Finally a government spokesman is doing something about the treatment of conscripts, this has been going on for years plus using them as glorified maids to senior officers. Is there any wonder there is no trust in the military to treat people fairly. Discipline is fine, but cruelty is not, bullies the lot of them, praying on people who cannot fight back, so basically cowards.

in all if not all then most states in Australia require a helmet even when riding a bicycle one must have a helmet on or maybe the bike is impounded so why not a helmet in Thailand on a motorbike. Think of the investment made by governments in Australia into this young man's life - child support payments, medical, education etc, All gone before taxes paid in return, simple economics. His family will be heartbroken as well. RIP Carlos

Name the 34 buildings considered unsafe

I understand that concrete takes up to 28 days to gain full strength, so if adding floors to quickly then the concrete is not strong enough to support above floors. Usual cost cutting and shody workmanship by engineers, Was this a Chinese construction company. Typical dodgy practises

I always ask what is being prescribed and often items are crossed out. It is my understanding from a retired Doctor than at many hospitals the Doctors are given a target amount of drugs to be prescribed. Drop below the target and sanctions are imposed

Good maybe the teenagers will use it to pay school related expenses and save their parents the pain of finding that money

I do my 90 day report via my retirement visa, pay B500 and do not need to leave my condo. If had to go to CW a B300-500 taxi ride, 3-4 hours and taxi return same cost. Receive new 90 day report after about a week via EMS, easy. I tried online but a crap website. In fact I did no 90 day report for about 3 years before and decided better to follow the rules, although no noise about no report for so long.

I am an Aussie who previously had a work permit in Thailand, but retired and went back to Australia for the required 2 years to be able to receive the Centrelink pension while living in Thailand. I receive the Centrelink (Asssie gov pension) payment into my BBL account each 4 weeks. I also earn some commissions from a Thai company (less then allowed earnings under Centrelink rules). The Thai company takes 5% withholding tax from my commission. I recently had my Thai tax return submitted on line by a Thai accountant, I received all the withholding tax back this week. I did provide the accountant with a 1 year bank statement from BBL plus copies of the Centrelink details of pension payments. The Revenue Department obviously did not require and tax to be payable on my Aussie pension. There is a DTA Thailand & Australia which states tax on pensions is not payable here. Other country pensions I have no idea about and don't care. But Aussie pensioners here should be breathing easier.

The free service is nothing new, The BRT has been free for many months, so doubtful that is attracting new users

He has been watching Trump to get lessons on how to shoot one in the foot
