I can see what you mean. Things like this can get tricky when you're a resident of both places. That's where the tie-breaker test (https://www.ato.gov.au/about-ato/international-tax-agreements/in-detail/what-are-tax-treaties#:~:text=Most%20tax%20treaties%20include%20a%20%27tie%2Dbreaker%27%20test%20under%20which%20a%20dual%20resident%20is%20deemed%20to%20be%20a%20resident%20solely%20of%20one%20of%20the%20two%20jurisdictions%20for%20the%20purposes%20of%20taxation) falls in place. The tie-breaker test lets you know which place you'll end up claiming residency. Check it out in the tax treaty.
