We get a lot of requests from journos wanting to interview expats so here's the place to do it. Please, everyone, have a look and see if you can help. (This is for Australia-specific requests only - general requests belong on the main BE Forum. Press releases/adverts will be deleted, so please don't waste our time. Thanks.)

...and in these threads too. But you'll have to dig out the nuggets yourself! These are legacy threads from before the latest major BE revamp which are just too daunting to upgrade!
This board is for all the jumbled up info about Australia. We've asked that, on the info boards, you please post on the relevant boards, start new threads for new topics, and please keep on topic. Otherwise the info is too hard too find for those coming after, and the already overworked Mod (SSue) ends up having to repeatedly answer the same questions. (If your posting is locked in here, please feel free to post again in the appropriate place.)
