Reflecting On What Could Happen

[Banjo]

Reflecting On What Could Happen, and how it could effect me personally.

i) Cut back to one trip of 13 weeks a year.

This is my worst case scenario, I’d really have to reconsider my life style and think long and hard. Even turning 65 in three years is too far away to put up with this.

ii) 13 weeks away, 13 weeks in Australia.

I can handle this, just. I did 4 months away when they cut me off last year. I got some part time work, cash money, spent a lot of time catching up with things and people.

iii) Three trips of 13 weeks a year.

I’d have very little problem with this, it’s my ideal result, assuming there has to be a change for the worst.

dont fret the 13 weeks.....they wont change it.

they want globalisation.
they dont mind wasting money....look at the school fiasco. (the role of government is to pretend to fail).

i see some sort of tax or id, or some sort of security issue being applied.

I'd like them to work it as a tiered system, the longer you have paid tax in Australia, the more freedom of movement you have.
It's quite possible that there are people on the Age pension who have never paid income tax, a woman who has spent her life on home duties for example, but she can come and go as she pleases.
What's more, her husband has paid less tax as a single man for two people to benefit from it.
