I've noticed a lot of sex workers (SWers) want PR. But it got me thinking about Australia, that is, aside for money, is Australia even that great?
I would never do it though but aside for the money, what's so good about Australia that SWers wanting PR is so common? Or is it just the money since I couldn't fathom growing up in an average country.
Edit: Only individuals satisfying both the criteria of 1) and 2) may answer this.
1) Australian citizenship through birthright
2) Raised in Australia.
You must have been dropped on the head as a baby. Australia ranks near the top of the world in any measurable metric, all sorts of people from all over the world want to live here, not just sex workers.

Of course sex workers want PR, publicity, what business doesn't? It's the WHOLE reason this forum exists, word of mouth PR for sex workers. GEESH.:shout:
And until you have admin access, you don't dictate who can post.
Clean water and indoor plumbing.
Arguably, wouldn’t the preferred respondents be those that have actually chosen to make Australia their home over somewhere else?
I was once told by a taxi driver in Adelaide that it was the best place on earth and he would never consider living elsewhere - turned out he had never left Adelaide. I didn’t doubt his commitment rather his data input.
I can understand this logic but also wouldn't it make sense to make money here and set yourself up back home to live an even more comfortable life back home?Quote:

5th Generation Aussie here and it's good to see the One Nation dingbat voters show themselves.
If more people vote for One Nation next election Labor might make 100 seats.
Mr linq here probably never leave the shire in his life. Sorry, I take this back. It is disrespectful to people from the lovely neighbourhood. He probably busy wiping cow dung off his boots.
Australia is the richest country in the world. Yes, we whinge about house price and doing it tough everywhere. Yes, we are not perfect. But don't forget this, a lot of countries in this world do not have free medical care, education and access to clean water and there is absolutely no working opportunity. Precisely the reason why 50k people escaped from morocco to ceuta overnight.
Is Australia even that great?
Sydney at least is a good playground if you're rich, otherwise everything is becoming increasingly more K shaped.
Personally I am perplexed by the naivety of so many young people who think migrating to Australia will solve their problems.
And a foreign WL making so much cash tax free would be stupid to stay given the trend towards CBDCs and more stricter financial controls.
Jesus Christ 40K a month tax free. Now who wouldn't want that to keep going. Hence why wouldn't they want PRQuote:

Obviously there's a fair chance many decide it's damn nice being loaded in Australia and stick around, but I doubt it'd be a majority.
Yea but if she has the right visa, she can make bank here and go back home in her mid thirties and live as if she is a multi millionaire.Quote:

Perhaps you should learn by their example. Leave your home country, become an expat. From my understanding, like most countries, you stay out long enough, you don't pay Aussie taxes, or at least you only pay taxes on income (e.g. rent on your owned property) earned IN Ozland. Income earned outside is tax free.Quote:

To cease being a tax resident of Australia, you would generally need to depart Australia with the intention to live abroad for a minimum of 2 years, be accompanied by your immediate family/dependents, and have rented out or sold your home in Australia.
Easy, Peasy. Simple enough. You don't use any benefits of living in Australia, you don't pay taxes on the income where you're living (best if your employment is in a low tax/no tax country). Expat life can pay VERY WELL, with just a few inconveniences (dodging incoming - just keep your head down).
lol you'd think the answer would be pretty obvious and logicial but whats the point of starting this thread about whether Aus is good?Quote:

If you've been living in Aus for this long or born here or grew up here and haven't grown to appreciate Australia for what it is then why kick up a fuss on a punting forum and not just consider expat work or going to another country mate?
And mate do you wake up and look at the news and all the other countries around the world and whats happening? Yes recently the crime rates have gone up esp in melb but Aus overall is great compared to whats going on around the world and i feel blessed to be here.
Peace out... Aussie Aussie Ausssie Oi Oi Oi!!
I think your question has more to do with when they tried or got PR. I know of Thai WL who has bought PR, been in the country for more than 10 years, could retire tomorrow and live in anyone of 4 homes here or in Thailand. And I know of a more recent Vietnamese ML who was following the same route and found that she just couldn't make the payment schedule and survive in Sydney with the COL. The Australia will currently live in, whilst better than most, is ridiculously expensive if you are starting with nothing 😎Quote:
