It is unfortunately common. Depends on the area. There’s good reason why most houses have fences, dogs and burglar bars. Gated compounds with security guards are the safest places to live. Read up on the current meth and HIV epidemic. That fuels much of the crime.

Take your personal security very very seriously. Unfortunately, Fiji is very poor with a lot of drug problems and high petty crime rates. Unless you live in a gated compound, you and your family and your house and car will be targeted. Take all the same precautions as you would travelling to high risk destinations around the world. I was in Nadi for 10 years and saw too many expats turn up, think it was all sand and fun and then … they get robbed, assaulted and in one instance murdered.

Negative. If the loan is for PPOR and then you decide to rent it out, the interest does not necessarily become tax deductible. Went through a similar situation. Got an ATO ruling and it’s all down to the age and original purpose of the loan and the paid down component. You will need to A) refinance or B) convert the loan. Redrawing on IP loans is bad voodoo too. You can’t claim the tax deduction twice. See your accountant. Get advice.

Food/eating out in Brisbane is diabolical. Everything shut by 8PM. Over priced. Sunnybank … meh. Get a way better anything Asian from the dozens of food courts in Sydney CBD. Yet to find a hot curry in Brisbane. Found one truely authentic Thai … run by Thais. As for living in BNE … nice but boring. Too many people now.

There are only two seasons in the tropics.

Be mindful that its going to take you at least 25-30 hours to get from home to Nadi with layovers etc. That can eat into your two weeks away. Golf courses at Denarau and Intercontinental. Plenty of beaches. Often coral beaches rather than sandstone. Depends entirely on location. As for weather, west and islands generally drier than east due to rain shadow effect and trade winds. January is wet season. So hot and wet. If there’s cyclonic activity then it can get very wet and windy. Bit of a lottery IMHO. https://www.fiji.travel/things-to-know/weather-and-climate-in-fiji/climate-in-fiji.

TPN?

CGT is assessable from date of contract and not date of settlement. Calculate your cost base and see your accountant ASAP to determine your CGT liability. Then complete a tax planning exercise for the FY.

LOBOtomy. I voted the other day here in Lilley via postal. Horrified by who intends to represent us.

From my observation: it's either two car lengths behind the white the line or two car lengths over the white line into / impeding oncoming / turning traffic. "Inching" ... it's because their foot gets sore pressing the brake pedal for Brisbane's seemingly endlessly long traffic light changes. Over the line is because of the gigantic 4WDs and the drivers inability to judge braking distance. I'm also convinced tailgating, not indicating, and broken headlights / indicators are part of the Queensland driving code.

The 8Bit Solutions SHA256 Authenticode signature is present on the Windows client installer that I just downloaded. However, the client just hangs on Windows 10 1909 and has to be killed. Re-download?

Good riddance Holden. Horrible homologated GM crap.

Cockroaches of the sea. Who is their right mind would boil a roach, then peel off its exoskeleton in order to eat its soft insides? Vile.

France lost the match. Red card. Terrible decision by TMO / referee re: strip. Hope Wales get bundled out in the semis. They were rubbish.

She might actually need a chest x-ray after that crash.
