No. I am posing links to proposed changes in legislation. Links to non resident tax brackets. Links showing pensions are a taxable income. Links to the current 90 year old legislation. Links to the current Labor government acknowledging the proposed changes and not binning them. Then, some of my opinion about how it all may unfold, and also debunking some of the ideas members have about how they can remain a resident of Australia for tax purposes, all the while whilst living in Thailand, perpetually. Most of my posts, accept the the ones continually addressing your personal attacks, contain links for the benefit of members. The non resident tax brackets to scorecard a few days agao being the most recent, for example. "Proposed changes are a myth until they are passed in legislation." These are your exact words from the post in question. See the words: "Proposed changes are a myth" Your last 20 to 30 posts have been nothing but personally attacking me. No links, stats, screenshots etc. Just personal attacks. When's the last time you have posted any content worthy of being called information on this thread? You say you post on other threads, as I do I, but you only come on this thread to get emojis for you AN reputation by personally attacking, as if I give sh*t. Yeah, you are a troll. You're the biggest troll on this thread.

PM me then. You obviously have no idea of the prices in Thailand, and in Australia. For the record, I am not talking about Beach Road Pattaya girls.

Do you see the 19,677? Care to comment on that?

In general, I agree with your list, but would like to point out that I think you will find the positives you mention for many are also the negatives for many. Example: government support = higher taxes for workers. Australia has a generous welfare system, which many believe is being abused. Eg. dole bludgers. I note you also address this double edged sword in some of your list. Example: Freedom. I'm one of those that see Australia as a nanny state. In my opinion, we are over governed, over policed, over regulated, and pay some high taxes. For every new law that is passed, we lose more of our freedom. Also, the whole "woke" thing is going from bad to worse back there. As you mentioned, housing is just killing the next generation coming through. Basically, slaves to the bank for 30 years, yet, Australia has so much land. I still remain patriotic, but I just don't see Australia as The Lucky Country anymore.

You are not a Mod. If you think a post of mine breaches forum rules, report it. This post of yours is just another example of an off topic, personal attack, and troll post from you. It's worthless. I have addressed the negativity around the information I post to members in a recent post. (see above) No one likes to be told they may have to pay tax and / or lose some pension entitlement. Why don't you just PM me with your rubbish. I'll gladly engage you there. Why the need to seek positive emojis, and group acceptance, like a teenager on Facebook? I haven't posted any BS. I have backed everything up with links. You, on the other hand, are sprouting the proposed changes are just a myth.

I have never said the proposed changes are now law. All I did was give the heads up to members on this thread, and their possible impact on all Aussie expats, and because many members didn't like what they were reading, they decided to shoot the messenger, in the hope the message would go away. Will the proposed changes go away, I doubt it. Will they be amended to take into account expat pensioners, possibly, but at this stage there is nothing in the proposed changes indicating this. I have posted a link showing the Labor government is aware of the changes, and considering increasing the length of the 45 days, but they didn't throw the proposed changes in the bin, so what does that tell you?

Do you live in Thailand? If you do, why shouldn't the member leave, as you have. If you don't, why are you posting on this website?

How so?

No. It's not a troll post. In one post scorecard is on a veteran's pension, stating he qualified for portability by staying in accommodation for veterans, and then in another post he is an aged pensioner ring the night people at Centerlink. He can't be on both pensions.

No deflection. Just a few days ago scorecard didn't even know the non resident tax brackets do not have a tax free threshold, despite it being discussed at length, and proven with links. Do you tell him to scroll back, or just post the link again for him?

You are joking. You are the leading troll in this thread, by a long margin. I've never reported anyone, for any post, ever. Each to their own.

The Australia government is publishing myths now. Oh dear. https://treasury.gov.au/consultation/c2023-205344#:~:text=This measure was announced by,be an Australian tax resident.

I guess you need glasses, not me. I buy the 0008 model, which is helium, in 10TB. I have three of them, so that's 30TB of storage, which is weeks. I also subscribe to off site storage, in case someone wants to steal the NVR to destroy the evidence. Did you see the 0008 model with 1,763,868. I guess you didn't, because you need glasses. There's a mix of price point V value for money. Seagate Skyhawk has always been good value. but I have always practiced good HDD management. Same Same. I replace one of them every year, which means the NVR always has a 1 year old HDD, should the other two fail simultaneously, which is highly unlikely. At the time of the swap out, I dust out the board and fan, which should be done annually anyway.

You don't even know what pension you are on. How would you even know your username on AN? Only just recently you still thought non resident tax brackets had a tax free threshold, despite it being discussed on this thread at length.

I post information everytime someone thinks there's nothing in the proposed changes for them. Simple.

21,900 / 6 = 3,650 posts a year, which is 304 posts a month, many of which are rubbish posts trolling me, and you want to bang on about my post amount. No doubt YOU and some others have reported me to Mods in the past. I've never reported anyone, for anything.

Here's a tip for you. It can also depend on how far away a city is from the equator. Who would have thought it?

Prostitution is legal in some states in Australia, and it's still easily found in the state where it's not legal. After lady drinks and bar fines, the price isn't much different.

Are you Paul Hogan?

Why do you still think getting your pension on a monthly basis, no matter which one you claim to be receiving, is going to circumvent being a non resident for tax purposes? Jesus, man. You don't live in Australia. You are a non resident for tax purposes. It's as simple as that. What is most likely to change in the future is the government is going to make it easier for themselves to collect the tax that you, and I, and others, should have been paying for decades. You are looking for things to give you hope. Look at the legislation and deal with the outcome, and no, these laws are not just for guys like Paul Hogan.

Coming from someone with multiple "nom de plumes." Are you "scorecard" also?

You got found out. Get over it. One post you're on a veteran's pension, the post you're on an aged pension. The best you can do is cry "khunheineken is blocked" in a vain attempt to deflect. I posted month ago there is no tax free threshold in the non resident tax brackets, and you only have just discovered this. What's that saying about how sharp tools in the shed are?

Are you a teenager? Do you only post for likes and thumbs up? Says someone who has received death threats on AN. I bet you are the life of the party, especially after 15 cans of Leo, in the village. You've posted ZERO on this thread. Best stick to the visa thread, if that's all you can offer. Funny how the same visa information has been posted, and posted, and posted, time and time again, and you have reposted the same info, yet you bang on about repetitive posting. Too funny. Check out the Internet and Tech thread for my latest advice to a member. Once again, your post is totally off topic and is a personal attack and adds nothing to the thread. (not reported)

Fair question. I buy the Seagate Skyhawk helium filled HDD's for my NVR. They are not standard surveillance HDD's. They are more commercial grade HDD's. If you look at Backblaze, yes, I agree, the Seagate is not the best, but it is better than Western Digital. Given I rotate and swap out the HDD's, I have never had a failure, but that probably more to do with good HDD management than Seagate HDD reliability. Please note I said "prefer" not "recommend" so there is some personal choice in there, and price point value for money as well.

Are you an Australia citizen? If we took a survey of members on this thread, how many of them would have a TFN? Any that don't would be in the minority.
