I am always asked if I intend to return to Australia. I mean what kind of a question is that? I arrived in Malta, December 2012, got my dual citizenship by way of entitlement and have remained in Europe ever since, now living in Paris – and people want to know if I intend to go back – I think I would have already done it by now, don’t you?
In the real world that is always changing, we don’t really know what the future holds and we can not say for certain that our plans will work out. So this is not a question that anyone in my position can really answer.
I came here initially for a holiday and I didn’t know that I was entitled to dual citizenship (from Malta), so I applied for it and I got it. My mother’s relatives had to co-sign the documents. This was not planned.
Six months later I married my husband (at this request) in Cyprus. That was also not planned.
After tolerating his abuse for twelve months, which is something I will never do again, I locked him out of the house and planned to file for divorce but the lawyers in Malta, felt they had an obligation to the government body that employed my husband after ceasing co-habitation – the Ministry of Social Solidarity – a system that operates on ‘who you know’, and suddenly I was the one who ended up outside. I did not plan that.
The public services that I turned to for housing and social inclusion, all fell under the umbrella of the Ministry of Social Solidarity, and despite qualifying for emergency services, I was denied, prolonging homelessness. I did not plan that either.
After the murder of the late Daphne Caruana-Galizia, a Maltese investigative reporter dubbed the most fearless, who was looking into the involvement of EUROPOL, regarding an illegal cross-reference on a closed case in my name, from Australia to Malta, I relocated to Paris, and arrived on 2nd December, to start my life again. My husband, who hates the French, followed me over just to make more trouble for me. I did not plan that.
Now, after six years of celibacy and still homeless (four applications in that time, to the Family Courts to sue my husband for divorce on self-representation, were denied; and two to the European Courts of Human Rights), I have finally taken a liking to someone who initially indicated the feeling was mutual but has since been interfered with, possibly to obstruct any opportunities for a relationship. My husband is a very jealous man (but not me) and knows a lot of people via his connections in EUROPOL. I did not plan this.
…and people want to know if I am planning to return to Australia. Well I am not actually planning to but the correct answer is I DON’T KNOW!
