Oooh Dubai. I want to do one last overseas contracting gig and I'd like it to be there. I'm not drinker or drug taker so I'd be pretty much ok. Lots of sunshine, shopping, nice food. I could do that. A friend's partner has just got a 2 year gig with the airport authority. I'm too old to do 2 years but six months, yes please.Comment

Australia has as amazing taxation system, catering for Freelancers very well and fairly.
First World country, with a First World Fiscal attitude.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment
