Australia / Are there any playgroups for Polish mums and kids in Melbourne? [9]

Maybe not the best thing to post your mobile number on an internerd site.

I am in Thornbury but don't know of any Poles with kids.

Polish Deli's at either Vic or South Melb markets if you're in central Melb.

Or if you're not fussed then one of the many dumpling houses in Melb all do takeaway frozen dumplings.

that depends on when they came over, if they came as displaced persons after the war i am not sure it matters.

Australia / Student from Poland wants to get to Australia [10]

are you from poland?

australia doesn't have any work treaties with poland so there are no such working holiday programs.

what are you studying? we do have a skilled migrant visa but that is geared to permanency and there are strict rules in place. if that is what you're after then best to look at the australian governments website to see what skills are in demand.

just be wary there are some schools/college's that promise the earth but are only after your zloty.

Love / Should I bring gifts? - help with a Polish wedding [46]

its not just poland where giving money is acceptable, i have been to a few weddings in australia where money was perfectly acceptable.

the other new thing is couples setting up an account with a travel agent and you can make anonymous transfers to their online account and they use that money for their holiday.

the rule of thumb down here is that around $100 per person either gift/cash is acceptable.

Australia / Can My Polish girlfriend get a working visa in Australia?? [28]

umm, we have a skilled migrant program and also have certain professions that need filling.

now, what happened was that all these lil college's started offering chef and hairdressing (they were in demand) courses to mainly Indian people and charging them $20-30k for the privilege. the problem being that the students never had any interest in working in these professions.

the government has now closed the loophole on this and from what i gather it is a lot harder.

so, in summary, find out what the skills shortage is, study a course in that area and then apply.

do any other countries have negative gearing?

you dont know negative gearing?

under australian tax law you get a deduction for interest and other property related expenses on your rental property. ideally works the best if you're on a higher tax bracket.
