CCP, Australia has 'free universal health care'. If they give you a residency permit you're eligible for free health care while you're there. Naturally, they don't want a bunch of old retirees taking up residence just as their health care costs are heading through the roof. It's not fair to the tax paying public (and let me tell you, they pay taxes big time in Oz. Australia makes the US look like a tax haven.)

(Just wanted to see if we could bend the thread off onto another controversial issue that has nothing to do with sailing).

CCP is banned and as such will have trouble replying.
