Should I use my permanent address or my current address in the DTV form while applying from the Philippines?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Filling in the DTV form and I have listed my address on my drivers licence (permanent address), I have also marked yes that it is my current address because that is where I live.

But I am also currently in Philippines in Condo for 30 days where I am applying for the visa and I am wondering if this is mean to be no and that I put the Phillippines address?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When filling out the DTV form for your visa application, you should list your permanent address as it appears on your driver's license. Since you are in the Philippines for 30 days, it is correct to indicate that your permanent address (the Australian one) is where you live, and not the temporary address in the Philippines. Your current address refers to where you are presently located for the application process.
