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.

We don't plan on retiring here tb and don't worry i have had a word with the Prime Minister for Unemployment and let him know that we would like our 2 spots to be filled by asylum seekers.

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.
