I've got to do it all again to return.

Boy O Boy have they got news for you.


Lockdowns are all about supplying employment & Penalty Rates for those turds & others imho. I wonder what they will do for a job when this crap is all over? Spend their bulging Bank accounts?

At least after all the mucking about with paperwork you can still go to work and earn a quid unlike many in VIC that would be more than happy to swap places with you.

What a bloody debacle. WA has knocked me back. I can resubmit with further evidence, they're now asling for a declaration on company letterhead and copies of the con notes. Why the hell couldn't they ask for them on the application form?
