OK!! (41)

i'm not a syco

Oh well she'll get over it(i hope), i bet she has been through worse

Yes Torless was nice. I hope she finds what she's looking for.

she sold up everything she owned having been given or at very least understanding she would be able to make and call Australia home. She came to Australian on a 457 visa sponsored her employment was arranged through an employment agency in Germany. She was employed to run a German bakery however after a few months her Australian employer stopped paying her wages and supper contributions, She continued un-payment continued for something like six months, eventually still running the bakery she lived off her savings and eventually filed a "work-place something" complaint against her employer, who was brought before a tribunal, she had a crown appointed paid legal representation throughout the tribunal proceedings.
The Tribunal found in her favor, and the employer promptly filed for bankruptcy, she (not the cats mother) has never seen a cracker.

Has obtained employment out west, which she enjoys and her new employer is willing to take over the sponsorship so she could see out the (now changed) 457 visa conditions, her current employer is wanting her stay on, however enter scumbag department of emigration.
She had in a timely fashion had applied in accordance with law, to transfer her original sponsorship to the happy and willing new employer. On not receiving response back in a timely fashion (within allowed 90 days) from department of emigration, she again contacted the department and was told by the public servant concerned, tuff, she the public servant was busy and your time has expired.
e.g.
"BUT!!

problems are starting again, when i arrived here i informed imigration , well asked how i can change Employers/ Sponsors.. this information was given to me early in January, wich then was put to the Secretary wich deals with all Immigration and Sponsorships issues.
Turns out she didnt put in for my nomination as she was * to bussy* and now I m well well over my 90 Days limit wich i have to find a Sponsor. To find out if i done anything illegal i had to get in touch with Immigration again, only to get told very rude that i should have informed them ages ago. My request for a clearance for a new Sponsor is still unanswered and my new Employer finds it more and more difficult to keep me on."!

She wrote to a government minister who didn't even have the courtesy to reply to her correspondence and is now, if not already likely to be deported well before the time limit of her original 457 visa reached expiry date.
Outrageous treatment of someone who has in every respect fully complied and has not broken any law whatsoever. the dirty pricks...

yes it really is disgusting serene, the sort of stuff like that government engages in is truly disgusting, she is a very nice person and doesn't deserve treatment like that

NFA = no fixed address.

Was reading a book recently where it made reference to the "other Australian" Colony...... the Middle Island. Seems they wanted to be separate from the northern island. Seems like the more populated island of the time forgot about Stewart Island in later years.

I have family in 2 of the islands and they argue which is the Mainland. Where does the "Mainland" cheese come from???[/quote]Cows !!!!
