I am going to migrate to Australia, but before that I am planning going to Perth for a few days and return to my actual country.

During this travel, can I get a valid mobile number in Australia and use it ? How long does it take to have a mobile number? Where can I get it?
more specifically, in Perth, where should I go to get this ? some shopping center, mall, store?

you can buy a sim card from a lot of places….. they are sold at post offices, mobile phone shops, some newsagents and even some supermarkets…. you will need to get a pre-paid sim card and this will cost you $30 and give you $30 worth of calls…. it is pretty easy to set up (a 5-10 minute phone call) and should work within the hour that you set it up… just make sure that your phone from your original country takes the same sim card and you should be fine… easy as!!

I’m 26 years old male from Italy actually living in Mexico. I am planning to go living in Australia looking for a job but I am not quite sure how easy would be to find it considering I should look for a sponsor once I will be right there, not before. How does it work with sponsorship and acceptance by Australian authorities? Is it too complicated? Should I go back to Italy in order to ask for the VISA? Can I do it from another country? Can I just do everything in Australia? I hope somebody will give me some clues. It is a little confusing for me. I also think that this procedure will penalize me once the companies need some employee as soon as possible. Should the company pay some exaggerated fee in order to sponsor foreigners? In few words, am I discriminated with respect to Australian citizens? I think the situation with Italy should be pretty close to most of the European countries so…in addition to Australian people I hope lots of European immigrants will give their opinion. Tks!

How are jobs in Australia different from the jobs in the United States?

I need to know the answer to this question in no less than 30 minutes, please help me out. I will return the favor of answering your billions of questions if you need them.

please dont give me any links, they dont work on this computer. School computer, sorry.
If you want to send me a link, then just copy and paste what you want me to read on the answer.
Thank you so much I really appereciate it.

We have protected classes (race, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, religion) here in the US, so if you fire someone or do not hire them based on their membership in these classes then you are subject to major fines and other disciplinary actions from the government. Also, you can fire who you like but if the employee can prove it was for an illegal reason (such as they are a member of a protected class or they would not perform sexual favors for a boss) the fired employee can sue for big time cash.

I heard that Australia’s population is projected to grow to around 35 – 40 million people within a period of 40 years or so. My question is, why will it grow to that number? Is it b/c of immigration or are people just having more kids?

I am asking as I always hear that Australia is pretty much a desert and incredibly short on water. So would that be a good thing if Australia’s population would basically double within this short time frame?

It’s because immigrants are having too many kids. Normal families have 2 or 3 but these people have 5 or 6. So do bogans. People need to realise that we don’t have enough room to accommodate. In my state we are already running out of water, soon we’ll have to drink out of the toilet. It would be a bad thing.

I am married to an Australian and we live in the UK. I am planning on applying for a temporary spouse visa, which then becomes a permanent visa after 2 years. What would happen if we didn’t relocate to Australia having been granted the visa. Does this invalidate the visa and prevent a permanent one being issued in 2 years time. I am aware that you have to enter australia by the "specified initial entry date" on the visa, but less clear on whether you are then expected to remain there for the duration. Thanks for any advice.

No, you don’t need to stay in Australia after you’ve validated your visa but it’s important that you keep DIAC informed of your address. Spouses on temporary spouse visas are able to travel to and from Australia without restriction.

It would probably be a good idea to be in Australia when your visa is due to become permanent because there will be an interview to prove that the relationship is still intact at that time and the process will be simpler if you’re here, but if (and only if) you apply for your original visa offshore, your permanent visa can be granted either onshore or offshore provided DIAC know exactly where you are at that time.

Note that when you have your permanent visa, it is valid for only 5 years if you are outside Australia and you must meet certain residence and/or other requirements to be eligible for a Resident Return visa. You can’t just get a permanent visa on the off chance that you may want to travel to Australia at some time in the future. Our Permanent Residents are expected to be committed to Australia.

If you’ve been in a partner relationship for 5 years (or 2 years if you have children together), your visa will probably be permanent from day 1 and then the 5 year validity and residence requirements will come into play immediately.

Instead of replacing the ageing pigs with superhornets and JSF’s, Australia should just buy the rights to build the pigs here. Why buy new designs for big bucks when the F111 still has excellent long range strike capabilites. I know people will argue ‘there old’ but seriously- built new in Aus they would not have any of the problems they have now. Especially as the US congress will even consider selling us there F-22’s, which is in the works at the moment.

Well, there is no "Contract" for the ‘vark, because the aircraft is no longer built, or supported here. Also, all the tooling and jigs have long since been destroyed so you’d have to "tool up". From a tactical standpoint, you’d be better off building F15E’s (better range, loadout, better offensive/defensive avionics) they have an existing engineering and spares pipeline. There’s the multirole advantage as well: one can combine AIM120s with the fire control system to give the RAAF a complementary lookdown/shootdown capability with the Hornets; something you just aren’t going to get with a ‘vark. You also wouldn’t need to start from scratch: rebuilding some F15B’s in storage would be MUCH cheaper in the long run to re-engineering F111’s.

I’m an undergraduate student in the US planning on attending a medical school here or possibly in Australia.. does anyone know how the two compare? I will have a degree by the time I am ready to apply to med school so I am interested in the graduate programs there.. does anyone know if med schools in Australia require pre-med courses like the US and if so what are they? Any info you can give me will help, thanks!

G’day,

Unfortunately you did not mention the area of study that you intend to do for your graduate course. To find out the course that you are taking and where it is offered, I suggest you to go to IDP Education Australia website (www.idp.edu.au). IDP is an organisation that gives information to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. The information abt tuition fee and requirement will be available from the universities’ website. Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification. The process will take abt 2-3weeks, depending on the time of the year.

Hope this helps. Good luck for your study and welcome to Australia

I heard from my friend that to save the water, people in OZ never wash their dish with water, only with the soap/detergent, and after that they mop it until squeaky clean. is that true? how bout the stain of the soap? or maybe in australia you guys use specially made soap?
I have to make myself clear. I heard that australians don’t use water to RINSE their dish after clean it with soap, only mop it. My friend lived in Canberra.

Yes, we wash our dishes with water! Interestingly enough, I remember watching the Chipmunks when I was little and noticing how much water they wasted while washing up. It’s a personal preference thing, some people rinse their plates after washing them, some people don’t. It’s really just a waste of water and they end up perfectly fine if you don’t rinse them. It’s only glasses that streak noticeably. Speaking from experience, I never notice whether my dishes have been rinsed or not.

Australia is actually in the middle of a bad drought at the moment, where I live we are on water restrictions (but yes we can still wash dishes!)

On a similar note, on every American television show, whenever someone brushes their teeth they just spit it out and don’t rinse their mouth afterwards. Is that the norm???

I know that there are quite a few places which will ship to Australia but the shipping costs are generally fairly high. Looking for a good quality ocarina which I can buy from somewhere in Australia.

Have u tried "ocarinas R us" or is ocarina just a female ocker.
