What does the government do for me, anyhow?

I just reached a early morning epiphany (2:50am here). I have noticed of late my tendancies towards, how shall I say, anarchism. Well, not per se, but my train of thought is certainly operating on that bent. I just realised why, and as such took the final step in my journey as an anarchist (philosophically, that is). Right now, as I type, the woman that I love is sweltering away in the semi-developed shithole that is Malaysia (nice place to visit, mind you, you just wouldn't want to live there). I am here in Sydney, and she is over there in Kuala Lumpur.We have been lining apart now for over a year, and it fucking sucks.

Why? Because some shitty collection of clauses and red tape deems that she is not only unskilled, but that we also aren't in a defacto relationship. Maybe she has an Australian degree with a distinction average. Maybe she was in the top 2 percent of her country when she finished school. Maybe she was the captain of every fucking society and sports team there was. Maybe she has been working as an advertising executive for the last year. Maybe she can speak five languages fluently (including perfect english, he first language, better than I). Maybe we lived together for a year, and have been a couple for over 2. Maybe she is wearing my dead mother's engagement ring on her finger. Maybe we have travelled the fucking world together (well, asia). Maybe she is the most important thing in my life. Maybe I am the most important thing in hers.

Despite all of this, the Australian government doesn't seem to concur, and so we are apart. Why? Because a group of people decided in advance some decades ago that our relationship isn't genuine, and that she would be a deadweight on the economy. If she had have studied for 2 years in Australia, rather than just one (which she won on a schoilarship, by the way) they'd agree she was skilled. If she had have lived with me continuously in my apartment for 12 months (instead of 11) before her visa expired they'd agree we are in love. But they don't.

Some old guys in a room somewhere say I can't be with the woman I love on the false pretense that she is not skilled and not in love. Why does that matter? Because it does. Who says it matters? They do. What can i do? Ask them again. It is all because of this BS illusion of power which everyone allows to exist in their acknowledgement of it. There are no visas in actuality. There are no countries, immigration laws, governments, or restrictions. There are only people. Two of them are seperated by sea, and a mob of them have guns and think that it should stay that way.

They don't even care, though. Thats what fucking burns the most. They could agree, and they couldn't. They didn't even consider it, though. instead, our case has been decided by prerequisites. We can't even apply to be considered until we meet the fucking minimums. FUCK! Whose family do I have to threaten to get a green light? It's all a giant fucking joke, and I'm the butt. None of this shit is real.

If she just got on a plane and landed in Australia, some shitheads would tell her to turn around and go back. If I asked them why I'm sure they'd talk some shit about some BS restriction or visa or authority. The fact is there is a young, skilled, hard-working woman from a good family, with no BS religion, who wants to come and pay some fucking tax! Shit! What the fuck is going on?!

It is now, in my drunkened epiphany (I don't even fucking drink and I'm drunk, what a bloody joke) that I realise how much of a farce this government is. Nobody cares. They are in charge, because they say they are, and nobody thinks about it. What do they actually fucking do? I can't be with my true fucking love, because it is against the law. Whose law? Theirs. I don't remember signing any fucking contract to follow that piece of shit. Neither did she. But it still applies. Why? Cos they say it does.

Fuck this, I'm going to sleep.

Buy weed instead and offer joints to random teenagers on the street (and me).

Just make sure, when you do marry her, that you get a cheap wedding and use your money for an immigration lawyer. Life is too short to deal with bureaucrats. Hire a hack to do it for you and enjoy your life together.

My thought, too. What would happen if you went to Malaysia, or the two of you met in a third place, and just got married, then gave the papers to an immigration lawyer and hired him to sort it out with the government?

I don't know, maybe that would make things worse, but change can sometimes feel like progress.

I can't get married in most places (only 20 years old). apart from that, I can only imagine the fucking fun in twice the fucking shit while we both try and immigrate. I got no fucking money, another thing the Australian govenrment doen't like me for. I'm a uni student for christ sake, I don't need this shit, niether does she. I am just sick of playing their fucking game, and paying to do it, because they say I have to. Thuis cigarette tastes like shit.

Yeah, that marriage thing sounds like a good plan (to me anyways). They can't deny her entry then. Can they? :confused:

Why do things by half measures? When my mom used to get really pissed off, depressed and frustrated, it was ice cream, cigarettes AND liquor, all at once.

We canpay for an application, then they can decide they are a bit strapped, deny us, and force us to pay for an appeal. Yeah they can tell us we are not genuine. Wouldn't be the first time they've done it. It's all about money, in the end. Everything is all money. Fucking money.

That's why I deleted that post and replaced it with advice about getting a lawyer.

As for the no-money hurdle, that is a tough one, but as Leonardo da Vinci said, "If circumstances stop you from reaching your goal according to your plan, find another way of reaching it."

If the goal is to be with her in Australia, then you have a problem. If the goal is to be with her, then you have an entire planet in which to find a way to do that. There must be a way for you two to be together during the time in which you are trying to sort out the legalities of her living in Australia.

Think positive.

As for the government -- screw them. They are a hindrance to your plans. Find a way that does not involve them.

Haha double fucking jacckpot! That is plan B, after the marriage thing. NZ is perhaps the most famous backdoor into Australia in immigration history, or whatever. Yes, NZ. Fuck Australia. I like NZ anyway. Nice icecream there. Mountains too. Plus you can buy beer per litre from the tap at drivethrus. and lollies. not from the tap, but they're good.

Not that you need to ask. It's pretty clear what they want. Your life-soul.
