To every cloud there is a silver lining! And for this cloud, the approval of the proposed changes would be the epilogue and therefore the end of this boring and torturous saga inflicted upon this forum. Apologies to @scorecard for butting in.

The only place a 17 year old in the US Army is given a loaded gun is at the range under strict supervision.

Sorry it was not evident! May I suggest it may be appropriate to change the nomenclature of this forum now that you exceeded your 250th post of your epic saga of "Taxing Forum Pensioners". I have a few new names to offer: 1) War and Peace on Forum Pensioners. 2) There's More Than One Way to Skin a Cat Forum Pensioner. 3) 50 250 Shades of Grey Taxation Posts to Flog a Forum Pensioner with and Make Him Suffer.

With respect, what I stated was not ad hominem and it was not intended. It was fact with a dash of humor!

Yet, BBC is not funded by the Government. "The BBC is principally funded through the licence fee paid by UK households. In 2021/22 this generated £3.8bn. In addition, the BBC's commercial operations, such as BBC Studios, provide supplementary income. In 2021/22, the BBC made £1.7bn through its commercial operations."

Apparently, you have made 236 posts on this topic and most of them have been on the same one subject. Of those posts, you seem to have only offered one useful contribution of fact, to which I shall be eternally grateful. That there is a possibility of expatriate pensioners being taxed on their OAP. Once is enough! Re-iteration is unnecessary! Give it up! Talk about flogging a dead horse! The comments in my previous post stand!

Your raison d'etre seems to be continually postulating hypotheticals about the OAP. Have you ever considered starting your own topic on something like UFO's? I suggest you leave this forum to those who deal in hard facts!

Yet, Trump might either write his own results or get his doctor to lie for him. Donald Trump wrote own health letter, says physician Harold Bornstein - BBC News Trump’s Doctor Just Admitted He Lied to Stay “Upbeat.” He’s Still Leaving Big Questions Unanswered. – Mother Jones

AFAIK, 1) The transfer/repatriation of funds from Thailand thru Bangkok Bank can be problematic and needs an International account, documentation and is only available for specific reasons. Dee Money may be a better alternative. 2) I do not have any personal experience with marriage extension so I will not comment. 3) No, getting any type of credit/debit card is not fee free. Debit cards have an up front charge and a yearly fee. Usually a non-thai getting a credit card is pointless as the required deposit must equal the credit limit as is the same procedure for debit cards

Mothballs are evidently good for moths and larvae. It is very doubtful about the rest. The balls and fumes are toxic to humans, particularly children who may confuse them with candy. They are banned in many countries including the EU and NZ.

"I'm not confusing anything"! With respect, universal compulsory super in Australia started in 1992. Could you possibly keep your version of the "facts" to yourself?

So now, according to Trump, Pence is a not "P***y and Wimp" but "an honorable man". Video: Aides Say Trump Called Pence 'P-Word' and 'Wimp' on Jan. 6 Call (businessinsider.com)

It's money "earned" in Australia". Yes it is. Yet the most of the payment is the person's own money and they have already paid tax on it. Most of your posts are about what you are thinking, not what will happen. Suggest, you should keep your anxious thoughts to yourself until legislation becomes law.

I have always had the ability to add or delete other bank accounts but i have only tried at the same BSB. The only missing item was Gifting where I sent them a letter. If there was no facility for you to add another BSB or explanation, you should have phoned them or sent them a letter on line.

If you moved the money around from bank to bank irrespective of location, there should be no change in pension. If you only removed it online from ANZ without showing a corresponding amount to another asset like a car or household goods etc, there may be issues. If no other entry it is doubtful that Centrelink would just accept your word without some evidence of what happened to the money. Valid reasons may be payment for holidays gambling fraud etc. Invalid reasons may be no reason or gifting etc. I would suggest you resolve this unless you gave your SCB account details on line too or it is only a minor amount, as penalties do exist

Tip: Use the Compliments and Feedback Line and jump the queue. You will also get a senior staff member who knows what they are talking about.

Agree, but for others the Kool-Aid has impaired the ability to discern between facts and misinformation and science and myths.

The facts show the main failure for Afghanistan lies with Trump. The well was poisoned way before Biden became POTUS. US general says Afghanistan collapse rooted in Trump-Taliban deal "US general says Afghanistan collapse rooted in Trump-Taliban deal Senior military officials in the United States have linked the collapse of the Afghan government and its security forces in August to former President Donald Trump’s deal with the Taliban in 2020 promising a complete withdrawal of US troops. General Frank McKenzie, the head of Central Command, told the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday that once the US troop presence was pushed below 2,500 as part of Washington’s bid to complete a total withdrawal by the end of August, the unravelling of the US-backed Afghan government accelerated". https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/9/30/us-generals-say-afghanistan-collapse-rooted-in-trump-taliban-deal Trump ordered rapid withdrawal from Afghanistan after election loss Having screwed the deal with the Taliban, Trump ordered an immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan after his election loss to leave a further mess for Biden. If Trump had succeeded in his order in December 2000, imagine the additional level of total chaos that would have ensued in the US Biden "botched" withdrawal almost a year later. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2022/10/13/trump-ordered-rapid-withdrawal-from-afghanistan-after-election-loss/

I think you are getting confused between the $1 discount some pharmacies give to the aged and the PBS subsidy. I had a repeat prescription dispensed early today with the PBS subsidy but not the $1 discount because I didn't wait the prescribed number of days between the repeats. If you are going overseas your GP can still mark the prescription so all repeats are dispensed with the PBS subsidy at the same time.

Needless to say the same socio-political ideology that has divided the US is now dividing Australia. Conspiracies theories and misinformation seem to be the order of the day. News Corp is the most influential media source in Australia as it is in US. It doesn't take any critical thinking to join the dots.
