Hello,
My wife and I will be going on our honeymoon in a few weeks to Australia for 16 days. We are coming there from the US. I read something about an ETA travel visa, but we've visited several other countries before on vacation and never had to get a visa. Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks in advance!!

Preamble: ripped from my Facebook.
It is of no surprise to me that you have multiple Facebook accounts because whoever is in charge of your searchable internet presence is obviously just a bunch of carrots dressed up in a man-suit.
I honestly believe this after receiving a text from you incompetent eggs telling me to pick up my parcel at Startrack Melrose Park Depot. So I hop in my car, drive to this out of the way suburb, that not even the residents of which know existed, only to be told by the security guard at the gate THAT THIS DEPOT HASN'T EXISTED IN 6 MONTHS! He also added to this disappointing piece of info that he gets multiple pissed off parcel seekers per day who've received the exact same message.
"So why is this message still being sent out?" I ask the poor bastard in your call centre who has probably never fielded a pleasant call in his time there?
"I'm not sure but usual and exhausted I'm sorry and I understand spiel Stargate Chullora Depot."
Well, I've already come this far, what's another 45 minutes in peak hour Sydney traffic? I Google Maps it to "Startrack Chullora Depot" and in 45 minutes time, I arrive at my destination where I am informed THAT STARTRACK HAS NEVER EXISTED AT THIS ADDRESS.
For a company whose sole purpose it is to deliver things to specific addresses, I am a bit baffled as to how you ballsed up your own. Twice.
I know I'm on a rant here but please continue to bear with me. I'd like to give you an analogy...
If I were to order an ornate, one-of-a-kind crystal chandelier, which I am likely to do at any moment now, I would pay extra money to have it delivered by 200 drunk, dizzy, directionless and duct-taped-together carrier pigeons who would be attached to the crate by some sort of harness fashioned out of confetti and paper mache.
I know the package might arrive a bit banged up and covered in hungover pigeon shit... but it would arrive. It would arrive as opposed to being thrown into the black hole of Startrack's non-existent depots only to be found in a millenias time when alien archeologists dig through the crumbled remains of earth in search of what lifeforms once existed here. And they would find a seared and scorched package labelled "Thomas Smith" and wonder what sort of being he was, never knowing how truly pissed off an individual he was.

Hi all,
I am a US citizen in a relationship with an Australian citizen. My partner had to move back to Australia due to their visa expiring here in the states. I plan to come to Australia on a Work and Holiday visa sometime next year, and the plan was to apply for a partner visa at some point after my arrival on the Work and Holiday visa. I would then get a bridging visa and be able to stay until the partner visa is granted. However, I have just read that there will be a change to this where a sponsor application has to be lodged and approved before the partner visa application can be submitted? Can anyone confirm this? I have scoured the official Australian visa website for information about this but haven't found anything. It is my understanding from something that I've read that I would not be eligible for the bridging visa while waiting for a decision on the sponsor application, and who knows how long that would take. Not sure if this is something that will actually come to fruition or if it was just an idea being passed around by immigration officials. If this is the case, does anyone have any idea of when it will be effective? Thanks for your help.

I told you I was at home. My door is closed because it's cold you fuckwit. I paid for a signature on my expensive electronics that you just left in the rain at my front door. No Knock. Did you forge my signature? Do you not understand what a signature is? Do you not know how to do your job? Pray tell. Are you going to replace it if it is stolen like last time? No, you're not, So get the fucking signature in the first place like you are asked to do, like I pay extra money for you to do!
PLEASE
