I'm not anti American, nor have I ever been. That said, it's well known that America's biggest employer is defense, either directly, or indirectly. This is a fact, and I have posted links in the past showing this. Unfortunately, what this means is, America's economy is based on a "war economy." Putin has taken a leaf out of America's book and has done the same in recent years, Basically, war is good for America's economy. Fact. Make of that what you will, but the end result for many around the world, America's prosperity is not a pleasant one for them.

Depends on what sort of Thai missus you have though, doesn't it?

https://psychology.org.au/about-us/news-and-media/aps-in-the-media/2024/australian-teens-trapped-by-social-media-apps-as-t Are you a qualified psychologist?

Would that be the same parents that deny their children access to drugs, thus, a life of crime and incarceration? You are very naive.

Yet, Australia is looking at the very real possibility of having to import gas, despite having huge gas resources, and being a major exporter of gas. What a disgrace.

You forgot to mention, he is living in the middle of nowhere, with his missus sending all her earnings back to Thailand. What a great way to see out your twilight years, before you die.

Fact is, he's paying for those who have never worded a day in their life.

Same. I don't mind donating to poor families in Issan, through an Aussie pensioners.

What confuses people is you post about receiving an old aged pension and a DVA pension, and everyone knows you can not receive both pensions. It goes to credibility. Simple. Really.

Yes, and you can't be on both pensions. No, there isn't. But the member says you get the full supplement, FOREVER.

That "more" may have to be paid back in the future.

Can you post the link to what you quoted, otherwise, it's just you "opinion."

Can you simply provide the link? You read it. Just cut and paste the link. Easy.

Unless someone else is living in there house while they are away. Yes, I know. Rocket science.

So how do you also get a DVA pension? You can't receive both pensions.

He posts that he is receiving both, and you can't receive both.

You have recently posted that you are on a DVA pension and how you only received a half payment, due to a technical error in Australia. You can not be on both pensions. Stop misleading readers.

So why do many members think the ATO is not in the loop also? Why wouldn't they be?

Immigration doesn't have to know. All immigration has do is inform other relevant government agencies, who need to be informed of such information, so they can take action.

You're welcome.

Why wouldn't it be smooth as silk? You have an Aussie passport. The game hasn't started yet, but it will in the future, and then it will be as smooth as sandpaper.

I'm sure he's not playing with a straight bat living over here, as far as Centerlink and the ATO is concerned. Exactly the reason why the proposed changes t tax residency were proposed in the first place. Income from Australia is income from Australia, and that includes pensions.

I just thought I would jump on the gravy train like so many Aussie expat pensioners. Many of whom post on this thread. You know, the ones that sign the declaration that they are returning home to Australia for good, only to leave a day after pension portability is achieved. As for the ATO catching me out. Good luck with that. The money is given to me in baht, in cash, in Thailand, by a non Thai tax resident.
