in fact it's so shit it doesn't even give an option to be living overseas. Just an option to be returning to Australia. Seriously people deflect so easily to a bs argument that leads to nothing. Thinking they know everything.
that's just not true. The 183 day test is when ENTERING Australia to gain residency. It has nothing to do with losing it. Alas no questions were answered and nobody knows how you lost residency. I'll assume you didn't do the tax return to tick the box of being a resident so lost it.
