Hi guys. May mobile passport renewal schedule pa ba sa Consulate sa Melbourne? It would be difficult to travel to Sydney or Canberra due to our baby.

Maliit lang it's near fitzroy gardens in east melbourne. I got an advice to buy a land first para mababa ang stamp duty,. Then when the land appreciates, I can use the equity to get a loan for a house.

Im thinking of spending my savings on an investment property bago ako kumuha ng sariling bahay. Do you think it would be wise? There are apartments that can go as low as 130K malapit sa city.

As much as it is inhuman to close the doors to boat people, we can just trust logic in terms of deciding whether or not to allow them in. In simplest terms, Refugees = not allowed to work = crime. Not knowing what their background is since they did …

So as far as I understand, kung wala naman akong biniling work-related items, yung PAYG lang ang importanteng makita ng ATO. I'd go for the E-Tax software then if that's the case kaysa kumuha ng accountant.

Hi guys. So far, mga 5% lang ng knowledge sa pag file ng income tax return and alam ko (di kasi ako nag file sa pinas and tax-free sa dubai). Nasa halfway na ako ng etax software then i read in this thread na pwede pang ma-maximise ng return by usin…

@cind3r3lla nagulat din ako nung makita kong halos buong Australia nasa Google maps complete with street view. Hindi ka maliligaw dito basta alam mo ng complete address ng bahay or building.

@kremitz If you're by yourself or with a partner, to put it bluntly, wala kang maaasahan sa government. Kung may dependent child, there's Family Tax Benefit. Kung may bagong baby kayo na dito ipinanganak, Baby bonus. That's all I know of.
