I Have Changed My Mind Since Oct 7 Terror Attack, Have You?
Fat chance of that happening. But then again, isn't that what AIPAC is all about? Lobby the government, get America to so their dirty work. Some people thinks it's genocide. I try not to dwell on the nonsense. It's a problem that goes back thousands of years. At this point, Israel has all the US arms it needs. Let them do what they want from here on out. -

Report Minor Quakes Signal Increased Seismic Activity on Thai-Myanmar Border
File photo for reference only The Thai Meteorological Department's Earthquake Monitoring Division has identified a series of minor tremors in Mae Hong Son, Thailand, and adjacent regions in Myanmar, signalling tectonic activity that warrants attention despite the lack of immediate damage. Early on June 6, 2025, a magnitude 1.9 earthquake was recorded at 6:10 a.m. in the Wiang Nuea Subdistrict, Pai District of Mae Hong Son Province. The epicentre was located at 19.424°N, 98.464°E, and at a shallow depth of just 1 kilometre, near residential zones. Although minor and non-destructive, this tremor is considered significant for ongoing monitoring. In conjunction with the Thai incident, Myanmar experienced three consecutive earthquakes earlier that morning, drawing increased scrutiny from Thai geologists due to their proximity to the Thai border. These events were recorded as follows: At 2:21 a.m., a 1.7 magnitude quake struck Myanmar at 19.172°N, 97.094°E, approximately 93 kilometres southwest of Mueang District, Mae Hong Son. A 2.0 magnitude earthquake was observed at 6:04 a.m. at 19.176°N, 96.540°E, about 150 kilometres southwest of Mueang District. A 2.2 magnitude tremor occurred at 7:40 a.m. at 20.925°N, 98.069°E, around 157 kilometres northwest of Pang Mapha District. The frequency of these tremors suggests ongoing tectonic movement along the Thai-Myanmar border. While the quakes are minor, their pattern of occurrence highlights the need for continuous monitoring and preparedness. Residents in affected and potentially at-risk areas are urged to remain informed via updates from the Thai Meteorological Department. Familiarising oneself with earthquake preparedness measures is recommended to ensure the safety of lives and property should more significant seismic activity occur.

Australian Aged Pension
The current laws, which are 90 years old, are a grey area. They have a lot of loopholes in them. Many Australian expats have avoided paying non resident tax for years, including myself. The proposed changes, that's the 183 day "bright line test" and the four secondary factor ,are designed to do away with complex and subjective residency for tax purposes laws and replace them with a time based, counted in days, and physical presence model, which is similar to many other countries. This will mean, no longer can one reside in Australia but claim to be a non resident for tax purposes, and no longer can one reside overseas, but claim to be a resident for tax purposes. If / when the new laws are passed, your physical presence, and for how many days, will determine your tax residency. Both Labor and Liberal will remove the current grey area with this new law, thus simplifying the laws. Given Liberal drafted the proposed changes, and Labor did not scrap them, and in fact progressed them to the consultation stage, show they will be passed in parliament with little to no opposition, although Labor has said they will review the 45 days and possible increase these days. In my opinion, if they do increase these days, it would probably be to 60 days or similar, so, if you wish to remain a tax resident of Australia, thus benefiting from the tax free threshold, one will need to be prepared to stay in Australia for 45 days, or possible a little longer, and be able to meet two of the four factor tests. No grey area at all. Immigration records will show you are inside or outside of Australia, and for how long, thus a resident or non resident for tax purposes. No reviews, no appeals, no exemptions. All very simple. -
