  1. Centrelink international toll free call number from Thailand: 001 800 611 4136
  2. A criteria for obtaining Oz Old Age Pension is you would need to return to Oz to apply, plus live onshore for two years for portability elegibility.
  3. Oz govt Covid entry requirements... https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/covid19
  4. OK. I am of course referring to those who have committed egregious sexual crimes.
  5. Do you support law enactment of life sentences - without release - for those convicted of child sex offences?
  6. Great - best wishes for the future...
  7. I cannot accurately answer your questions as wll depend on the policies of your specialist. I didn't undergo a test evaluation of the device, the go ahead for my implant was based on a urine flow test and my feedback concerning quality of life issues i.e. being wakened 7/8 times a night with 'urgency pressure', but unable to actually urinate. My operation took about 30 minutes under general anesthetic which required an overnight stay for recovery. In my case the after operation review was over the phone. I have had a further operation to replace the device battery which is usually once very five years. Again cross check the lead to be implanted is compatible for MRI infrastructure at the hospital in case MRI is required at some point in the future.
  8. In fact my implant was covered in full by Medicare. There would be a few other hospitals in Australia providing the procedure, but in my instance the procedure was at QE11 Hospital In Brisbane. The specialist does have a private practice, his name is Anthony Kiosoglous Tel: +61 (0) 7 3720 6960. He's a good guy, mention my name - Peter from Noosa. https://www.healthshare.com.au/profile/professional/169150-dr-anthony-kiosoglous/#overview
  9. The cost for the sacral modulator is more than double the cost for a private patient in Oz - so much for lower fees in Thailand!
  10. from the OP: Chairat Chaison, 42, was arrested and taken to the Lumpini police station where he was charged with causing grievous bodily harm and weapon's offences.
  11. No issues with daily life, My device is implanted in my lower back with no discomfort, therefore no lower back massage. Be aware going through screening, such as airports requires you to notify security who need to to carry out physical ckeck, not electronic. Also need to ensure the lead attached to the modulator inside your body is MRI compatible. The specialist will assist with setting up the configuration which is managed by a bluetooth external device, The battery needs to be replaced approx every five years which requires a minor operation to replace.

  12. Here in Australia I had a history of urine retention after a radical prostatectomy, being woken many times at night with 'urgency', but no urine flow etc. I had the same urine flow test as uou a few times without a solution being identified. Eventually a urology specialist recommended a sacral neural modulator implant which has resolved my issues. https://www.neuromodulation.com/fact_sheet_sacral_neuromodulation Being Australia there was no cost involved, though I understand the cost in the privare sector would be around $20k, You may like to check out if the expertise / technology is available in Thailand or the thoughts of a NZ specialist as to suitability for your circumstances.
  13. I have had the injections in Australia, to resolve my issue required three injections in each eye over a period of time, then follow up reviews every six months. With the first injection I had a severe allergic reaction to the antiseptic, so changed the chemical for further injections and was fine. Hopefully you can have a test to see how the eye reacts before the procedure as the allergic reaction I experienced lasted for hours and was extremely unpleasent.
  14. For the UN to take action requires approval from the Security Council; that will not occur with PRC right of veto, combined with ASEAN policy of non interference.
  15. Advice from K Bank doesn't make sense as pension payments are sent directly from Reserve Bank of Australia in order that the exchange rate is not negatively impacted by a third party. You may wish to clarify with RBA if from time to time they actually utilise Citibank as an intermediary for pension payments into Thai banks.
  16. It has been reported the large majority of Covid cases are entering from Russia and a 'stan'. One can only assume compliance papers are not rigourously checked at boarding.
  17. Thai Muslims have been visiting and working in KSR for decades. Thai government actually assists Thai Muslims to attend Haj. A Thai Muslim is appointed to advise the King, plus Thai Muslims have acheived senior appoitments such as CIC Thai Army and National Police Chief. The deep South is primarily an ethnic conflict, not an Islamist insurgency.

  18. Question answered above. I assume you already know, but just in case, the URL below provides insight into context of the legislation. .. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10-04/bikie-gangs-by-colours/4999510 No more dialogue.
  19. Showing your ignorance, for your education... https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/martin-niemoeller-first-they-came-for-the-socialists
  20. Utterly rediculous comparing W.A. government anti Oganised crime gangs legislation to Nazi Germany.
  21. Yesterday 97 deaths attributed to Covid across Australia. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jan/29/australia-records-97-covid-deaths-as-victoria-detects-son-of-omicron-cases
