I think now you have explained it more i have seen a different angle and the situation and admire for what you have done for jane.spray_and_pray wrote:
Point system works In 3 ways Money, Education, Status (single or married) before she got in because she was married to a non Aussie but he had University he used to do childrens shows. But he is probably the most screwed in the head person I have ever seen he is a sociopath and cared more about the dog they had then his wife. He was also into alot of crap with the cops he was a paedophile and a large robber, he used to steal from the liquor shops he "worked at". I cant beleive filth like that can continue to live in this great country when someone who worked hard to stay here cant. Anyway im 3rd generation Australian and quite a bit of generations Serbian but my great great grandpa was born here and my grandmother lived here. I was happy to be accepted into this great country and was greatful enough that I joined the reserves theres about 72K soldiers in Australia and its in its 90's in % of how much of it is with reserves. We have a small army but we are more technologically advanced then the country we share borders with... Indonesia. So far in the war in Iraq we have only used SAS so chances of me ever seeing combat are slim unless sh*t hits the fan. I don't even count myself as being in the army all I got was 3 months or so of Basic training and I gotta go every few weeks or every week or so to stay sharp. I realise how lucky I was to get into Australia I didn't even work hard for it. Jane did and she deserved to be a citizen, she was probably the most hardest working person ive seen.
She worked at some cruddy cafe from morning to its close down time at midnight and worked Mon-Sat she also had another job on Sunday. I found it unfair that her peice of sh*t husband managed to evade everything without working. The only reason she did leave was because of him she was doing the work of two people and couldn't take it anymore after about 1 or 2 years of just that.
The reason I asked everyone was just to see what their oppinion on it was. I was about 100% sure with myself that I did the right thing.
Not all this is directed at the person I quoted just the 1st paragraph of the 1st half or so. I find when I talk about something I tend to go too much into details creating a wall of text. Blame it on the year 12 English teacher I had with all the 20 page essay's etc.
I think there is alot of stigma behind it all as alot of people emigrate(sp) to england, i have no problem with this i only have a dislike for people who move to another country and live of the goverment and don't work.
The main reason i asked about the point system ,as i am australian born but a british citzen with a dual passport,my dads side being aussie.Wasn't really sure how it worked as i have heard in the past that it was really hard for someone not from Australia to gain access (apart from marriage).
Anyhow +1 to you pray you deserve it...
