I wonder if they will stop people posting masks through the postal service. A girl I was studying with last month sent 30 boxes of masks back to her family in Hong Kong. I doubt she was the only person to be doing this

A young man from my hometown had a serious motorbike accident in Koh Samui in 2018, he required multiple surgeries and ICU care. His bills in 4 days amounted to 54K Australian dollars. The final bill would have been considerably more than this had he not been airlifted back to Australia courtesy of a gofundme organised by his family and friends. Having travel insurance or expat health insurance is considerably less than an amount like this. I would wager that not many people would have this sort of cash lying around to pay those sort of bills upfront

I have a new passport now, with a new passport number. I have already updated my TM30 with the new passport. Previously I have done my 90 day reports by post and now want to start doing them online. Will I also need to do my next one ( with the new passport number) in person, to get into the system

yep they took my photo when I did mine at Immigration a couple of weeks ago

I wonder if she thought that you wanted to learn Muay Thai or Hand to Hand combat which people often do as part of an ed visa. Perhaps she was giving you advice based on that assumption. Wheras of course you can attend a gym while you're on a "retirement" visa and would probably pay less for the privilege of doing so compared with those looking to get an ed visa based on this. Sounds like you want a non immigrant multiple entry OA visa which of course you can get in your own country before you come here or a multiple entry tourist visa as described in the comment above

It's a ahame because the other visa group used to be held in high regard and could be relied upon to give accurate and up to date visa advise. I no longer reccommend anyone ask a question in that group, as so often people posting a question are ridiculed, belittled and humiliated for innocently asking a newbie question. I'm really surprised that other admins in that group have allowed their group to be hijacked and destroyed by one particularly obnoxious admin with zero people skills or diplomacy. It's refreshing to come to this group and see the patient and supportive responses from admins here
