Hey Goldminer,
Thanks for the pom explanation ,
I figured you were busy at work, I'm watching a documentary right now on National Geographic about Tau Tona - City of Gold...amazing how they excavate there.
Sorry to all the other members me going off topic.. again , but if I do not know something and am interested in the topic, i ask. So here's my question...is there now (present time) any ties between England and Australia? Ties as in, not only a part of the flag, but in Laws, financial ties etcetc.?
Thanks in forehand for any answers.
Friendly greetings........Gilbert.

well Gilbert, i am no lawyer or expert, but the way i see it, we (aussie) are part of the commonwealth of nations, the queen (elizabeth) is our queen. A few years ago, we used the "god save the queen " as our national anthem, but now have our own mmm apart from that, dont think there are any legal ties... perhaps Jimbo (being a pom ) can help us there.
I do know it is very hard for aussies to get work in UK but they seem to come in droves to aussie and work at will :roll:
BTW, will probably be up your way in a few weeks, always like to spend some time around Lovina , Singaraja when in Bali.

As far back as I can remember there have always been heaps of Aussies working in London bars and clubs. I doubt you would go into a bar in London that didnt have at least one aussie barmaid/man.

 

[goldminer]

yea, Mimpi , i did think of that, however i think you will find that has all been stopped.

Well gil Australia's system of government is mirrored on the westminster system and of course like the USA there are laws which exist within there institutions that owe there origins to westminister,the UK is a very big financial investor in Australia and generally this all works extremely well though as has happened before if a sitting government starts behaving in an eratic manner the great queen can boot them out " and may well i say god save the queen " . :mrgreen:


Nantiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Hey Goldminer,

Gilbert, we are way off topic so apologies to everyone but in answer to you question...it's too complicated to discuss here :lol: But in short and I'm no legal expert I'll just say there are some legal ties through our constitution and through Oz (a former colony of England) being part of the Commonwealth. Our legal system is based on England's and differes to the US style. Sorry cant think of the fancy terms to use. I think our legislative laws (Acts of Parliament) are still signed off by a Queen's representative. But mostly our ties now are historic and ceremonial. However the Queens representative in Oz, the Governor General, does and has used his power to fire the Prime Minister in certain extreme circumstances. The only Prime Minister to be fired famously quoted "well may we say God save the Queen because nothing will save the Governor General".

Political questions give me a headache and make me feel dirty :lol:

There still are but it is not as easy as it used to be the laws have been tightened.

Maybe if Bali and indeed the whole of Indonesia had the westminster system and a foreign head of state being neutral then just maybe you would see a much more progressive nation :idea:


Then setting up & running a guesthouse with all its redtape and sovreign risk would be more appealing ?

Nantiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[mimpimanis]

I dont know about employment laws but I do know my brother rents out accommodation and it is still aussies and south afrians that take a contract for a two people in a one bedroom flat and sublet 10 freinds :lol: :shock:

Anton

Now you want to change the political system in Indonesia? I really do not think this place is for you

 

[gilbert de jong]

, just like you jimbo, Anton likes to make jokes sometimes :wink: .
Aaaaah, I have said before somewhere on this forum, if Indonesia would still be Dutch, probably alot of things would be better for the Indonesian people. However if so, I wouldn't have moved here :lol: . I like the 'red-tape' here on Bali.
Btw, no guillotine here in Indonesia, but an good old firing squad...wonder if one gets a last cigarette before they shoot? Just joking....
friendly greetings, Gilbert.

Hmm ! Some how i dont think the average indonesian could get used to wearing cloggs :!:

IMO The dutch did little good for Indonesia. They were here to make money not to help the Indonesians.The brief sojourn the British were in charge did advance the Indonesians and laid the groundwork for much of the systems in place today.

Bert may disagree

 

[Bert Vierstra]

I don't (know).

Yes that one of the things I heard from a local too.

The Dutch, ah ... But the British, they gave us roads!
