Australian customs flaw
"Larry" wrote in message At some point, as you need a wheelbarrow to buy simple foods to carry the worthless paper money in, the stupid public will pull its collective head out of the sand and the long-delayed cycle of revolution will repeat itself. Government is working very hard to prepare, with HAARP weapon research and chemical distribution systems to put the public into a trance state to control them. Of course, there'd be nothing to stop them from merely adding more circuitry to the implanted RFID chips planned for mandatory distribution. We'll all obey if our brains explode on command from the RFID system, won't we? Humans are professional survivalists..... (Go watch the old scifi movie "Logan's Run". The author, like George Orwell, only had the DATE wrong for its implementation.) Hey Larry You need to join http://www.vhemt.org/aboutvhemt.htm Actually, I think I do too ;-) Peter HK |

server.bigpond.net.au: http://www.vhemt.org/aboutvhemt.htm Go read the pointer from this site: http://www.rehydrate.org/facts/ten_facts.htm Now, define "child abuse" and "child neglect" once again, just for yourself. Having watched two parents starve themselves to death to end the medical profession's cash cows, like Parkinson's Disease my mother had for almost 19 years, I'm an avid advocate of voluntary euthanasia for anyone who wants it, the ability to die quickly in dignity, not slowly to make doctors richer and to allow religious nuts to "suffer for Jesus", as they feel everyone should "die on the cross". In both our countries we don't have to look far to find starving children or incurable adults who would choose euthanasia, given the choice without the religious guilt trip. We're too busy preparing for the next war to increase profits of the banker class. |

Australian customs flaw
I don't believe that option applies now. Rather than replace it with
something sensible they just deleted it, hardly an improvement. At least while that applied you would get your money back if you left within the time limit. "Ann-Marie" wrote in message ps.com... We solved the problem by getting dual citizenship. Now if we get to Australia we can use our USA passports. Their main concern is residents attempting to import a boat and avoid import taxes - and thereby support the local boat industry. At one time - perhaps still - you had to put up a cash bond for the import duties (up to 100% of value) that was forfeit if you didn't exit the country with the boat within the time limit - 12 months?. This was a while ago, things may have improved. |

Australian customs flaw
JohnM wrote: A report in Australia's "Cruising Helmsman" for Dec. " An Australian couple will not be able to visit Australia in their own boat during a circumnavigation without officially importing the boat - even though the boat will not be staying in Australia. Bob Edwards and wife Margaret bought their Nordhavn 46 in France and plan to base or sell it in Europe after their circumnavigation but Australia will not issue cruising permits to citizens - only visitors - so the only way they can stop off home on their way around is to pay import duty and 10% GST on the purchase price of the boat - tens of thousands of dollars....." Governments just don't seem to be able to get it right - do they? A similar example would be the scenario where Canadian residents cannot bring US rented cars into Canada, on the grounds that Canadians taxes and duties have not been paid on those cars. A Canadian resident from Halifax, Nova Scotia might be visiting Seattle, Washington, 5000 km away in the western US. If he decided to rent a car in the US and make a two hour drive to Vancouver, Briitsh Columbia, he would be stopped at the border by Canada Customs and told that he couldn't bring that car in with him. |
