Any new laws / benefits since new Govt?

[georgegeorgia]

I see Labor party has been in 18 months in power now in Australia

 

Is there changes which has affected or benefit us as expats or better services 

 

I'm hoping ,I really am that this 2 year portability is quashed eventually,surely there will be a change somewhere 

 

I'm not getting political as I usually vote Liberal but I do like this current government and I'm putting faith into them

At your age you should have realised that the libs and labour pretty much think the same, no mate they won't change anything in the near future and if they do it won't benefit you.

Why would they change something that will cost them a lot of money, most expats (non residents) cannot vote, so it's not a threat to them, so why change things if it's not a threat.

 

I do believe it was 12 months at one stage, not 100% sure on that, but suck it up, others have gone to the front line and so will we, you just got to plan it well beforehand and do your time, could be worse, you could be going to the Bangkok Hilton ????
