Following the death of Fred Walker in 1935, the Vegemite brand came under the ownership of the American company Kraft Foods. However, in 2017 the brand returned to Australian ownership when the Bega Group purchased it alongside other assets from Mondelez International (formerly Kraft Foods Inc.).

The Vegemite brand is owned by Bega Cheese Limited, an Australian food company. Bega acquired the brand in 2017 for $460 million.

The solid structure the aircraft hit is the localiser antenna associated with the ILS. RIP to the deceased

When does the Thai ETA begin. Haven't heard anything about it for a while. I'm arriving 16 February 2025, will I need an ETA to enter?

Yes, wait times are long to C'Link International. I waited for 42 minutes last week and was calling from within Australia

No, Hezbollah started their terrorist action with rockets on October 8

Centrelink International is the section to call regards all questions on portability of the OAP. I have called 131673 and they answered all my questions on portability of my OAP. @scorecard has correctly answered most of the questions regarding portability in his post above

Also mentions Hurghada is in Turkey. which is incorrect

@tomazbodner did you read the article in full, not just the paragraph I quoted from the link? After reading your post I don't think you did

Anyone know about this upcoming travel requirement? https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/thailand-eta-visa-waiver The Thai ETA will be mandatory for visitors who enjoy visa-free travel to Thailand: an extensive list of almost 100 ‘visa waiver’ countries including Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada and the USA, Singapore, China and Hong Kong, along with most European nations.

I've had no trouble getting an evisa on the site I mentioned

What a load of S*$T. Commercial passenger jets Do Not routinely dump fuel before landing. Some need to dump fuel in an emergency to reduce the weight to the maximum allowable landing weight, most wide body long range aircraft have fuel dump systems(A380,A350,A330,B787,B777) Most narrow body, single isle aircraft do not have fuel dump systems Do some more research

You are wrong and have misread the mood of Australian voters. Typical YES comments. The only person to hang his head in shame should be Albanese for pissing $400 million dollars up against the wall for his arrogance in not abandoning the referendum when ALL polls indicated YES would lose badly

I won't be enlightening you about anything. You're such a no it all with an opinion on everything, find out for yourself

Afraid to say KH is WRONG. Then again he nevers admits he is wrong, just deflects the criticism and continues the spin

@KhunHeinekenyou are not prevented from leaving Australia with a HELP/HECS debt. A person with a HELP/HECS debt must inform the ATO within 7 days of leaving the country. If you are earning over the minimum $51550, 2022/2023 tax year you are required to make compulsory payment towards your debt regardless of where you live in the world. The requirements to pay you debt is ongoing (providing you earn over the minimum salary) until the debt is settled. The balance is written of if you die before paying the full amount. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-03/qld-hecs-help-ex-pats-indexation-university-debt/102427526 https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Study-and-training-support-loans/Overseas-repayments/

No, there are 11 politicians elected to the Australian Parliament today who identify as indigenous so they already have a Voice. No need for a race based 'Voice' to be enshrined in the Australian Constitution as Albo is pushing for on the 14 October 2023 The way the polls are tracking this referendum will fail as most of the past referendums have

She has been an Australian citizen for 27 years

@Michael Howellsdid you inform Services Australia that you are married to a Thai who is working in Thailand when you initially applied for the OAP? May be a factor in being denied
