@ghostrider,

I respect your situation but wouldn't it be more easier for your family to move in Australia?
This ruling will not break fil-australian families in the country. Instead, it may be only isolated to you or a few.

wa nimo mabasa nga mahal ang cost of living didto? ? ?

I realise the DSP is not free money but the UN charter on the disabled quotes that any disabled person from ANY country should not be limited on where he spends his money or where he can travel. The law the aussie govt are trying to implement contravenes this. Also it is only to save the aussie govt 3million pesos. It will cost the govt more by bringing these people back to australia with thier filipino families...
DSP recipients in australia get alot more govt 'freebies' than they get whilst overseas.

the new rules (if implemented) will cost the aussie govt more...
if they are implemented I will be taking my wife and kids back to australia and stop the book program. At least ive done some good here and may be able to continue it when we retire here when I'm 67. (if I'm still capable and they dont stop OLP (old aged pensions living abroad)...

but i do respect your opinion and applaud you for answering in English, salamat!

You know, back when my Aunts and Grandma went back home here, they've always told me that tax returns are not just free money, or any money from the government are free money (i.e. DSP).

When the economic crisis in the America erupted, Australia had one thing to counter it, and that is to give away money. You can spend it all you want but there's a rule, you should spend it immediately(i.e. not put it in a bank) and you should never put it out of the country. I believe the same ruling still applies but even if it didn't apply right now, you should still do it. Why? Australia needs a bigger cash flow.

It will be a more pain in the ass to the taxpayers and to the economy if the money that the government gave away went into the economy of other countries and not to the Australian government. Remember that DSPs/Tax Returns are taxpayers money.

While I gladly appreciate your help to the less unfortunate here in the country, you should not sacrifice your income for that one. What would your help do if the government has castrated your income just because you refuse to come back to the land down under just even for a few months?

The Government just wants to make sure that their money goes in the right flow. If all Australians who benefited on this one did something similar to what you are right now, there would be a huge vacuum of cash flow in the economy of Australia right now.

Just my opinion.

wa nimo mabasa nga mahal ang cost of living didto? ? ?

kung mahal ang cost of living didto, that's another issue. ang issue is those receiving pensions, must return to australia at specific span of time otherwise mahunong ila pension. that's an australian government prerogative. ngano ari man magpalaban sa mga pinoy, kung sila mga aussie elders apektado, sila ang mag welga didto. that's conflict of interest kung mag apil2x ta.

wa gani ta ka sulbad ani atong kaugalingong problema diri, manghilabot naman hinoon ta sa wa tay labot.

thankyou so much, I dont understand what alot of people are saying and my wife is busy washing the clothes so I have to keep asking her to translate.

My translation of your message isnt too good but i think you said my wife may be lazy.

We are not rich like alot of foreigners (or filipinos with housemaids).
someone previously said maybe my wife is lazy. shes not. We have 3 kids, she works with rotary, she helps with the book program and has to look after me when my health is bad.

shes definately NOT lazy.

if we do go to Australia she will be working there-
not that that is anyone elses business. this post is about stopping the aussie govt from changing the portability rules for people on DSP.
Stopping the new rule being applied will save the aussie govt money and wont seperate husbands on DSP from thier families...

by the way there is nothing wrong with working at McDo... i respect all workers.

Kung motrabaho ang iyang asawa sa Australia, dako dako pud ang kuwarta oie.. dako baya silag suweldo didto, imbis sa McDo lang siya motrabaho. Ang problema lang sa mga babaye diri nga mangita og tigulang puti, kasagaran di jud na ganahan motrabaho, kontento lang na sila nga magpasupporta sa ilahang bana. This is a generalization I know, but it is true in 90% of the case.. kai kung kogehan pa ning asawa niya, moadto jud na sa Australia arun maka suweldo og dako instead of just relying on the sole income of her husband.

well, like they always say "all good things come to an end", pero relaks lang TS, i know you will figure out a way, saon na lang imong tabang sa mga less fortunates. Maybe you can send a letter of plea to the aussie gov't to reconsider your case. Or maybe they have a reach out program to other nations pwede ka magpaapil... be optimistic lang..

The thread title is really unfair for the Australian government.


I have relatives in Australia but i have not heard of it.
