OP: Unlikely you would get a marriage / defacto visa for girlfreind until can demonstrate you have known each other for a least 12 months. Once you commence living together you would receive the equivalent of a married person for Age Pension. Not up to date with the latest legislation, but likely partner would not receive any welfare payment for approx two years after arrival, but she would be eligible to work / access Medicare. Any partner earning would be pro rata deducted from your Age Pension.

Given the blatant extensive corruption over many years by Turmp Organisation executives it is "interesting" that so far none of the financial services / real estate industry enablers have been charged. Perhaps when moves are made by Federal authorities we will finally get some insight how Trump Org got way will their malfeasence over the years. Unless trump Org executives are setenced to jail time I really doubt any of them will face any meaningful penalties - they all would have millions in personal wealth.

NY AG has also passed on content to Fed Agencies to review for criminal prosecution. It is claimed NY AG is seeking $250million in fines, if case is successful would also disbar trump and children from holding executive businees role in NY State for a number of years. Don't know if a guilty finding would impact out of State and international Trump Org businesses - at a minimum more expensive cost of money. One would expect that finally will involve Fed Agencies for matters such as money laundering and public exposure of his dealings with mafia organisations. e.g. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/16/trump-mafia-connections-blocked-bid-to-open-sydney-casino-30-years-ago.html

Looks as though you're posting misinformation. The number you quote is far higher in just the USA, plus the thousands of deaths p.a. worldwide from dogs with rabies. https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities.php

Step in the right direction, but will police mostly forego bribes and actually enforce the law?

He will pay tax on any private income from the estate, but I believe Royal Family are execempted from inheritance tax.. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/prince-william-just-inherited-1-141618809.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFyRIEnbBWyc7c2Ia1-aqFogMHBxk7PhyxGiGNtddEZg1341pzoO0_TMC72M1BgxqOtNNHRaB0QtL-nbm4vilwwgG12Re0pEA0iMkhPkqpgaZfDyATmBlU94HQexLFXri0ULO6NPs3dWZcRy3-evBQL26KMoQb8q-sHG6eXSjSd1

Don't be shy, below is a list of criminal gangs in Sweden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organized_crime_in_Sweden More info: How an ex neo Nazi party became kingmakers: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62913356

What are the relevant enacted laws by the current government and what are being reviewed for enactment? Regards the OP I assume the man was arrested / removed for disrupting an Official Government Event. So far as I know nothing incorrect with the response.

I was being constructive to end the childishness concerning a credible link to a claim by another member - why the member declined to cooperate I do not know. No dobt there are examples of white gangs in UK murdering non whites. Presonally I recall the days of cowardly '<deleted> bashing.'. As I observed a great deal of flaming / childish behaviour in this topic. What benefit is to be gained to yet again raise the issue of Enoch Powell's speech which has been 'debated' a number of times on this forum? Just a repeat of prior commentary - same old merry-go-round.

The one below. PAUL BRACCHI investigates the brutal murder of Shea Gordon, 17, on the streets of lawless London | Daily Mail Online A lot of childish behaviour with this topic. A good idea for Mods to shut it down as just going around and around.

Early days, but new OZ PM is on the right track.

Signalled US military decision making & timing, a matter that he had hevily critisied, unjustly, during his run for presidency.

trump carried on with existing US military involvement with overseas wars as well as negotiaiting with terrorists, whilst excluding the exisiting government. He also signalled intent contrary to US strategic interests. Yes, IS was mostly destoyed whilst he was in power, but that was just a continuation os existing strategy. Unfortunately he attempted to betray the Kurd who were the main infrantry combatants against IS. So far as I'm aware Biden Administration has not committed US forces to any new war or generated new threats.

Agree. trump is not isolated to US politics nor insulated from world affairs - unfortunately he's an influencer on the world stage - IMO it will a huge negative for USA and world stability should he again win the Presidency.

Details at link below. Many are on the opinion the increase is insufficient, cost of living has noticeably increased. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-05/large-increase-for-welfare-recipients/101404804

Do you think the MAGA crowd actually believe trump is speaking the truth - if so they would truly have to be stupid. Perhaps it's just expressing support for trump's anti government / anti institution ideology - remember trump appointed people to departments who actually had zero qualifications for the role and were intent on destroying them. trump has made it very clear he's only interested in people loyal to him as the priority, not to the Constitution, trump is in fact the "Enemy of the State".

Already happening on the source of misinformation and lies, TruthSocial' Palin defeat immediately denounced as election fraud on Trump’s social media platform (msn.com)

IMO practicing the Christian faith and delaring nationalsim are contradictions. It appears to me, Cristianity, at the very least the evangelical movement in the USA, has been throughly corrupted by politics. So long as Catholic Canon Law is permitted as a parrallel legal system in Western democracies, IMO should not be provided with charity / religious order status, must solely abide to Common Law.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) has documented how major Republican donors have funnelled millions of dollars of “dark money” into the Federalist Society each year to push what he calls “an anti-regulation, anti-union, and anti-environment agenda”. Thus, for all its power and influence, the Federalist Society is in many ways simply a tool through which to implement a series of right-wing agendas. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/6/29/the-federalist-society-architects-of-the-american-dystopia

Who knows the reality behind the murder and it's intended target. Likely will never know the truth, but an excellent excuse for Putin to esculate the killing and destruction in the Ukraine.

trump has completely lost the plot with his attacks on the FBI. trump's abuse of 'free speech' is astonishing. That people still support him is unbelievable. Recent example of trump's BS.. "The law enforcement of our country has become that of a Third World nation and I do not believe that people will stand for it. Never in our country's history has there been a time where law enforcement has been so viciously and violently involved in the life and times of politics in our nation. They have no shame. They are destroying our country." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/a-former-fbi-agent-discusses-threats-against-the-agency-since-the-search-of-trumps-home

trump did not acheive normalising relations with N.K.

You're correct to highlight buying power, though one of the current largest cost overheads is housing affordability. A rough indicator for average income for full time employment is currently around AUD1800.00 p.w., less outside of city areas, more for remote miniing and so on. I live in a tourist are, my stepson earns $75k p.a., four days a week as a cook. Cost of living has esculated as businesses are seeking to recover from losses from Covid, though wages do not reflect price increases nor do increases in welfare payments. Unemployment is very low at 3.5%. https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/labour/earnings-and-working-conditions/average-weekly-earnings-australia/latest-release Oz has a relatively low welfare payment regeime, so if you didn't own a home in Oz, Thailand could be attractive, though I suspect many Western single men in Thailand experience loneliness, buying companionship will quickly become a turnoff. In Oz there are those who have been negatively identified in this OP as there are in any country, but one is not obliged to socialise with them - some of the comments are totally over the top. Happiness comes from within, to be reliant on others to enjoy life is a receipe for misery.

Never understood why the Covid payments ripoff by corporates was not prosecuted - assume some legal loophole. At the very least the likes of Obeid pay the price for their coruption, little accountability in Thailand. Remember the billions of tablets imported by hospital directors being onsold to yaba producers, don't recall even one conviction or the police murdering a 17 year old, convicted, then released to disappear etc etc

Disagree, Oz corruption is no comparison whatsoever to Thailand. e.g. in Thailand reaches down to everyone. in their daily life e.g. want a phone line - hand out. Want timesly response for doco from Amphur - hand out, etc etc etc
