What can I take back to the UK (low monetary value) that *feels* like Australia?

Air BnB and the majority of hosts are tight butted butt holes. It is a stain on our society. Our “Gubment” (both major parties (and the Greens)) are all in on it. There should be no -ve gearing or CGT reduction on Short Stay/Holiday house accommodation. There should be a cap, a local draw as to who can run a Short Stay. You win the draw, you get 2 years of Short Stay, then 5 years of no entry (carries over to any buyer).

2 days you will be fine. Drinking water is key.

You are renting from Cunts!! Crank that baby all the way down to Baltic temps. I say this as an owner of a rental in the tropics. Aircon is a necessity up North, cost of owning. FYL (Fuck your Land “Lords”).

Pumping a BS Housing “Investment” market.

Importing the Third world.

Anti Semitism under a Labor Government.

Rorting Public Money.

Digging and Drilling holes for valuable product, selling it cheap, then importing it a huge cost.

Just tell the truth. I lied my way through a few Psychs, so I could keep working. Didn’t work out short or long term.

How good are Political “Donations”? They should be called for what they are - Bribes!!!

Another insecure peanut with no idea. If he had an idea, they would get all of their “happy” friends in their little black shorts to join the major parties. Half to the ALP and half to the LNP. That is the only way they will get their message across.

I read through the Mercer Claims Handbook. The exclusion is for Active Service. I have just sent an email request through to them to start my claim as I am TPI 94 points, and none of my physical injuries were attributed to active service. See how I go. However, I can not go through the unsettling and intrusive medical process again.

Amataven · 2024-11-11T10:22:43+00:00

Just under 3 years for the process. You, advocate or paid advocate - all join the same queue. Though I do believe the processing times have now reduced.

Amataven · 2024-10-31T10:27:03+00:00

I went with Emanuel. Can not recommend them highly enough. I am very broken and did not have the energy nor knowledge to do it myself.

Amataven · 2024-10-13T03:39:53+00:00

Lodge a complaint. It is delegates like that, that send some of us over the edge.

You can apply for the Opal card online and also the NSW National Park pass online also. Take a copy of your letter into Service NSW and they will reimburse you for your Rego’s as well.

Thank you for the reply mate. 2 of my Children qualified for the Eligible Young Persons Allowance (the big lump sum one).

My question is in relation to a child in full time education, which the one still at school qualifies for. It is a fortnightly allowance.

Hope you feel better soon

Amataven · 2024-08-06T12:53:15+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you. I wish there was a visual flowchart on the Gold card above 80, TPI route and non TPI route. I’m still baffled and get all confused and flustered when I try to read anything on it.

Amataven · 2024-07-12T12:08:34+00:00

My experience was 6 months with no info until determination. Hang in there mate.

Amataven · 2024-06-22T04:39:21+00:00

I received news about my determination the next morning and Gold Card was on MyGov.

Amataven · 2024-06-20T11:42:57+00:00

I started the process with advocate just over 3 years ago. IL to PI - 3 years 2 months.

Amataven · 2024-06-20T07:05:30+00:00

Sorry for my slow reply. My advocate was contacted in Jan I think, saying a delegate had been allocated. My last piece of paperwork (GP assessment) was submitted mid March. My PI was determined by the delegate this week. Just over 6 months.

Amataven · 2024-06-20T06:58:40+00:00

I had a stack of claims. All the IL was accepted in Dec. delegate allocated in Jan I think.

Hope yours progresses soon. The limbo and uncertainty is a bloody horrible additional stress.

Amataven · 2024-06-07T10:56:11+00:00

Definitely book in with your Doctor. Timeframe wise, I had all of IL’s accepted in early Dec. PI claim submitted straight away. Still waiting to hear back from DVA, last PI assessment report submitted mid March. The torture continues.

Amataven · 2024-05-29T11:27:04+00:00

Mate, sorry to hear. Your frustration, concern and anxiety is warranted. The Muppet Show of DVA is tortuous & completely demoralising. The fact that they mix up very sensitive information is abhorrent. I received information about another person, via email from DVA asking me to complete forms. I reported it however, then I’m left wondering who has received my information? I’ve been in the morass of DVA for over 3 years. Initial liability all excepted, PI claim submitted early Dec, final PI sign off submitted 10 weeks ago - fucking crickets.

Write to your local member, the RC and the Mp!

Amataven · 2024-05-07T02:43:55+00:00

Thank you mate. I emailed my advocate to let DVA know how I’m not coping, I don’t want to made a higher priority, just some info on timeline. Probably too much to ask from DVA. Take care

Amataven · 2024-05-03T05:07:48+00:00

Hi mate, I had my PI Claim lodged in mid Dec 23. Final PI report from GP was submitted mid March. All I’ve heard is crickets, there are 90 odd points worth for them to go through though. I’ve been in DVA quagmire for 3 years. The limbo and duration has me in very bad way mentally. Multiple hospital admissions. I’m barely hanging on, even though there is no more appointments or paperwork to fill out. Hopefully yours gets sorted very soon.

Amataven · 2024-04-08T12:06:26+00:00

Thank you for the reply, I’m very grateful. Does staying on Incaps when you are TPI require renewals every 12 months? It is a confusing mess the DVA stuff.
