Advance Australia Where?

Wheres my passport............

IA - today

An economy being wrecked; warlike skirmishes with Indonesia nearing; Niugini likely to expel our cruel colonising tormentors of children from their shores; a U.S. Secretary of State denouncing our global warming policy; the Iranians condemning our record on human rights; a High Commissioner, Labor and competent, sacked and replaced by a fatuous tory suspected of war crimes; a Health Minister assisting the chocolate industry and misleading parliament; Australia derided world-wide and a thousand more days of this to come.

“Wheres my passport............”   “the Iranians condemning our record on human rights”

So I take it you’ll be giving up your residence here and give it to one of the Iranian economic refuges on Manus Island, and then seeking asylum in Iran.

So what is delaying the departure?

I mean, if you honestly believe that we, as a nation, are so contemptible that we are not worthy of your company on retirement, why not leave now.

geez tallb, its nothing personal and has been our long term plan for a long, long time - nothing to do with the nation being anything at all - nothing to do with politics at all and retirement is the delay.

A total of 91 761 people indicated that they left Australia permanently in 2012-13,

Reasons for emigration

The decision to leave Australia is usually based on a complex and varied set of reasons.

Overseas-born emigrants may return to their country of birth because of feelings of homesickness or insecurity, especially those who leave within a year or two of arriving in Australia. Older emigrants sometimes depart after they retire. Widowhood and divorce can also motivate departures. Younger immigrants may also return to their country of birth because they are needed by their family in their former country.
