Called Brisbane council and Home Affairs. - BCC only facilitates citizenship ceremonies - Home Affairs sends out invitations based on sequence, capacity - if cannot make citizenship ceremony you go to back of queue - All visas cancelled after becoming Australian citizen but that may take time...

There must be some sort of limit. Once a month ceremonies now fortnightly until they clear backlog. At this stage May/June may not be a possibility. We'll see.

Apologies if incoherent. The government should be doing more on things like companies ripping us off, drugs, criminals and making things fair for everyone. Telling me how I should bring up my child and making that into law will only encourage me to disobey because I totally disagree with the...

I don't know why I did it but I BPay'ed to Latitude 28 Degrees earlier this week. $1.95 fee for using BPay. FFS. This on top of 30% interest and $8 a month account fee. This is out of control. You can see why something needs to be done urgently.

We don't need urgent. We would like to attend ceremony May/June otherwise complicated. But you're right we should contact them and explain.

Received a call from Virgin Money security team on (03) 4052 3012. Someone trying to put a transaction for $1700 to Air Arabia. Oh that's not good. Next step he wants to send me a OTP. No you're not. He says we need to send you OTP. No you're not, I don't know who you are. He says he's from...

That's the one that is preferable and is by far the most suitable. Lots of time. But with 5-7 month waiting times for ceremony that may not be perfect. Note wife's friend passed the test end March and was invited to ceremony end of October. They used to hold monthly ceremonies but have now put...

The first only just fits but that means no delays in passport application. They do state minimum 6 weeks. I remember a few years back with daughters first passport renewal and they managed to drag everything out and we only just got passport with days to spare before going to Thailand and I...

Just reading through the approval letter. Didn't think we were going to have a smooth ride? I'm not sure how we are going to manage this one. Wife currently has 5 year Resident Return Visa from June 2024 that will be cancelled. - We are going to Thailand 4 weeks and returning 22 January 2025...

What's with the 2x bonus points and 3x bonus on same account? 2 accounts 2x bonus points and 3x bonus points Another spend $120 for 1200 bonus points Another spend $60 for 700 bonus points Another spend $130 for 1100 bonus points Nothing too exciting...

The Indian team is almost unrecognisable. Did they just lose 3-0 to NZ? The team of arrogance is getting stale. Time for new blood but who's going to step up? No rain forecast for Perth?

I have not been using app. Have 6 accounts. Used to use website version. Now started using app and find extra offers there.

Thanks. She eats too much som tum. And it's "mai aroy" without fermented crab but she has allergy to prawns/crab etc so she puts it in for flavour but doesn't eat. The first thing she does when we go to Pattaya is find som tum salad. Daughter loves it too. They're not allowed to eat this in...

Thanks @puchu. Police Check returned 10 days ago. Received call Friday from Home Affairs. Sorry I've been slack. Don't want to get photo ID. Costs ~$80 and would serve no purpose for us as wife has Thai passport. That's OK Medicare card is OK. Uploaded Police check, rent receipt and Medicare...

And that is how it should remain. Super is our money. When the government ensures that no one receives age pension (or special benefit) without having contributed to taxation then they can dictate what I can do with my money. Way too easy for someone to receive age pension in Australia...

Points sweep 3 accounts. How do you know if offer has been activated? I clicked on email, it opened up Everyday rewards, logged in with one time pin but no mention of activating offer or email confirmation.

Only since JQ mentioned direct BNE-BKK flights from next month. (Did I just say I'm excited about JQ flights? Oh how this simulation has become twisted.) We received 3 emails for $50 Qantas Hotels voucher on 3 accounts that I recently switched over to Qantas points for 500 sign up bonus...

Youtubers? Influenzers? Is this a new vaccine? Have I missed out if I don't know what I am missing? The Golden age of enlightenment!

Oh I see this is going to be fun. So I bought 10 x $100 Coles Mastercards on Saturday at 2 Coles stores. Both managers said Coles do not refund and I would need to contact the number on back of card and ask for a refund, they'll send refund to Coles and then I'd have to go to Coles and receive...
