More BS.

If you worked all your life you would have some super, yet you claim to be on an aged pension. This means you worked for "cash" thus committed fraud, or never worked at all and bludged off the tax payer.

Why do you hate Australia that much? I don't have Super because I had it all paid out and lost everything in Thailand. I just live on the pension, and I live well with my Thai wife of 22 years; she will never go back to Thailand to live. She makes 60 $ per hour how much do you make in Thailand?

    I wonder how much of it can be attributed to generous welfare systems that get taken advantage of.

    Why don't you leave the man alone and mind your own business? His lifestyle choices  have nothing to do with you!

  • Current annual cost of welfare / social services in Oz is AUD$191.8 billion. Personally I would not define welfare payments as 'generous', it is extremely difficult to live on welfare in Oz. e.g. Age

I don't.

I just hate Australia's overly generous welfare system that is being abused by people like yourself.

So, the Australian tax payer should pick up the tab for your stupidity. Is that right?

That's because what you are doing is illegal. You are renting the house off her, and she shouldn't be living there. You are committing a crime.

I make money while I sleep. Does she???? 🙂

I'm living in Thailand, you are living in Australia. I know where I would rather live. You reap what you sow.

What you are doing is illegal. Do I care, not really, but don't suggest I hate Australia when the main reason you like Austr4alia is for the gravy train it provides. A train that I pay for.

If she is making $60 an hour your pension would be reduced dramatically under the income test. Your wife's income is part of that.

It's called the aged pension. 😂

You have contradicted yourself.

You said you are still earning from opal / lease / rent, which means you have to put in a tax return.

I smell BS.

Not sure what you smell like but I imagine it's similar to BS, it's cause in your sad case is an oral infection, probably incured during your mating habits some yrs back now. Tax is optional, I choose not to pay, as does WMC,BHP, RIO etc. Enough examples of your ignorance of small time fossicking /mining and etc, your remaining posts replies of the late show nothing but clueless replies to me n others. Go refresh your boring repertoire Khun, so long it's Saturday in party Pratumnak🎉

Hard to tell truth from fiction with this bloke. I'm leaning towards fiction. He claimed to have won a million in Lotto not too long ago.

Computer data bases are starting to communicate with each other in Australia.

Many can expect to hear from the ATO and Centerlink in the future.

No, nothing to do with Robodebt.

More to do with being outside of Australia for more than 183 days a year, therefore a non resident for tax purposes, thus 30% tax from #0 to $135,000, and no exemption for pension, which are deemed an income.

No need for Robodebt when Immigration inform Centerlink, and they simply withhold the 30%, and how can you argue you are still a resident of Australia for tax purposes when you live in Thailand full time?

How does someone who claims to have worked for the public service until 70 not pay any tax???? Just BS.

Ofcourse PAYG, your swapping about as per usual, no tax on the opal was my point, and why you figure one can't hold down job and sell opal too, guess you not multi skilled altho you do troll on many threads...
