Lower if there is conflict in the south china sea. Those surviving here on the OAP need to start right now putting a plan in to place on how to survive when the exchange rate is 10-15baht to the dallar. Not late at all. I have agreed with you in the past on this. Then, there's also the proposed changes to non resident tax enforcement, but that's in another thread. I have suggested that moving to a more affordable country may be the only option for many, that would be Cambodia for most, or, to the village in Thailand, to live out one's days in a pitiful manner.

Do I get free health care in Thailand or Cambodia? Absolutely not. It would consume most of my pension.

The money to service such debt has to come from somewhere, either in tax revenue, or cost cutting, which means all Australians either pay more, or lose an amount of services.

I can see you have been in the bar at 9am on Leo again. That said, driving Austin Healey's is what sent Holden packing in Oz. So, you prove my point.

Do you own a mine? Australians are / were paying more for electricity / gas than people overseas, and they are burning Australian coal / gas to get cheaper energy than Aussie are, and it's in Australia's own back yard. Wonderful, isn't it? Tell the pensioner this winter who has to chose between heating and eating how "lucky" they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give those pensioners some advice. They need it. What is it? Would your advice be to start eating canned dog food, like they did in the 80's? Yeah, remember that? Tell them how lucky they are to live in the Lucky Country while you are living in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the emoji on her back vomitting kHuns old news stories from the old days in 'strayla', You were still a tadpole then KH! Certainly wasn't a tadpole. I remember when Australia really was the Lucky Country. A decent day's work for a decent day's pay, and families got ahead. Hubby's wage would cover everything, with some left over for a domestic holiday each year. Mum could stay home and look after the kid, so they weren't raised by strangers in a day care facility. Now, kids and grand kids can't even afford to buy a modest house in the suburbs, and it's all by design. The sad thing is, the cost of the money successive governments have borrowed, over decades, through the interest, means we are still borrowing. Check it out. https://australiandebtclock.com.au I suppose you are going to say they eat too much "smashed av." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
