of today. Any way easy to watch. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are not taking work from an Australian by doing so. Thanks. I have Australian citizenship so I'm not worried by the visa issues. But it's more from a tax and social security point of view. Apparently my company don't allow it in India, because India insists you pay tax there even for short stays, but I'm not sure about Australia. I have managed to find a website which I will read (it's rather long). But googling it tends to concentrate more on visas than tax. Nearly there! Don't drop the ball now guys!

I think it should be fine, my husband certainly worked on his holidays here before we moved. Never gave it a thought as he was paid and taxed in UK. You don’t become tax resident in Aus unless you move permanently or spend over 6 months here. I’m sure if your company is aware of Indian issues they would know about Australia. 1 So many wineries ......so little time :yes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ramot 6,416 Posted May 15 (edited) I think the level of political advertising and the non stop personal insults are a disgrace, all parties are equally at fault. What a dreadful impression of the quality of our politicians we have had to endure over the last few weeks, I doubt it will improve over the next 6 days, can’t wait for it all to end. They should be ashamed of themselves, we deserve better. Edited May 15 by ramot 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
