Hello Members, The C'link/DHS system knows me well. I've had lots of trouble with them. Maybe the new replacement "Services Australia" deparment?/agency?/corp? will do betterfor me. I'm just finishing doing 2 years penalty in Aust for being outside Aust too much. Do I now just phone the overseas number to get Age pension paid permanently o'seas? Thank you, Scarred.

Welcome back scarred ......if you definitely have done the two years, that's all it should take. Maybe ask first, if that's what's showing on your file; if yes, tell them your going OS for an indefinite period, unless your not, and ask for a receipt for the call and if they'd send you out a letter of advice showing your travelling agenda. Hopefully international services will not have been restaffed with contractors. Good luck, cheers bear Please note: if you haven't got 35 years of AWLR(Australian Working Life Residency) your pension will be adjusted after 6 weeks away to reflect your years in Oz between 16 and pension age. Also after 6 weeks away your supplements will be cut.....meeting AWLR requirements should mean a fortnightly payments of $874.30 or $22,731.80 per year. www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/topics/pension-rates-payable-people-outside-australia/29791

congrats on your release from jail even if innocent in the first place. Once you clear up your total freedom please ask them and share with us their response as what your 2 years in jail achieved? If they say anything other than BLOODY NOTHING then ask them why they continue to tell lies.

I gotta legally leave Australia soon, so that I'm not forced to get a suspicious vaccine or get stomped on the face by an Orwellian boot forever. I've pasted below, possible reasons for exemptions from the ban for overseas travel - from covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/leaving-australia#toc-1 "Australians and permanent residents If you are an Australian citizen or a permanent resident you cannot leave Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions unless you have an exemption. You can apply online but you must meet at least one of the following: your travel is as part of the response to the COVID-19 outbreak, including the provision of aid your travel is essential for the conduct of critical industries and business (including export and import industries) you are travelling to receive urgent medical treatment that is not available in Australia you are travelling on urgent and unavoidable personal business you are travelling on compassionate or humanitarian grounds your travel is in the national interest." So, members, kindly give me your best ideas how to get an exemption and also tell me any gossip about the rigourness of the processing of the exemption.

Unfortunately scarred I've got nothing for achieving an exemption for any of those reasons, as they don't even appear to give any guidelines; anywhere. The world is in lockdown. www.bangkokpost.com/travel/1922028/countries-continue-to-ban-travel-well-into-junewww.healthdirect.gov.au/coronavirus-covid-19-travel-advice-and-restrictions-faqsCurrently you would be lucky to gain entry to anywhere unless you are a national of the country or involved with a Covid program delivering aid. I think in that case you'd be likely to be monitored and be obliged to return with the organisation after delivering the aid. Currently in all of S.E. Asia there is a ban on all incoming passenger flights until 30 June, unless returning nationals of the specific country. There are people living in Suvarnabhumi airport, that've been there for months. www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1920896/nigerians-stranded-at-airport-to-return-home-soon There are still 14 day isolation periods for travel within provinces and the emergency decrees in country look like being extended out to 30 June as well. I've read Britain are/were letting anyone in. Frying pan to fire springs to mind there though I think. As far as how rigorous the screening process may be.....I'd imagine UP application on steroids. P.S. IMHO Centrelink/Services Australia would be a walk in the park, compared to dealingwith the Dept. of Home Affairs and Dutton.
