If it did come in, you can bet there will be more than a few returning. It's the main reason I don't think the change will be implemented. Targeting vulnerable pensioners is usually a no go for most governments.

I reckon they will take notice when/if a pensioner returns to Oz and goes to the media about not being able to live with his family overseas because his pension has been reduced by a 3rd. And when pensioners return to Australia with nowhere to live. And that will happen.

Yep No threshold for non-residents.

Pensions are taxable, but if that's your only source of income you're OK.

You're the one who said "any reason put forward by posters in meaningless". So I assume that means you and every other poster on here. As far as insufferable posters. Someone who has posted over 200 posts, with the vast majority of them about the same subject, not to mention incorrect information is subjective I think.

When then your post is meaningless then if that's the case. If you think the 183 rule will be subject to "legitimate reasons", then you're opening up a can of worms that does make it hard to enforce. Obviously armed forces and overseas government transfers won't be included but I'm not sure about being on business. Insufferable posters, you can say that again.

There's been a lot of reasons put forward why it won't be implemented. So you're saying if it's implemented, the 183 rule is will be subject to "good reasons". Most of the sniping is due to one insufferable poster TBF.

I'm not tech savvy, but the reviews of the Samsung A series have all been very good.

Hope you're ready for a 1000 word reply pointing out that you're wrong and he is in fact correct. He's like a dog with a bone.

Episode 1 dropping now.

He's after the A53 and it's about 11 000 to 12 000 Baht.

Why didn't you do yours online FJ?

There's a million phone shops around or you could buy online. The price is around 11 000 to 12 000 Baht. Just thought you could buy one and get the sim card whilst you're at it. If something goes wrong with it, you should be covered by warranty. Not sure how you'd go with the one from the States. I'd buy in Thailand, but that's just me.

If you don't already have it, why wouldn't you buy it in Thailand?

Same here. Will now wait for it to finish and then go the binge.

I haven't started it yet but it has some pretty good reviews.

The Spy in Your Mobile RAR. A Storyville documentary that investigates a powerful and terrifying spyware called Pegasus, sold to governments around the world by Israeli company NSO Group and used on journalists, activists and others, including both the wife and fiancée of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi.

This one appearing this week looks pretty good.

That's a shame mate, I really enjoyed the series. Especially series 1. Perhaps it has more appeal to Aussies because a lot of the crims were really well known.

I'm a huge fan of Matt Nable. Reckon he's underrated. Was in Mr Inbetween as well. The book by John Ibrahim was a real page turner.

Good news. Justified is coming back. Hope it's a s good as the original series. https://www.outkick.com/justified-revival-release-date-speculation-summer-fx-timothy-olyphant/#:~:text=“Justified” is returning in 2023,as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens.

Last King of the Cross New Aussies series just started. If you liked Underbelly, there's a fair chance you will enjoy this.

Thought it was continuing. https://www.irishmirror.ie/tv/clarksons-farm-season-3-confirmed-29220280

Still Missing Morgan In June of 1995, Morgan Chauntel Nick was abducted from a little league ballpark in Alma, AR. Starting in 2019, cameras follow the Nick family and Detectives for the entire 24th year of Morgan's disappearance, revealing exclusive interviews and information around an unprecedented abduction investigation.

I'm not attacking you at all. I appreciate the advice you're giving. However, I posted that IMO, you would still have to live in Australia for the majority of the 2 years. You said it was untrue. I then asked you how long you can stay out for and you didn't really know. That's not attacking you, I was just trying to figure out what I said was untrue. So the bottom line is, no one really knows how long you're allowed the out of the country before it affects your 2 year waiting period. You've advised you can have several holidays a year for a few weeks at a time. I imagine you would have to stay in Australia for the majority of the 2 years or it would be pointless having the 2 year period. I doubt the time outside of Australia is in legislation, it's probably just policy, which for obvious reasons they wouldn't be that keen on advising people.
