Getting a citizenship is done on a points system i believe. Things that are important are your age (they like em young), qualifications, work history, and whether Australia needs people in your trade at the time you apply, (you speak english so that's a bonus). However, if you managed to study here as an International student (university degrees are around $AUS15,000 per year and diplomas are about half that price), you would have a better chance of being accepted, especially if you complete your course here, or so I've heard. As Grizz mentioned, New Zealand IS easier to get into. You can get their citizenship quite quickly, then move to Australia as a Perminent Resident. However, recently Australia has toughened up on New Zealanders, and are not letting them become citizens very easily. But this wouldn't affect you in many ways at all. You can check if you are eligible here: http://www.migrationexpert.com/ Now I say since all you fine yanks seem so interested in coming here, this year's NE gathering should be moved down under! Then Kaiowas might be able to sleep soundly at night.

Don't come here if you're into salvia. It's illegal here - much harder to get. Mdma pill quality is generally shit and expensive. Cacti supply is limited and bloody expensive ($50 a foot). Need really good contacts to get mushies. Acid is non-existent. Not the best place for mind-expansion.

Ninjapixie, what my brother is trying to say is you might have to make a bit of an effort but that's the case everywhere, and it's worth it! mind expanding isn't served on a silver plate, but it IS grown all around by Mother Nature herself to use at your own leasure! why don't you hunt for shrooms yourself, you don't have to buy them...

Yeah the keyword here is effort. I always wait for an acquaintance to get me shrooms.
I hear some herbal shop will sell you salvia if you get to know them a little (or tell a good story about how much you need it to quit pot).

We just re-elected John Howard (Liberal-National Party Coalition; 'Liberal' in this context refers to economics) for his fourth term. So, you could say we err on the conservative side. Still, the Labor Party (currently under Mark Latham and somewhere between the centre and a tepid kind of liberalism) does occasionally get elected and the Green party (under Senator Bob Brown) is on the rise. The Democrats (more tepid centre-leftists) were virtually annihilated in the last election; they should never have ousted Natasha Stott-Despoja. I'd say One Nation (frightening right-wing isolationists) had ceased to be a threat, but that's not exactly true since John Howard has effectively adopted many of Pauline Hanson's policies regarding social issues such as homosexual rights, immigration and indigenous relations. Our currency is the dollar, and we usually get around $0.70 US for it, although that is naturally subject to fluctuation. Yes, the economy is very stable. Despite my myriad objections to Howard's policies as PM, he has managed to keep the economy strong through the recent global economic slowdown. I'm afraid I can't tell you much about getting citizenship, or what qualifications you'd need. Apologies, but with very brief interruptions I've lived here my entire life. I disagree that MDMA pill quality is uniformly terrible; my experience dictates otherwise. You can expect to pay $30-40 per pill in cities, perhaps $50 in rural areas (steer clear of those in most cases). I haven't done any serious mushroom-hunting here, but there is a fairly diverse array of mushrooms, especially in the Blue Mountains. So that's my summarised response to all the above questions.

So there is acid in Aust? Don't know anyone whos got it.
I very rarely pill nowdays (2-3 a yr) but the last few I have had weren't all that great. Last great pill I had was three years ago! I live in Sydney and I rarely paid more then $25 for a pill. Helps when your best mates a runner. Still we end up paying much more for pills then most other countries.

Ninjapixie, what my brother is trying to say is yes there is acid, and currently the dilbert blotter design is circulating melbourne, and seems to be a good one! SO EVERYONE, the moral to the story is: psychedelics are in plenty down under! Kaiowas makes only informed decisions
