That's what i said first time in soi 23 in 2008 'n' wot i thought when i got here the other day....wow wottaspot orrite. G'day everyone...I'm a 61yo bloke 'n' been on DSP since late 2000 had a review 2002 and no further contact other than "Thanks mate (name witheld) enjoy ya holiday."
Until 2-3 days ago i had never heard of JCA;s SSAT etc. The unsolicited DSP forms i woz given were filled in, submitted and according to the ombudsman's definition (see link somewhere else on forum) I received my DSP by manifest grant?? Can anyone expand on this term for me please??
After the 2012 budget 'n' talk of the six week rule,better portability for older DSPer's etc i ring 'em ta make sure. "No worries mate, don't apply to you, long as ya like. same ol' same ol'......(until Jan'12 omitted) 'n' off i went Aug-Nov The following is wot got me to here...."G'day xxx i'm off again till Sept." xxx"I'll just fix that.......I've sent a request to your local office for your re-assessment." Wotthe....long conversation re new rules my age. situation etc etc... xxx"and International Services will be giving you a call shortly. Thaanks enjoy your day" That was last Wednesday mornin'. $%&@ me!!!
Good ol' Google tossed yaz up 'n' here I woz 'n' here i am. Discretion won out over valour and i rescheduled to fit the guidelines. How embarassing... explaining to our adopted families that our free wealthy first world western democratic society isn't free democratic or wealthy at all. I have tried to explain this to them before but you know just laugh..."sure,sure luung mhee tam dtlok yai mai". Their drop in overseas aid from us maybe not such big joke for them mai na kharp. We deserve to be at least acknowledged for our ambassadorial roles and providers of overseas aid on the ground to villagers sometimes in dire need...the ol' lady you buy sticky rice 'n' blah take mango her gin kow ton-chow. 10-15000 she not have before but now rely on...because have very good friend falang come everyday. Grandaughter go school can/cannot.....the flow on effect. So just how much unseen money exactly do we boost the country's overseas aid budget by and to what extent. Does anyone know, does anyone care? Doesn't anyone in decision making use common sense anymore? So much for long story short eh.
Phone call to modify travel plans "Firstly; you have an "alert" for rent assistance. Do you want it?" "No I own my own home. It's in the file, it's always been in my file." I was urged on a few occasions whilst my plans were being "modified" to have the new assessment done regardless so as not to hamper any travel plans into the future, then "Sorry my system can't seem to access your file, I'm putting you to the top of a que, someone will be with you shortly ................thank you for callin' C/L............click"International Services zzz speaking, how may I help you to day" Told zzz where I was up to, "No worries mate just let me cancel those assessments for you....what dates are you planning....yep all good, disregard any mail other than your right to travel letter nothing to worry about. Enjoy your holiday." I smell a rat....somethings stirring in the bowels of the beast.....to me it seems as though it is trying to gain re-assessment of us through stealth when none of the other ploys to draw out malingerers worked. No I never applied to any and why would I have..... I was then, am more so now will be disabled till the n.
I was born here, I worked in state govt jobs that contributed to my disabilities; WHS if there was such a thing; woulda been havin' kittens, paid taxes for 34 years and literally wore myself out building critical infrastructure for this country and I demand my fair share of it's resource wealth. Oops sorry...little bit carried away there, you can't help me with that can you. That'll still qualify me for new rules in 2014 for something i read about somewhere here. New rules always new rules.....is it any wonder native peoples dislike their overseers so much. Can never make a deal and keep it!!
I run into an ol' mate o' mine in late 2007 and he asked me; if I could do whatever I wanted for three months what would I do. "Go to Asia in the winter". "Well go then, ya kenya know 'n' stretch it out to six if ya wanna." Being uninformed made me lose five good years and reassessment may have tipped me over the edge,so nice to be here.......wow wottaspot!!!
Count me in 'n' that's it I'm done 'n' off in two weeks
Cheers Bear.
