    Very quick with the "Not Correct".

    It depends on the airline.

    Some will ask for nothing.

     

    Some will require onward flight WITHIN 30 days.

     

    Some will allow 60 with the "plan of extension" explained.

     

    Some will allow you to sign a waiver.

     

    Flown multiple airlines and have never been questioned

    That is partially true but he did not realise that he could not legitimately keep the increases on his return - the payments revert to the previous frozen level. 

    I would investigate further if that is actually the case. My understanding is the increase becomes permanent and portable after 6 months

    And will his  600k super effect getting full pension? 

    In order to receive full Age Pension payments, your assets will need to be below the following limits (assuming you are being assessed under the Assets Test and not the Income Test). If you are a member of a couple, your combined assets are assessed against the relevant limits:

    If you believe the marked is solid for another 10 years, that would be a good idea, but we do not know that, do we? We will have an correction and a recession sooner or later, what then? 
     

    What would guaranteed give him safety for the next 10 years is the question. Going back to Australia? Keep his relations to Australia ?
     

    Anly stupidity makes someone cut loose from their origin country if they do not have enough funds or living sustainable without taking to much out of their funds, or letting marked corrections and inflation eat up their funds. 
     

     

    The market has never been solid. It always goes up and down. the returns are an average over a period usually 7-10 years. nothing on the horizon to suggest pending catastrophe. If you plan well you will have a buffer to see you through the downturns.

    Rubbish! You have no evidence to support the first assumption

    secondly "It is only a 'road death' if the person dies at the road side." - is simply not true. I suspect you have no idea who gathers statistics or or how it is done.

    "Many groups in Thailand believe that the real number is up to 50% higher." - really - which "groups" are these.

     

    This is typical of the ignorance and nonsense talked about road safety in Thailand.

    both the public and those in charge simply have o idea, yet there are several organisations, both national and international, that are taking abscientiic approach to road safety yet they are completely ignored.

     

    Actually what he said is completely true. Only those dead at the scene are counted as official road death statistics. 
    you should do some research before attacking someone’s post.

    Amitriptyline is a medicine used for treating pain. You can take it: to treat nerve pain (neuralgia) and back pain. to help prevent migraine attacks.

     

    Is your pain causing you anxiety?

    That’s a secondary use for Amitriptyline. If you did your research you will see it’s actually an old school tricyclic antidepressant. And is often prescribed as a sleeping aid.

    I just Googled Vipassana Meditation as I had no idea what it was.

    Now I know....a load of cobblers.  Sitting thinking about your problems never cured anything. And the site I read says it take a couple of years to get yourself sortrd.

    Sounds like it might do you some good as you obviously completely misinterpreted what it is about. Completely the opposite to what you said.

    Any information of a booster after a 6 months Janssen shot ?

    Phil.

    looks like its now being dumped as not effective or recommended for Omicron. Best to assume you are unvaccinated and start again with Pfizer or Moderna.

    I had a credit with them for a return flight to Brisbane, which has been useless for best part of 2 years. Because of Sydney's no quarantine, I decided to change it to there. After much looking at the website, I determined that most of the flights were being routed through BKK/HKT/SYD. Anyway I phoned them and they've put me on a direct flight to Sydney, at a slightly increased price. Hopefully I'll be able to get from Sydney to Brisbane, worst case scenario two weeks at a friends place in Sydney.

    Can freely travel from Sydney to Brisbane as of this coming Monday.

    Whatever kromnidon is (romnkcrom?) it's having an effect around the world.  Lots stuck in south africa who cannot get out.  To get back here they have to fly to another country and get a negative result.  So that's one in south africa and then find a place to transit in and get a negative test to continue on, LOL!  Pretty much impossible.  People are literally stuck there again.

     

    Everyone - everyone is over-reacting.  Many doctors say there is no way to tell what it will do.  IT could be absolutely nothing and the pandemic could by and large be over.  OR we will all be dead.  In that case, worrying about it doesn't matter.  But I see no evidence of it being bad - yet.  

     

    Thailand they are probably making wild predictions based on nothing.  And life goes on.

    Quote from the CEO of Moderna in interview with Reuters

    "I think it's going to be a material drop. I just don't know how much because we need to wait for the data. But all the scientists I've talked to . . . are like 'this is not going to be good.'"
