The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.
I have been investing in stocks for over 10 years now and I have made a lot of money. My portfolio has grown exponentially and I can't thank stocks & ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER enough for such an amazing way to make money!
I'm very privileged to have been able to move to Australia. About 12 years ago my dad was one of those highly skilled workers Australia often look for and his company actually sponsored our move here. I'm 24 yo now and while I'm by no means a rich person myself (I couldn't even dream of affording a rental on my lonesome) I'm very thankful to be here in Australia instead instead of South Africa which I haven't even visited since moving. Aussies are good, hard-working people and I'm proud to be able to call myself Australian
Australia is about as popular as China lol. It turned into a socialist nightmare since covid. Sheila..... Get in the f#&%ING van!!!!!!! A country with low or no freedom is not a country... Its a jail!!!!
Working with a financial expert could truly set you up for life. I'm delighted I was able to contact my coach Rodger Michael Karl earlier this year because while others were busy whining about the downturn I was busy cashing out from my portfolio, finally making over 370k only for the first quarter. of the year. Rodger Michael Karl. Has helped us.
Awesome video , I moved to Australia from Africa , now in Brisbane ( thru the critical skills visa ) best decision of my life , beautiful country, rich salaries and super safe ! 😀 loving life in Oz
And we LOVE good people immigrating hwere ,, welcome. ALWAYS remember the day you become a citizen you are equally Australian as every other one of us.
Moved to Perth from London many years ago and the lifestyle is fantastic. The major difference is space. Even on the freeway you look to the East and then the West all you see is 180 degrees of pure blue sky. Low crime rates, good employment opportunities, great beaches, restaurants and bars, all make for a wonderful lifestyle.
I've been in Australia my whole life, I only went to Perth for the first time just before the pandemic, it its really awesome over there in the west, I going back soon and having a proper look around, top too bottom of WA
@@CJ.1998X.Y.Z they complain because they're born here with all the opportunities but failed to utilise it, then blame other whi have come here an strived towards their goals.
There are other countries as rich, or richer, in resources, but are not doing as well. Having little corruption in Gov't and democratic and egalitarian values is what makes the difference.
@@jaydendelvalle3666 I know right. It’s like Australia doesn’t have a trillion dollar debit and Didn’t drop from the 7th least corrupt country to the 18th in the last 8 years because under the liberal government there was not an anti-corruption commission. This seems like blatant ignorance!
Very glossy depiction of Australia and I certainly felt a tinge of pride at the panoramic imagery. Australia has changed so much in my lifetime and it is bittersweet watching your country come of age but I miss the simpler times, I know so many people who are not on the property ladder and feel completely isolated and worried about their future living here, the pandemic has just made things worse.
I wish aus would make a way for its citizens to own house affordably but currently i guess we just have tolerate being shat on by the housing market. Pretty sure itll stay like and ill be renting for the rest of my life. I know a asian landlord who bought an apartment for 15000 dollers wtf way back now for the same thing i have to pay 20-30 times the amount fml
My family has been in my local area since the mid 1800’s and it’s been the same story over and over again throughout history the government moves out the average people further from the cities to make way for the $$
Having just visited the UK I can tell you that housing affordability there is far worse than Australia. House prices are broadly equivalent to Australia but Salaries are 1/2 of what they are in Australia. Housing is tough, but at least Australia has a bright future for employment growth.
Great that you love it. Curious about how you find the racism here? My African friends arriving from South Africa find Melbourne quite good, they say the racism is subtle ( when it exists). However Melbourne also is the most progressive and multicultural city in Australia. And I guess everything seems less racist than South Africa!! My thoughts are because many Africans arrive here skilled they do well however the treatment/attitude and racism toward Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people requires a lot of work.
@@annanudniduck That goes both ways I have relatives living just outside an aboriginal community and are having to leave and sell there business due to their business constantly being broken into vandalism occurs frequently. There are 2 sides to every coin.
Hope u leave soon we need the next generation of Aussies from Aussies since born and bred raised we don’t need Americans or more immigrants Aussies r going homeless violence is increasing especially with kids
@@annanudniduck Canberra is the vanguard of progressiveness for the country. Just because Dan says Melbourne is, doesn't mean it's a fact. Sydney is the most multi-cultural city, followed by Melbourne. Another fact... numbers dont lie!
Uhhh, speaking as an Australian, this is the best broad and brief overview of the country that I've ever seen. Nailed it. The visual selections of places and scenery were incredible too. (Apologetically, to any viewers that think it's a perfect land, it's not. We tend to take a lot for granted and have the same human trials and tribulations as anywhere else, and super high depression and suicide rates. An awesome place to be if you have plenty of money, and a good attitude to life)
We have a LOT of problems, but one just has to look across the ocean to see pretty much everywhere else has the same but worse. I honestly couldn't imagine wanting to live anywhere else, though New Zealand would be a very close second.
We have a lot of advantages but a few undesirable problems, such as the extreme cost of living, it's higher than ever especially with housing in Sydney and Melbourne.
Born vietnamese australian. Forever greatful and indebted to australia. Its given me , my family and my future generations a brighter future, hope and everything i could ever ask for. I could name 100 bad things that could be better but 1million good things. Forever grateful
I don't know about that. You sound like my grandma. What happens in the future you see your grandchild not wanting to get a job and thinks about going back to Vietnam for cultural identity as they don't like Australian multiculturalism as your suburb is dominated by a particular ethnic group. So they're made to feel as if they don't belong You know what my understanding of Australia is? It's a gene pool to practice eugenics and try get more people mixing, interbreeding to create hybrid races. Because I looked at this country from an outside perspective at one stage when I ran away to China in hopes to create a better life than in Australia. It ended with going to a detention centre. The story of my life. It was because everything was made in China.
@@bradley7454 people only go back to vietnam when they dont need money or have enough money. They just want happiness, they just want the final chapter without worry and stress of bills etc because most homes in vietnam are paid off by family so theres no worry about bills, money problems. Life over there is cheap and u have everything at your doorstep. U can literally live off 300-500aud a month whereas thats the amount youl pay rent for a week. We should be grateful we arent living in worn torn nations. We have great liver work balance, wages are high. The medical system aint the best but try asia or america and ul see how lucky we are.
@@s2heaRTSs2 I'm not sure. I lived in Beijing and their subway transportation system was the reason I didn't want to come back. You'd cross the city in 10 minutes or so. Then in Australia I'm waiting half hour for a bus. If you can live off 500 a month in Vietnam as compared to a week's rent you have to calculate everything into percentages. The people in Vietnam obviously earn less than someone in Australia but the percentages tells you who's living better off. In Australia I buy farmed sardines from Vietnam. Why isn't Australia fish farming sardines? So I'm actually supporting Vietnamese sardine workers by being a consumer. Vietnamese have a job from me buying those sardine tins to put on my toast
@@bradley7454 like uve said. Ive been lucky to have traveled abit and alot of the western world dont know how advanced china is. Like literally living in the future. People just admire japan for alot of tech stuff that we dont have in aus but china is very well advanced as any country ive been too.
@@s2heaRTSs2 I dislike how immigrants can come to Australia, they make a large family and the father starts a business. They only employ their children and relatives. So the person who is born in the country can't get a job. For example, Indian people will bring the whole extended family over. Then the Asians like Chinese are advertising for a job. You ask them and they don't want you. It's like they only want their own kind.

@@flourishmorales5200 Wow that’s cool, I have been looking to start investing recently watching self-tutorialc videos on UA-cam can you share some tips to start investing for newbie.
I live in Australia and this video makes me realise that despite our financial difficulties these days, compare to other countries, Australia score very high in all categories. No, we are not often no 1 or the best, but Australia is on the top list on every categories: GDP, PPP, education, health, living standard, safety, tourism, services, products, etc.
It's true that Australia scores very high in categories such as education, health, and standard of living, and these are important factors that contribute to the overall well-being of its citizens. While Australia may not always rank as the best in every category, it's clear that the country has a lot to offer and is well-regarded globally.
I beg to differ. Overall the standard of living for most of us Australians is very high. The mining sector in Western Australia for example pays high wages, especially to those in the trades. The royalties paid by mining companies to state governments reduces the need to tax individuals at a higher level. All the infrastructure and other developments created by these companies create large amounts of employment with high wages. So the wealth being created is definitely being shared and improves the standards of living of Australia. The companies who create these enterprises bear the risk. I have no problem with them making healthy profits. I would also point out that for most Australian’s their superannuation fund balances represent a significant proportion of their personal wealth. A lot of funds hold investments in the resources sector. So when the publicly listed resource companies grow and make profits, that is shared by all those Australians whose super funds have invested in them.

I am originally from Japan but I am so proud and lucky to live in Australia for the last 17 years. I thank the government for having granted me a permanent visa after uni.
There are a lot of famous people in Japan, Korea and China that studied or are from australia. Most k-pop groupd have at least one australian member, why is that so?
As Australian, I can feel that this is not the case much now. The inflation is affecting average people, the high cost of living is painful now and we can slowly feel the sting now.

I really love living in Australia even though prices of things have temporarily gone up due to economic stuff. The sights are beautiful, and people are generally really nice. I also love the healthcare system because it’s almost always available and affordable.
There is a great quote that "Australia is a lucky country run by second rate people." We have so many natural blessings, but our government just cruises on that.
@S w Our leadership has been iconically awful for most of our history. The point of the quote is that despite regularly bad leadership (usually from the Liberals and the Party that preceeded them) Australia never seems to have any economic meltdowns and never seems to have internal civil strife.
thats actually a thing that happens to countries that have natural resouces, they tend to direct their money to making more money from those natural resouces at the expense of their people, they neglect hospitals, schools etc and funnel more money into mining or oil drilling ( like the middle east ) then when the oil or ore runs out the country is broke and because non of the money went into schools/infestructure/hospitals etc their is no replacement money souce for that ore/oil which is the problem the middle east has, and australia will have
Australia changes its government more than its undies. I mean Im pretty sure theres been a few times where the PM changed when there wasnt an election. So be proud to know that voters see a crappy government and actively chooses to change it. A certain country refuses to do that.
@@jamesdeegan7365 don't forget the money funneled into corrupt leaders & their cronies pockets & lack of diversification of the economy into any area with potential & trying again if failure occurs, think Ord River Scheme, built to grow cotton then failed but gov supported mixed farming now great fruit & veg supplier. Plus of course "work ethic" something missing from nearly all non Anglo dominated ex colonial countries. Spanish & Portuguese ones in particular come to mind
History also has played a role in the current state of Australia along with Australia's close relationship with US, UK and Canada. This makes the transfer of know-how in tech, healthcare, education, energy and infrastructure easier.
And we have growing homeless , unaffordable homes unless you are a CEO or senior management. They seem to believe workers should be happy just to have a job and nothing else. Education, my daughter is already up for $ 70000. Weekly shopping almost the same as unaffordable homes and mortgages.
@@aheat3036 Given our relatively small population and "going to the snow" is an activity only able to be done for a few weeks each year in basically 1 certain spot. I would say having anyone in the Winter Olympics at all, let alone bringing home a couple of medals is punching well above our weight.
As an Australian,I can confirm it's a great country...but the corona virus stuffed up the cost of everything and also we have shortage of staff in the hospitality industry (my job).
@@quantumfrost9467 The lockdowns stuffed up the economy at first, but it has continued to be stuffed up since by the jabs and the mandates and the bullshit barely-accurate RATs. Most of the population no longer have properly working immune systems, hence our choking hospital emergency rooms, but also there is massive forced absenteeism from work for positive RATs for a sniff. Also, I believe people don't want to work because it will require them to get further jabs. This situation will not be eased until all the insane mandates are ended, but that would require state premiers to relinquish some of their self-appointed god powers.
Yep, and the fact that people on the east coast are having to pay export prices for the natural gas that belongs to all Australians exemplifies this point. Foreign corporations are setting the price because none of the gas was reserved for use by Australians. WA set local reservation levels on their gas, so they're not being screwed as badly by the corporations.
There are poor people everywhere. It's just a fact of life. Many are lucky to have careers that isn't available in other countries, and make a good life out of it.
@@coover65 These threads always get taken over by left wing activists trying to spread communism and fear. Governments could give everyone a thousand $$ a day handout and there'd still be people who end up poor and whinge about how unfair it all is. It's just human nature.

I am happy to see that my daughter is living in a most dignified manner in her own home & doing a good job communsereting her education & experience. Lightly populated country where personal security is ensured & pure variety foods are available. Education system is unique.
Australia is really a great and beautiful country respected, loved and admired by people around the world. Its democratic political system and faire social system have fostered its economy prosperity enjoyed by Australian citizens and residents. Certainly there is no perfect thing in the world and Australia is no exception, but Australia never stops its progress towards better life and better future.

@@ChasingDragons420 There are differing views within Indigenous Australians, obviously but most don’t hold this view, most feel Aus is racist toward them. It’s certainly no comparison to the apartheid SA I left- a crime against humanity until 1993-as you held equal rights , ( although discriminated against) . We left when I was a child at the height of apartheid -1980’s- as my Mum couldn’t live with Apartheid. However the history is terrible and Australia did not teach the true black and genocidal history to our students. It practiced a ‘ cult of forgetting’ and the lack of treaty is a disgrace. Other colonised commonwealth nations have treaties with their First peoples including self governance, ownership of minerals, self determination etc. It’s going through a big overhaul now , finally. Sovereignty is what most FN people desire; it’s just how we get to it that differs.
It's great to hear that you admire the country's political and social systems, as well as its economic prosperity. Australia has a rich history and a bright future, and it's no wonder that so many people around the world respect and love the country. Your observation that once people live in Australia, they develop a love for the country and a desire to see it succeed is a testament to its welcoming and inclusive culture.
❤definitely the best country in the world. So grateful to my ancestors migrating to this country. Long live Australia and all people who live on her land.
Would be nice to see those profits reduce the peoples cost of living. "“Australians pay some of the highest residential electricity bills in the world.” South Australia tops the list with just under A$0.50 per kWh, with New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria also represented in the world's top 10 highest electricity prices" Internet speed is amongst the lowest in the developed world. There is really no excuse for this, we have a low population and massive profits rolling in. Every Australian SHOULD be feeling the benefits.
We do reap the benefits. We're almost as good as the dense countries even though we're so spread out. We're very lucky here considering the extraordinary extra costs of that sprawl.
Yes there is an excuse for this situation we're finding ourselves in it's called privatisation.... back in the day state govs sold off electricity supply for short term one off payments & left supply to companies who's motives are profit driven. Hence maintenance of existing facilities & construction of new ones are more likely to be made with consideration to profit & loss reports & shareholders returns not the betterment of the public as was the case previously. Govs of both persuasions were guilty of this & today it's us that pays the price. What's needed now is a fresh dose of nationalisation again to bring these infrastructure assets back into public ownership that's the only way prices will ever come down
We had the once in a century mining boom less than 20 years ago and today it seems we cannot afford education, teachers are quitting, child care in crisis, aged care in crisis, police officers quitting, health care a similar story. Australia is a rich continent, that's for sure, but looks like the money has been snaffled by unknown third parties.
Hmm, police are always quitting, it's a stressful job, same for health workers during the bad times . . like Covid and bad flu. Child care workers have to get all sorts of certificates, then work for shit wages. It's the wages that needs to come up to par. But yeah, the rich take a good portion of the money. I'd like to be rich, would you?
@@jed2055 You wrote " It's the wages that needs to come up to par" which was the exact point I was making. How is it that we are not paying the remuneration that the jobs I highlighted deserve? How do successive governments justify caps on public sector wage rises while the resources revenues are being handed over to unknown third parties?
Mining is still booming, it’ll keep going for decades to come. The governments take a good chunk out of the profits. The rest of the money goes to investors and gets reinvested
@@holgerlubotzki3469 "How is it that we are not paying the remuneration that these jobs deserve". Umm, exactly what remuneration are YOU paying? If you feel so strongly about it, start your own business and you can pay people whatever you like. But I guess it's a lot easier to complain on the internet that other people aren't spending their money the way you would like.
@@daleviker5884 I run my own business in a niche sector and I am paying the best rates in town. Also also pay plenty of tax and that is the money that should be used to pay for teachers, nurses, aged carers, police, etc. Nice try on your part to put up a some kind of lame strawman counter but you fell flat on your face.
For me the literal only downside to being Aussie is our distance from other continents. I love when I go to Europe I can drive 45 minutes and be in one of 3 countries on the border that have different languages and cultures and history. In Australia you drive 45 minutes and you haven't left the driveway so we can be pretty insulated and ignorant as a result but we're curious and friendly and love to travel and embrace the different cultures that come here which counters that pretty beautifully imo
Our physical isolation is probably the main thing that’s protected us from invasion over the last hundred years. Our navy is only really equipped to defend a single city in the event of invasion, so it’s lucky we’re less likely to have to contend with that. Also makes things like illegal drug, gun and human trafficking much much harder because there are no land borders to sneak across. I think Australia will be one of the safest countries to be in the coming uncertain years. Much less risk of invasion than European or Asian countries and much less civil unrest than the US.
Every time I go to the supermarket the price of food always goes up on a weekly basis and then there's the rent which is very expensive and it's just going to get more expensive.

@@davidlp3019 I've spent much time in US & consider this, unless you are rich you will definitely die of your average smoking related cancer over there as there is little public medicine. Hence no need for a 'pay it forward' tax like we have here where if you can't pay you don't have to. Over there it's it's pay up or piss off. Health insurance is a joke there with so many loopholes & exit strategies most people find when they need it, it's of no use cause they try hard to find a reason to not pay out when you need it most. If you're paying over a $ a dart you should reconsider smoking as a necessary part of your life
As an immigrant of nearly 50 years, I can tell you all of the above is true. What he didn't say is that because of all those things, people here are more upbeat, youngsters look to the future brimming with confidence. Who doesn't feel good on a warm, bright sunny day, with a job and money in your pocket? Bearing in mind those days are 9/10 months of the year.
Youngsters do not look to the future brimming with confidence in Australia, unless they are from rich families. You are clearly not in touch with young people in different socio-economic groups
You're either living in a very rich neighbourhood that you don't often leave, or you've got your head deep in the sand mate. This country is doing everything it can to fuck young people over. Those that aren't born into wealth anyway.
Australia is very mineral rich as the author of this video has explained. We have large coal exports from the eastern states. There is also lot's of iron exports from Western and Central Australia. This along with the agricultural exports makes Australia a rich nation
Like most Assies you know nothing. Indonesia is 300 km from Australia. Think west Timor to Darwin. Indonesia's population is huge and their economy growing. I'm an Aussie but I can read .

@@ritaa1359 I respect your opinion. Not sure where you've lived long (not just visited), but I have lived in the UK, US, Japan, Dubai, and Singapore as an expat. And every time I've been overseas I've missed Australia so much. The good food, quiet life style, the coffee in Melbourne, Footy, Cricket, Rugby, the beaches and our friendly people. Truly a lucky country.
It's often said that 90% of Australia is largely uninhabited, and as an Australian, I would agree that it is the case. However it also means that 10% of Australia is not uninhabited, an area of about 300,000 sq. kilometres, or about the size of France and England combined. This puts into perspective, not just the size of inhabited Australia, but also the sparseness of the settled land. Australia has just 26 million people, whereas France and England have a population of about 120 million, giving Australia about 20% of the population size of their European cousins. When I've travelled about Australia it seems clear that there are degrees of harshness that make some land more harsh than inhabited. I grew up on a wheat farm in Western Australia which is although agricultural, it has a limited season for growing anything. This would typify perhaps as much as the 5% of Australia that is neither populated nor unpopulated, but it still produces agriculture. In actual desert areas, there are beef and sheep stations. These can be huge, some as big as small countries, where residents often travel by plane. Knowing Australia as I do, most people living in the desert do so because they want to. It's a free country for anyone who wishes to relocate.
Your observations highlight the stark contrast between the size of inhabited Australia and the densely populated countries in Europe, despite the two continents being relatively close in size. The existence of vast, uninhabited areas in Australia is a testament to the country's rugged and remote terrain, and it's clear that life in these regions can be harsh and challenging. However, as you mentioned, there are still those who choose to live and work in these areas, often because of a strong sense of community and a love for the unique landscapes and lifestyles.

I don't understand the reference to 'lay judges' in the Anglo-Saxon model, compared with the "professional judges" in the European model. All judges in Australia have completed law degrees, and those in the higher courts have many years of experience in practising, either in law firms or at the bar. They can hardly be described as 'lay'.
I think he means Aust judges are employed from working lawyers so anybody of any class or background can be a judge. Some countries have a special institution that educates judges to just be judges, and its elitist and very hard for the average person to be accepted.
@@donttalkcrap Justices of the peace in local courts, who deal with misdemeanours rather than major crime, need have no law degree or any official legal training
I am very thankful to live in this beautiful country. Moved here at the age of 9, grew up in a poor country to working class parents. I had the privilege of higher education and the opportunity to live a high-quality life. While there is overpopulation around the world I am blessed to be in an underpopulated nation with clean water and fresh air 🙏
Proud to call Australia home since 2006. Safe and reliable community service. No pick pocketers.. like I experienced in Paris 😀. Dropped my phone on the trained and was returned.
Great video, except I don't understand why coal and iron ore weren't mentioned as exports. They are the top two Australian exports and the mining boom is one of the reasons Australia is so rich.
As someone who lives in Adelaide, AUS, it's so cool seeing how fast my city went from a small town of 10,000 inhabitants to the 3rd most liveable city in the world. We really do have it lucky. I would say that Australia is very impressive, a tiny population with a massive economy. edit: ignore the comments, somehow I managed to attract someone called "Gary Newton" that clearly has too much time on their hands and too many hypocritical statements to make. Think about this, they actually got mad at me for referencing data that they personally don't agree with. I don't give a shit if you don't like the pizza here, you probably don't go to the places I go to. This man is literally rating a city's livability off of his personal tastes in cuisine in comparison with a small fraction of the cities places. I'm going to cry. TLDR: I don't care about your opinion, It wasn't even my opinion necessarily since I was only using data and statistics so idk why you're all getting so worked up.
Aus was built by people using hard work & cooperation in isolation with little to no technology. Nothing lucky about it Aus is a harsh land that took effort to tame & our forebears over many generations made that massive economy we live in today. If you're enjoying your comfortable life in that livable city thank them not luck

It is people like you that are ruining Australian cities: longer journeys to work, less living space, more homelessness, stagnant wages, suburbs that were once leafy turned into heat sinks and new suburbs subdivided so densely that there is no room for trees.
Honestly, Australia is so much better than the US and any other country. Free healthcare, solid economy, during covid the government gave people nearly $1000 AUD per week, and one of the best landscapes to ever exist. Also, Racism levels in Australia are much lower than the US, with gun violence barely existing. The culture is very multicultural and amazing to settle as a family.

@@mgsolf3421 No, no matter how rich a country gets there are always people in Australia who complain because they don’t know how good they have it. They take it for granted and think the government should give them more. That is just human nature everywhere really.
Moved from South Africa to Australia in 2007, never looked back. Everything works here, the quality of life is by South African standards, FANTASTIC. I earn a 6 figure salary, own a beautiful house in a very good suburb.
Only a very small percentage of that gdp makes it into Australia as most of the big earners are listed companies and 86% of all listed companies are foreign owned, the more successful of those companies are almost completely foreign owned,yes some of those companies pay proper taxes a lot of them especially the biggest and most profitable fiddle the books excessively to the point they pay very little in terms of percentage of what the companies are really making (oil and gas,mining,banking)the way figures and stats for average income are, unemployment etc etc are measured differently in Australia than USA,Canada,UK , because our countries politicians choose to try and fool the public with beautiful numbers but they are lies but economists know what the real numbers are. There are millions of people struggling to survive with the huge and out of control cost of living in Australia, I would estimate roughly 50% maybe more.Unless you already own a home most won't be able to afford one anymore and are forced to rent in a market where there isn't enough housing so rent keeps spiralling ridiculously out of control nation wide with very little government measures to combat the lack of housing and they keep migration very high compounding the issue dramatically.

My grandparents and parents worked for years without pay! Their paycheck went to the Govt building schools, hospitals, Govt buildings etc... After milking cows, driving tractors, scrubbing floors, cooking, cleaning etc, Mum came back home to her young family - lining up for tea, sugar, rice flour etc... After spending a few weeks family time with my father brother and sister - Dad got sent away again for months of work without pay. And mum got sent back to milking cows, scrubbing floors cooking cleaning with my brother and sister to care for - mum couldn't even get a govt pass to get my brother to the city for his kidney problems, he was 2! This went on until 1973! We were born, lived and controlled under Australia's Govt 'police protection Act' Australia's very own concentration camps - that still exists today!
well the australian protection act was written back in 1894, it was a different world back then... fortunately it was finally repealed in 1969, although the missions are still around they are completely different to what they were and the restrictions that previous existed, it's a disservice to those impacted by them to compare what they are now to what they were
Thanks, as an arrogant white Australian male I do like to hear on occasion that my country isn’t the evil den of colonialism, racial, gender, and non binary oppression, I am constantly reminded of, whenever I hear anything, regarding any matter on my local media.🙄

You sound like you're living the dream......it's great to hear stories of people coming over, working hard and enjoying the fruits of their hard work......
Everything is great in Australia exept the housing price . i came to Australia 31 years ago , bought my 4 bedroom house for $214.000 , today is worth over $1.1 million , my weakly income was $650 , now days you might earn $900 per week , and i live around 30 km away from the city , closer you get ,higher you pay , 2 weeks ago my aunty sold here 2 bedroom unit 12 km away from the city for 1.3 million .it's just ridiculous , it's rediculous. If a young couple decide to get married , and take mortgage to buy their dream house , avrage house start from $1 million , weekly payment $750 . how many years will take them to pay that off ? lets say they both work , combined they earn $1800 per week , take of $750 for mortgage $1050 left , shoping , petrol , electricity bill , mobile bill , counsil rate , water bill , so they worked the whole week by the end $0 saving .
I just brought a 631 acre property for 7.5 million and I’m estimating to sell it in 20 years time for about 10 million and monthly pay on it is like 10k or some shit but if you ever need a job hit me up I pay very good
Thank you for a mini documentary that rings true to this Aussie. I've seen some bad ones that preference jokes over much actual information. As far as agile economies go, personally I'd much rather have the regulatory protections of the EU, especially where it comes to food safety and internet rules. Our primary food produce is very good, but we allow 4000 food additives in our processed food banned in the EU. I'm not happy about that. At the moment, AFAIK, it is the Air BnB investment sector driving up the property prices the most. It used to be foreigners and investment/retirement trusts buying housing as part of their balanced portfolios, and leaving it empty so that there is no wear and tear from tenants depreciating the price of the property. However the government put a modest tax on empty properties which curbed that market somewhat. Family reunion migration is a large portion of immigration, as well as skilled sector migration. Australia took in a large (proportional to our then population) amount of European and eastern Mediterranean and Jewish refugees after WW1, and up to 25k Vietnamese refugees arrived by boat every year for many years during and after the Vietnam war, even during the 1980s. Our thriving food, coffee and cafe culture was very much built by refugees and their many family members who migrated to be with them in their train.
Would be very intresting to compare today's "rich" Australia to what it was around 1900. Much richer then without reliance on mineral and coal exports.
No, Australia was rich then too, due to gold and wool. In the late 1800s, Australia and Argentina were two of the most prosperous countries on the planet. Argentina screwed up in the 1900s but Australia continued to do ok.
The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government.

Curious about how you find the racism here? My African friends arriving from South Africa find Melbourne quite good, they say the racism is subtle ( when it exists). However Melbourne also is the most progressive and multicultural city in Australia. And I guess everything seems less racist than South Africa!!
My thoughts are because many Africans arrive here skilled they do well however the treatment/attitude and racism toward Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people requires a lot of work.

@@annanudniduck Canberra is the vanguard of progressiveness for the country. Just because Dan says Melbourne is, doesn't mean it's a fact. Sydney is the most multi-cultural city, followed by Melbourne. Another fact... numbers dont lie!
Uhhh, speaking as an Australian, this is the best broad and brief overview of the country that I've ever seen. Nailed it. The visual selections of places and scenery were incredible too.
(Apologetically, to any viewers that think it's a perfect land, it's not. We tend to take a lot for granted and have the same human trials and tribulations as anywhere else, and super high depression and suicide rates. An awesome place to be if you have plenty of money, and a good attitude to life)
We have a LOT of problems, but one just has to look across the ocean to see pretty much everywhere else has the same but worse. I honestly couldn't imagine wanting to live anywhere else, though New Zealand would be a very close second.
As a Aboriginal from Australia I think this is quite accurate
We have a lot of advantages but a few undesirable problems, such as the extreme cost of living, it's higher than ever especially with housing in Sydney and Melbourne.

Because I looked at this country from an outside perspective at one stage when I ran away to China in hopes to create a better life than in Australia. It ended with going to a detention centre. The story of my life. It was because everything was made in China.
@@bradley7454 people only go back to vietnam when they dont need money or have enough money. They just want happiness, they just want the final chapter without worry and stress of bills etc because most homes in vietnam are paid off by family so theres no worry about bills, money problems.

@@s2heaRTSs2 I'm not sure. I lived in Beijing and their subway transportation system was the reason I didn't want to come back. You'd cross the city in 10 minutes or so. Then in Australia I'm waiting half hour for a bus.
If you can live off 500 a month in Vietnam as compared to a week's rent you have to calculate everything into percentages. The people in Vietnam obviously earn less than someone in Australia but the percentages tells you who's living better off.

@@s2heaRTSs2 I dislike how immigrants can come to Australia, they make a large family and the father starts a business. They only employ their children and relatives. So the person who is born in the country can't get a job. For example, Indian people will bring the whole extended family over. Then the Asians like Chinese are advertising for a job. You ask them and they don't want you. It's like they only want their own kind.

I live in Australia and this video makes me realise that despite our financial difficulties these days, compare to other countries, Australia score very high in all categories. No, we are not often no 1 or the best, but Australia is on the top list on every categories: GDP, PPP, education, health, living standard, safety, tourism, services, products, etc.
It's true that Australia scores very high in categories such as education, health, and standard of living, and these are important factors that contribute to the overall well-being of its citizens. While Australia may not always rank as the best in every category, it's clear that the country has a lot to offer and is well-regarded globally.
As an Aussie, it’s actually kind of disappointing that we sell so much of our resources to private corps and so much of that wealth goes to a few.
I beg to differ. Overall the standard of living for most of us Australians is very high. The mining sector in Western Australia for example pays high wages, especially to those in the trades. The royalties paid by mining companies to state governments reduces the need to tax individuals at a higher level. All the infrastructure and other developments created by these companies create large amounts of employment with high wages. So the wealth being created is definitely being shared and improves the standards of living of Australia. The companies who create these enterprises bear the risk. I have no problem with them making healthy profits.
I would also point out that for most Australian’s their superannuation fund balances represent a significant proportion of their personal wealth. A lot of funds hold investments in the resources sector. So when the publicly listed resource companies grow and make profits, that is shared by all those Australians whose super funds have invested in them.
Easily overcome. Buy shares in our mining companies. It is not difficult and not expensive. Don't stand on the side-lines forever

There is a great quote that "Australia is a lucky country run by second rate people." We have so many natural blessings, but our government just cruises on that.

@S w Our leadership has been iconically awful for most of our history. The point of the quote is that despite regularly bad leadership (usually from the Liberals and the Party that preceeded them) Australia never seems to have any economic meltdowns and never seems to have internal civil strife.
thats actually a thing that happens to countries that have natural resouces, they tend to direct their money to making more money from those natural resouces at the expense of their people, they neglect hospitals, schools etc and funnel more money into mining or oil drilling ( like the middle east ) then when the oil or ore runs out the country is broke and because non of the money went into schools/infestructure/hospitals etc their is no replacement money souce for that ore/oil which is the problem the middle east has, and australia will have
Australia changes its government more than its undies. I mean Im pretty sure theres been a few times where the PM changed when there wasnt an election. So be proud to know that voters see a crappy government and actively chooses to change it. A certain country refuses to do that.

Plus of course "work ethic" something missing from nearly all non Anglo dominated ex colonial countries. Spanish & Portuguese ones in particular come to mind

@@quantumfrost9467 The lockdowns stuffed up the economy at first, but it has continued to be stuffed up since by the jabs and the mandates and the bullshit barely-accurate RATs. Most of the population no longer have properly working immune systems, hence our choking hospital emergency rooms, but also there is massive forced absenteeism from work for positive RATs for a sniff. Also, I believe people don't want to work because it will require them to get further jabs. This situation will not be eased until all the insane mandates are ended, but that would require state premiers to relinquish some of their self-appointed god powers.

Truly Blessed to be an Aussie.
Just because the country is rich, it doesn't mean that it's people are. There's many people here that are struggling financially.
Yep, and the fact that people on the east coast are having to pay export prices for the natural gas that belongs to all Australians exemplifies this point. Foreign corporations are setting the price because none of the gas was reserved for use by Australians. WA set local reservation levels on their gas, so they're not being screwed as badly by the corporations.
There are poor people everywhere. It's just a fact of life. Many are lucky to have careers that isn't available in other countries, and make a good life out of it.

What job you do??
Alot of Australians complain about things here but we have it really, really, REALLY good.
I am happy to see that my daughter is living in a most dignified manner in her own home & doing a good job communsereting her education & experience. Lightly populated country where personal security is ensured & pure variety foods are available. Education system is unique.
Australians should be doing far better than we are.
We're have to pay crazy prices for housing.
Prices are nuts in aus lately
Nothing wrong with our whinging.
Australia is really a great and beautiful country respected, loved and admired by people around the world. Its democratic political system and faire social system have fostered its economy prosperity enjoyed by Australian citizens and residents. Certainly there is no perfect thing in the world and Australia is no exception, but Australia never stops its progress towards better life and better future. No matter where you are from, once living in Australia you would love it and wish the best for it.
It’s great unless you’re a First Nations Australian
@@annanudniduck I'm a first nations person and Australia is great. Specially for the first nations people who make a living off being professional victims.
@@ChasingDragons420 somehow i have a feeling you arent first nations or have very little first nations in you
@@ChasingDragons420 There are differing views within Indigenous Australians, obviously but most don’t hold this view, most feel Aus is racist toward them.
It’s certainly no comparison to the apartheid SA I left- a crime against humanity until 1993-as you held equal rights , ( although discriminated against) . We left when I was a child at the height of apartheid -1980’s- as my Mum couldn’t live with Apartheid.
However the history is terrible and Australia did not teach the true black and genocidal history to our students. It practiced a ‘ cult of forgetting’ and the lack of treaty is a disgrace. Other colonised commonwealth nations have treaties with their First peoples including self governance, ownership of minerals, self determination etc. It’s going through a big overhaul now , finally. Sovereignty is what most FN people desire; it’s just how we get to it that differs.
It's great to hear that you admire the country's political and social systems, as well as its economic prosperity. Australia has a rich history and a bright future, and it's no wonder that so many people around the world respect and love the country. Your observation that once people live in Australia, they develop a love for the country and a desire to see it succeed is a testament to its welcoming and inclusive culture.
❤definitely the best country in the world. So grateful to my ancestors migrating to this country. Long live Australia and all people who live on her land.
Would be nice to see those profits reduce the peoples cost of living. "“Australians pay some of the highest residential electricity bills in the world.” South Australia tops the list with just under A$0.50 per kWh, with New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria also represented in the world's top 10 highest electricity prices"
Internet speed is amongst the lowest in the developed world.
There is really no excuse for this, we have a low population and massive profits rolling in. Every Australian SHOULD be feeling the benefits.
I'll give you one guess as to where that money has gone to. Hint: leaders.
Lucky my street has 1GBps speeds in Sydney. Cant complaint. And no its not Telstra lol
We do reap the benefits. We're almost as good as the dense countries even though we're so spread out. We're very lucky here considering the extraordinary extra costs of that sprawl.
Yes there is an excuse for this situation we're finding ourselves in it's called privatisation.... back in the day state govs sold off electricity supply for short term one off payments & left supply to companies who's motives are profit driven. Hence maintenance of existing facilities & construction of new ones are more likely to be made with consideration to profit & loss reports & shareholders returns not the betterment of the public as was the case previously. Govs of both persuasions were guilty of this & today it's us that pays the price. What's needed now is a fresh dose of nationalisation again to bring these infrastructure assets back into public ownership that's the only way prices will ever come down
@@originalsusser Thankfully that won't happen.
We're also getting electricity under market cost at the moment. It won't last long.
We had the once in a century mining boom less than 20 years ago and today it seems we cannot afford education, teachers are quitting, child care in crisis, aged care in crisis, police officers quitting, health care a similar story. Australia is a rich continent, that's for sure, but looks like the money has been snaffled by unknown third parties.
Hmm, police are always quitting, it's a stressful job, same for health workers during the bad times . . like Covid and bad flu. Child care workers have to get all sorts of certificates, then work for shit wages. It's the wages that needs to come up to par. But yeah, the rich take a good portion of the money. I'd like to be rich, would you?
@@jed2055 You wrote " It's the wages that needs to come up to par" which was the exact point I was making.
How is it that we are not paying the remuneration that the jobs I highlighted deserve? How do successive governments justify caps on public sector wage rises while the resources revenues are being handed over to unknown third parties?
Mining is still booming, it’ll keep going for decades to come. The governments take a good chunk out of the profits. The rest of the money goes to investors and gets reinvested
@@holgerlubotzki3469 "How is it that we are not paying the remuneration that these jobs deserve". Umm, exactly what remuneration are YOU paying? If you feel so strongly about it, start your own business and you can pay people whatever you like. But I guess it's a lot easier to complain on the internet that other people aren't spending their money the way you would like.
@@daleviker5884 I run my own business in a niche sector and I am paying the best rates in town.
Also also pay plenty of tax and that is the money that should be used to pay for teachers, nurses, aged carers, police, etc.
Nice try on your part to put up a some kind of lame strawman counter but you fell flat on your face.
For me the literal only downside to being Aussie is our distance from other continents. I love when I go to Europe I can drive 45 minutes and be in one of 3 countries on the border that have different languages and cultures and history. In Australia you drive 45 minutes and you haven't left the driveway so we can be pretty insulated and ignorant as a result but we're curious and friendly and love to travel and embrace the different cultures that come here which counters that pretty beautifully imo
It’s also a big advantage, I’m glad to be in the opposite hemisphere to Putin.
@@redreuben5260 Putin is getting his ass kicked anyway, so he wont dare to do anything in the future
Our physical isolation is probably the main thing that’s protected us from invasion over the last hundred years. Our navy is only really equipped to defend a single city in the event of invasion, so it’s lucky we’re less likely to have to contend with that. Also makes things like illegal drug, gun and human trafficking much much harder because there are no land borders to sneak across. I think Australia will be one of the safest countries to be in the coming uncertain years. Much less risk of invasion than European or Asian countries and much less civil unrest than the US.
Remember that Australians are among the most travelled citizens. What we lack in proximity, we make time to know the place.

@@davidlp3019 I've spent much time in US & consider this, unless you are rich you will definitely die of your average smoking related cancer over there as there is little public medicine. Hence no need for a 'pay it forward' tax like we have here where if you can't pay you don't have to. Over there it's it's pay up or piss off. Health insurance is a joke there with so many loopholes & exit strategies most people find when they need it, it's of no use cause they try hard to find a reason to not pay out when you need it most. If you're paying over a $ a dart you should reconsider smoking as a necessary part of your life
As an immigrant of nearly 50 years, I can tell you all of the above is true. What he didn't say is that because of all those things, people here are more upbeat, youngsters look to the future brimming with confidence. Who doesn't feel good on a warm, bright sunny day, with a job and money in your pocket? Bearing in mind those days are 9/10 months of the year.
Youngsters do not look to the future brimming with confidence in Australia, unless they are from rich families. You are clearly not in touch with young people in different socio-economic groups

@@ritaa1359 I respect your opinion. Not sure where you've lived long (not just visited), but I have lived in the UK, US, Japan, Dubai, and Singapore as an expat. And every time I've been overseas I've missed Australia so much. The good food, quiet life style, the coffee in Melbourne, Footy, Cricket, Rugby, the beaches and our friendly people. Truly a lucky country.
It's often said that 90% of Australia is largely uninhabited, and as an Australian, I would agree that it is the case. However it also means that 10% of Australia is not uninhabited, an area of about 300,000 sq. kilometres, or about the size of France and England combined. This puts into perspective, not just the size of inhabited Australia, but also the sparseness of the settled land. Australia has just 26 million people, whereas France and England have a population of about 120 million, giving Australia about 20% of the population size of their European cousins. When I've travelled about Australia it seems clear that there are degrees of harshness that make some land more harsh than inhabited. I grew up on a wheat farm in Western Australia which is although agricultural, it has a limited season for growing anything. This would typify perhaps as much as the 5% of Australia that is neither populated nor unpopulated, but it still produces agriculture. In actual desert areas, there are beef and sheep stations. These can be huge, some as big as small countries, where residents often travel by plane. Knowing Australia as I do, most people living in the desert do so because they want to. It's a free country for anyone who wishes to relocate.
Your observations highlight the stark contrast between the size of inhabited Australia and the densely populated countries in Europe, despite the two continents being relatively close in size. The existence of vast, uninhabited areas in Australia is a testament to the country's rugged and remote terrain, and it's clear that life in these regions can be harsh and challenging. However, as you mentioned, there are still those who choose to live and work in these areas, often because of a strong sense of community and a love for the unique landscapes and lifestyles.
2 thirds of australia is desert or arid thats why its not inhabited put 100 million people in australia it would be a third world shit hole

I don't understand the reference to 'lay judges' in the Anglo-Saxon model, compared with the "professional judges" in the European model. All judges in Australia have completed law degrees, and those in the higher courts have many years of experience in practising, either in law firms or at the bar. They can hardly be described as 'lay'.
Yeah, I agree. I dispute this reference. They are NOT lay judges.
+The Geography Bible needs to explain this.
I think he means Aust judges are employed from working lawyers so anybody of any class or background can be a judge. Some countries have a special institution that educates judges to just be judges, and its elitist and very hard for the average person to be accepted.
@@donttalkcrap Justices of the peace in local courts, who deal with misdemeanours rather than major crime, need have no law degree or any official legal training

Only a very small percentage of that gdp makes it into Australia as most of the big earners are listed companies and 86% of all listed companies are foreign owned, the more successful of those companies are almost completely foreign owned,yes some of those companies pay proper taxes a lot of them especially the biggest and most profitable fiddle the books excessively to the point they pay very little in terms of percentage of what the companies are really making (oil and gas,mining,banking)the way figures and stats for average income are, unemployment etc etc are measured differently in Australia than USA,Canada,UK , because our countries politicians choose to try and fool the public with beautiful numbers but they are lies but economists know what the real numbers are. There are millions of people struggling to survive with the huge and out of control cost of living in Australia, I would estimate roughly 50% maybe more.Unless you already own a home most won't be able to afford one anymore and are forced to rent in a market where there isn't enough housing so rent keeps spiralling ridiculously out of control nation wide with very little government measures to combat the lack of housing and they keep migration very high compounding the issue dramatically.

Everything is great in Australia exept the housing price . i came to Australia 31 years ago , bought my 4 bedroom house for $214.000 , today is worth over $1.1 million , my weakly income was $650 , now days you might earn $900 per week , and i live around 30 km away from the city , closer you get ,higher you pay , 2 weeks ago my aunty sold here 2 bedroom unit 12 km away from the city for 1.3 million .it's just ridiculous , it's rediculous.
If a young couple decide to get married , and take mortgage to buy their dream house , avrage house start from $1 million , weekly payment $750 . how many years will take them to pay that off ? lets say they both work , combined they earn $1800 per week , take of $750 for mortgage $1050 left , shoping , petrol , electricity bill , mobile bill , counsil rate , water bill , so they worked the whole week by the end $0 saving .
I just brought a 631 acre property for 7.5 million and I’m estimating to sell it in 20 years time for about 10 million and monthly pay on it is like 10k or some shit but if you ever need a job hit me up I pay very good

Thank you for a mini documentary that rings true to this Aussie. I've seen some bad ones that preference jokes over much actual information.
As far as agile economies go, personally I'd much rather have the regulatory protections of the EU, especially where it comes to food safety and internet rules. Our primary food produce is very good, but we allow 4000 food additives in our processed food banned in the EU. I'm not happy about that.
At the moment, AFAIK, it is the Air BnB investment sector driving up the property prices the most. It used to be foreigners and investment/retirement trusts buying housing as part of their balanced portfolios, and leaving it empty so that there is no wear and tear from tenants depreciating the price of the property. However the government put a modest tax on empty properties which curbed that market somewhat.
Family reunion migration is a large portion of immigration, as well as skilled sector migration. Australia took in a large (proportional to our then population) amount of European and eastern Mediterranean and Jewish refugees after WW1, and up to 25k Vietnamese refugees arrived by boat every year for many years during and after the Vietnam war, even during the 1980s. Our thriving food, coffee and cafe culture was very much built by refugees and their many family members who migrated to be with them in their train.
Would be very intresting to compare today's "rich" Australia to what it was around 1900. Much richer then without reliance on mineral and coal exports.
Sheep.
Research the Australian gold boom
Are you fucking serious? Ever heard of gold champ?
Everyone in the world was impoverished in 1900.
No, Australia was rich then too, due to gold and wool. In the late 1800s, Australia and Argentina were two of the most prosperous countries on the planet. Argentina screwed up in the 1900s but Australia continued to do ok.
