too honest to make a false oath,
Yuyutsu,
That is far fetched in the extreme ! Whilst on the subject, I have never believed there to be any merit in dual Citizenship ! I was told by the then husband of a refuse-to-become-Australian women from an Asian Country that she sends literally tens of thousands of Australian Dollars to her country of birth.

Many immigrants, citizens or not, send money to help the family at home. I think there is a limit to the amounts that can be sent out of the country, and at least we don't have the rest of the family here. I suppose, like anyone else, they can dispose of their money how they please, and tax is the only thing due to the government.

Dear Indyvidual,

«too honest to make a false oath,

Well tell me, why else would one refuse getting an extra citizenship with all the benefits that come with it?

«I have never believed there to be any merit in dual Citizenship !»

Right - I have dual citizenship and I don't believe in the merit of even one!

Dual citizenship just helps one to travel and see their family overseas without hassles, but that is only to mitigate the unfair requirement to have a citizenship to begin with.

Anyway, there are many other things I cannot see merit in, for example, as a vegetarian I see no merit in others eating meat, but then it is not my place to allow others to live their life as they see fit only if I can see a merit in what they do.

His money or hers?
Pre-tax or after tax?
Did she send it to "her country of birth" as such, or to her relatives who just happened to live there?

Anyway, the last thing I need is to take sides in the family-dispute of a divorced couple...

Dear Ttbn,

"There is no limit to the amount of money that you can travel with, receive and send overseas. You also don't need to declare money that you transfer overseas or receive from overseas through a bank or a remittance service provider (money transfer business)."

The money might be going to elderly parents. To get a visa for parents, immigrants must take on the responsibility of all costs the parents might incur, including health etc.

As I was told recently by a woman whose mother is still living in India because the family could not afford to support her in Australia, whereas they could afford to help her in India where the Australian dollar goes much further.

The money might be going to elderly parents
ttbn,
Yes, it might !

If Dutton really wants to win, (not a great job trying to repair what Albanese has done) he should be standing up for free speech (he isn't), promising to end mass migration (he hasn't ‘promised’ to do nearly enough), protecting biological sex rights in law, ending the enormous waste of Net Zero (he says he will not), and reasserting Australian sovereignty by exiting the WHO.
