Australian Holiday Visa Denial - 'Settled' family member sponsorship issue
Sometimes the truth is harsh. Would you prefer to be told incorrect information just to make you feel better? It's the wrong visa to apply for. There would be little reason for you to apply for this visa in the first place, as it is generally intended for people who have been refused visas or have immigration issues, and it comes with more restrictive conditions because of this. Why did you apply for it instead of the correct visa for your circumstances? If you apply for the correct visa, you shouldn't have any issues. -

Khao San Road Feels Pinch as European Tourists Hold Off on Bookings - video
Bangkok's celebrated Khao San Road, long a hub of backpacker activity, faces a slump in hotel reservations just ahead the festive season. Khaosan Business Association President Sanga Ruangwattanakul attributes the decline to European tourists' uncertainty amidst the persisting Russia-Ukraine conflict. Coinciding with a wider downturn, reservations for the key dates of December 30 to December 31 have decreased to approximate 60%, falling from last year's 70%. European visitors, predominantly from the UK, France, Germany, and Italy, usually contribute to 80% of Khao San's tourist demographic, with a lesser proportion hailing from other Asian countries. In spite of the disappointing figures, Sanga remains positive, anticipating an influx of bookings closer to the festive period. Khao San Road, staying true to its energetic character, will host a New Year’s Eve countdown that aims to attract between 50,000 to 70,000 tourists. On an average, each tourist spends around 1,000 baht thereby potentially injecting over 70 million baht into the local economy. Christmas festivities will commence on December 24 with a splendid display of Christmas lights. Sanga is optimistic about Khao San's enduring appeal as a tourist hot-spot, although he admits that sales of alcohol, a significant contributor to revenues, haven’t been as buoyant. A lack of spending from Thai visitors, conscious of financial constraints, is a factor dimming economic vibrancy. To circumvent these financial challenges, Sanga proposes government measures to stimulate consumer spending, including tax breaks through initiatives such as Easy E-Receipt or the Khon La Khreung co-payment subsidy. He also supports plans to enhance revenues by focusing on the 5F industries — food, film, festivals, Thai boxing, and fashion — to attract more global tourists to Thailand. Despite current obstacles, hopes remain high for Khao San Road as the New Year’s Eve countdown closes in. The belief is that the celebrated strip will once again buzz with the vibrancy and dynamism that make it an essential stop on every traveller's itinerary.

So the U.S. elected an autocrat -- what to expect next from a Hungarian perspective
It is best to understand the definitions of words before using them in a post. The US has three branches of government: the Executive branch, the judicial branch, and the legislative branch. Trump cannot change this. Autocratic government A system of government where the ruler, or autocrat, has complete power. There is no system of checks and balances, and the ruler is not accountable to the people, press, or a cabinet of advisors. Autocratic governments include all forms of dictatorship and some forms of monarchy.
