CV and mad panic behaviour

[PaulP]

Couldn't agree more, GTC.  Appearance and quality, today, can go an get stuffed it seems. There was an ugly development in Cranbourne only a few years ago and the cladding started falling off after 12 fckn months!!!!

The quality of builds today is alarmingly crap. I've watched a few new developments here on the Island and holy mackerel... cheap materials and so many short cuts. And kids Karchering rooves without scaffolding protection...!!! When I left the Navy in '76 I worked on building sites with my father and my brother-in-law who was a builder... every stage of the build had a council inspector go over it with a fine tooth comb. Not today. Standards are rooted.

Neo liberal, cut-red-tape, "small government" crap, which has been generally adopted by Labor as well, in a slightly modified, "lite" version.

When the prime goal of organisations is to maximise profits above all else then the scene is set for the delivery of cr@p to customers at inflated prices.

Time to put a stop to these screwen high rise and multi story appartments going up everywhere.

Bass Shire has seen the population treble as holiday home owners etc have moved there to escape the crowded city., sucks for locals as its put pressure on the local infrastructure. Reckon post CV we will see a rise in folk moving to the country, more getting jobs where they can work at home and inner city living becoming less popular.
Will Australians ever stop selling out to overseas entities?

What one might loosely call a "market correction"

LP.  There is a reciprocal arrangement between the UK and Australia insofar as that applies to our medicare and their NHS.  That's been going for many years.  She can easily fund her retirement and wouldn't take the pension.  In short, no economic cost.  Compare that to "citizens" from a few other countries that bludge on us. :'(

All the people I know who have been rejected would be self-funded and investing in businesses, one has won several of the Queen's awards for export and services to the country. Australia still knocked him back as a health liability. This is just in the last couple of years.

OK .... Personally, I know of none mate.  I'm married to an American and she was put thru the wringer when it came to U.S health checks before she got her permanent residency approval, but it seems a travesty for the people you know not to have been cleared.

You're married.

These are retiring / semi-retiring UK citizens wishing to emigrate for retirement, not the same as a spouse or parent wanting to join family out here as an Australian citizen.

I can only go by what she's told me ... and she has spoken to immigration

I was staggered to read the other day that the Italians didnt tell everyone to stay home until 800 people had died. Having been to Italy several times and having hundreds of relos there, I am not surprised one bit.
