  1. If / When China stops purchasing our minerals, either due to economic conditions, competition, or as a strategic move, either for short term or long term, Australia will head towards becoming a banana republic. Our economy relies too heavily on China now, and The Chinese know it. It should never have got to this point.
  2. The advice I gave, and some others, was due to you saying you would like to go back to Thailand to live in the future. I wouldn't had given the advice I did, if you were going to live in Australia for the foreseeable future.
  3. Which can have consequences. Which is interesting if you have a Thai wife. She might just see a solicitor on the side and make a will leaving YOUR two houses not to YOU, should she pass first. Perhaps you are renting the property you bought, but put in your wife's name, for cheap rent. I don't know, and I don't care, but as you said, "I tell lies" and government data bases are now chatting to each other like never before. Just for the record, are you stating what you are doing is completely legal, or not?
  4. Which makes the AUD stronger to the Thai Baht, but not necessarily stronger in general.
  5. The Thai government will be happy with this news. A bit more in their kick as well. Why would the Australian government seek to stop donating to a foreign government?
  6. Yeah, I know, but you don't have to put up with bar hopping, and all the different associated bar BS and prices from different bar owners to meet up with a girl. Sometimes I couldn't be bothered and just pick up the phone.
  7. I note the words "for me" meaning, just yourself, not everyone is the same, and "the fun I had" meaning past tense, probably before smart phones and apps. What you describe used to be fun, because it was the only show in town, pre smart phones and apps. Now, it can be quite a laborious and expensive task. We all know the tricks. The one pretty girl welcomes you to the bar and hands you off to the other staff that are either old, overweight, unattractive, or all of these. I just turn around and walk out, because even if you buy that one and only pretty girl in the bar a lady drink, it's gone in 30 seconds and she's out the front of the bar again doing the same, because that's her role in the business. Gogos the same. Buy one a drink and it's gone 30 seconds later and she says she has to get back on stage and dance again. Who says you can't chose one for the night off an app? Short time / Long time, it's available and all negotiable, just like meeting them in a bar. I always ask for their LINE ID and do a video call with them. If it goes well, we go for drinks, music, dancing, and then back to my place. We all know once you "chose a girl for the night" you get her out of her own bar. Not much different, except no lady drinks and bar fine involved. It's like a dating website, but with a guaranteed result at the end of the night, and we know how popular dating websites are around the world. I still go to bars, the odd gogo, gentleman's clubs, and occasionally Soi 6, but I now have several girls in my LINE contact list that I "chose" initially off an app, and I am happy to see about 90% of them again for another night out whenever I want. You don't have to go to their place of employment right on 6pm to pay the bar fine. Everyone is different. Some like short time, some like long time, some like what I call anonymous s*x, like you get in a soapy. That's no chit chat and drinks at all. Smart phones and the apps have just added another option for mongers. Some guys don't like the non a/c bars. Some guys don't like the loud music and style of music in many bars. Some guys don't like how pushy for drinks the bar girls can be. Some guys don't like bar hopping for hours looking for their "one for their night." Some guys have mobility issues. Not everyone using an app to get a girl is a Cheap Charlie. Sometimes I have paid more for a girl off an app than a short / long time bar girl, but the girls have been very attractive, humorous, and good company. Gradually, I have seen more attractive girls go to the apps, than to work in businesses here. Not saying that's a good or bad thing. Just saying this is what I have noticed over some time.
  8. A lot of attractive girls are working online these days. They don't have to worry about lady drinks and bar fine quotas, and penalties for not meeting their quotas. They don't have to stand around a nightclub all night with ridiculously loud music that they don't like. They don't have to dance on a pole for hours. They don't have to sit around the bar all shift fighting over the few customers that come in. They chose when they want to work, who they want to go with, and set their own price. They can even be on a night out with their friends and have some messages come in and they leave for an hour and come back to their night out with friends. I have seen this first hand. The attractive girls have realized they are the business, not the bar, nightclub, or gogo, and they are now freelancing on the internet. The quality is not in the bars, in the clubs, or on the stages anymore. It's online. Some of their prices can be a little high, but take out lady drinks and the bar fine, and the fact you can meet them anywhere you like, there ends up being not much difference in price. Not sure what businesses here can do in order get the attractive girls, other than pay them a lot, which means drink prices, lady drink prices, and bar fine prices all increase, which then makes even more people have a look online at the apps. Bar owners will tell you guys like to go to bars to have fun with the girls, but you can take a freelancer into wherever you want, even a girly bar, and still have fun. Bars, nightclubs and gogos will still be here for years to come, but I don't think the attractive girls will be working in them, or out of them, which you can already see is happening.
  9. Conveniently didn't mention Australia is currently updating ALL of its tax treaties with over 40 countries, some of which set out Australia,as the source country, has taxing rights on pensions, but hey, why consider the future?
  10. Why do you say that? I could accept your comment after the May budget, but not before. Aren't we past the "scaremongering" label for the proposed changes? The current Labor government is running with them, and given it was the previous Liberal government who proposed them, who is going to vote them down? It's just a matter of time before they are passed, by either political party who puts them to parliament.
  11. This the unknown factor in the equation, life expectancy. Live to a ripe old age in Thailand, and the 2 years back in Australia for the pension was worth it. Die not long after the 2 years back in Australia and it wasn't worth it. That said, their is a sense of entitlement, and rightly so. Why let the government off the hook for it?
  12. Which would be illegal, and if / when they catch up with him, not only is there the fine, but he'll have to pay it all back. Actually, for a case like this, he very well may be criminally charged with fraud.
  13. Some may say the fools are the ones that work all their life, just to give the money to those that have never worked a day in their life.
