Whilst I am sure that you will have many many emails regarding the impending change I am impelled to voice my opinion.

I have been in Australia for almost 12 months and have a family to support. 

Providing LAFHA to fifo workers who are already very well paid seems unfair. 

As a temporary resident I do not qualify for the benefits which someone with PR status does.

I pay tax into the system like everyone else.

I consider The proposed LAFHA change As discrimination.

I do not qualify for any uk benefits as I am not in the uk. The uk has a mutual agreement with Australia yet the benefits are not available under the current arrangement.

It is not feasible for my partner to work part time (with a family) at the tax rate of 32.5%. This wouldn't cover child care costs.

We may have to leave Australia because of the impending changes.

There are many more points which I would like to raise but I do not see much point - what will be will be.

Be prepared for the fall out if this is passed!
