Dark Sides of Living in Australia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- What are the dark sides of Australia? Australia is a beautiful country with so much to offer and enjoy. But like any other place, it has its dark sides too. From the scorching heat of the outback to the insidious racism that still persists in some areas, living in Australia can be difficult for many people, especially those from minority backgrounds. This video will explore some of these darker aspects of life Down Under, such as climate change, mental health issues and cultural differences between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. It will also discuss how we can work together to create a more equitable society where everyone can thrive despite their background or circumstances.
1. Internet is Bad
Internet in Australia is becoming increasingly unreliable and expensive. With the cost of data plans rising, many people are unable to afford access to the internet, making it difficult for them to stay connected with family and friends or work from home. The quality of connection can also be poor, leading to slow speeds and frequent disruptions which make streaming video or downloading large files nearly impossible. Furthermore, Australians pay some of the highest prices in the world for broadband services due to a lack of competition between providers. All these problems are putting a strain on the country's digital economy and inhibiting innovation within its borders.
2. Difficult to Make Friends (Australians are Friendly but Not Friends)
Making friends in Australia can be difficult. Australians are known for being friendly and open, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will become your friend. Although there are many people who you may come into contact with on a daily basis, such as colleagues or classmates, building meaningful relationships with them can take time and effort. It's not just about having common interests or similar backgrounds; it's also about connecting emotionally and feeling comfortable enough to share stories from your pasts. As an outsider coming to Australia, it might take some getting used to the culture before you can make genuine friendships with locals.
3. Racism
Racism in Australia is a problem that has been present for many years. It is an issue that affects the lives of people from all walks of life, including Indigenous Australians, migrants and refugees. Racism can be seen in various forms such as discriminatory behaviour, unequal access to resources and services, or exclusion from social activities. Unfortunately, racism continues to affect many aspects of our society today and unfortunately there are still too many instances where individuals are treated differently based on their racial background or cultural identity.
There have been numerous reports over the past decade suggesting that levels of racism remain high in Australia with a survey conducted by the Scanlon Foundation indicating that one out of four Australians experience discrimination due to their race at least once per year. The Australian Human Rights Commission also reported a significant increase in complaints about race-related matters since 2010/2011 showing an alarming trend towards increasing levels of prejudice within our communities.
Furthermore, research into Indigenous deaths in custody has revealed that Indigenous Australians are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system and are more likely to be incarcerated than non-Indigenous people. This is a clear example of how racism can have serious implications for individuals, families and communities.
It is important for us all to work together towards eliminating racism from our society by promoting positive attitudes towards cultural diversity, understanding different perspectives, challenging stereotypes and speaking out against discrimination whenever we see it. By doing this, we can help create an inclusive Australia where everyone feels respected and valued regardless of their race or ethnicity.

@@thanhtung1990tung Its Jamie Davies I live in the UK country.. I wouldn't survive in Australia country at all @thanhtung1990tung my mate and friend????????
As an Aussie some of this shocked me but I agree with it all. It’s beautiful but it definitely isn’t a walk in the park. You’ll learn a lot
Australia is only beautiful in the coastal areas. 85% of Australia is ugly, brown, DRIED UP DESERT!
Canada is way better🇨🇦😎
@@11universita7
Not for people of color, I saw videos on social media of black/African people crying and having mental breakdown because they feel socially isolated in Canada because of racism.
It might be a better place for white people but other ethnic groups suffer there sadly
As an Australian, it's very hard to make friends!!!!
So this is very TRUE.
As an African living in Australia, I 💯 co-sign your comment.
Social isolation is a big problem in Australia, it's hard to make connections with people
To be honest, making friends in adult ages is quite difficult in many countries, even for locals
Can depend where you are I imagine for making friends. Sydney is easier than Perth for instance. It can take time and is effort for everyone. So yeh maybe that is actually a thing. But there's heaps of opportunities... Just depends if you bother or not
P.s. trying too hard tends to repel. Be cool and patience and get on with having your own fun. Its a small world... Circles will overlap soon enough
@@Sarah.M98this is 100 percent true.
I've been living in Melbourne for 15 years now. I wouldn't want to be in any other city. Australia has given me the opportunity to create my perfect life. I'm so grateful to be living in such an amazing country.
I haven't experienced any racism nor any of the so called problems you have mentioned in the video.
Sorry, best country to be living in and I've travelled the world many times over.
It still is the lucky country ☺
Thanks for sharing your fantastic experiences, I wish you the best timing 🎉
Bullshit!!!

@@suarakeadilan8157that’s China town. Australia is very multicultural & respects other’s cultures.
Good & Bad one finds in every country. If you don’t like living in Australia “LEAVE.” Find somewhere but you will never be content anywhere because you are a “WHINGER.”
Making friends it is not easy in Australia. I agree
Are people there so self centered?

@@ghassanjneinaty4421 as a third generation Australian who lived in Australia for 4 decades and who's also lived in multiple other countries, I have to say Aussies are intitially friendly in general but also generally pretty socially political in comparison, especially where so many people are related to on another, but not necessarily all over the country, it's location dependant.
I agree. Its hard to make friends here. But it's ridiculously easy to make enemies.
@@1legend517
💯, also a lot of people are not open to multiculturalism and tend to stick with their own kinds.
It’s impossible to make genuine friendships in Australia. Unless it’s with a foreigner.
I've had that exact same problem. And even then the foreigners only stick with each other.
I agree. Its hard to make friends here. But it's ridiculously easy to make enemies.
I couldn't agree more!
I've lived in Perth my whole life. And it's not just friendships that are impossible to make but I've also been unable to find a partner here as well.
@@1legend517Perth is the worth!
i was born in Australia, i have seen racism everywhere, but for me the amount of violence is crazy, crime is out of control, most Aussie just pretend everything is fine but its far from fine, i lived 45 years in Australia served in the Army in the 70s, the hatred towards any one in uniform was also crazy, now living in se asia where very safe to live
Correct, until the last decade or so, home invasions and car jackings were pretty much unheard of in Australia, these days it appears they're an every day occurrence , also the justice system has become overly politicized with certain agendas.
It depends where you live, it's not that bad where I am, I heard Queensland is bad.thanks to lame local government policies.
Crime is up since people have.come from sub continent
😂...
and COKAINE
Yes..agree with you..
They are friendly but not easy to be friends
Canada is better🇨🇦🇨🇦
Private health care may be expensive but you don't need it. We have a very good free health care system.
Good healthcare system? What planet are you living on?
I had melanoma. I was cactus. With excellent care and treatment I recovered. It would have cost hundreds of thousands but I didn't have to pay a cent.@@libatalklieb5793
Medicare in Australia is only free for those who don't pay income tax , the average Aussie pays $thousands per year towards the Medicare levy.
In a good society the strong look after the weak, the young look after the old and the healthy look after the sick.@@scottfree993
Private health insurance is not compulsory. If one cannot afford it, one can go without, and the public health system will take care of you. Sure, you may need to queue up if the illness is not life-threatening. If it is, you will be put into the head of the queue. If you don't want to wait in a queue, you can go to a private hospital but you'll need to pay, or your insurance company will pay a major portion and you pay an excess (depending on the terms and conditions of your insurance contract). Fair enough I suppose.
Cost of living is too much here and only getting worse. people on the median wage are now the new working class homeless.
This. People who are circlejerking about Australia being the best country in the world are oblivious to these things. Homelessness is becoming an issue here and will take ugly turn soon.
@@vishalmalik0519 Australia is the best compared to a lot of other couture, I'd never live in places like , America, Thailand, , China , Canada , South or North Korea India , Mexico and many more
@@marypevitt174 Of course it is. Nobody is denying that.
@@vishalmalik0519 I can confirm what been said. I lived in Italy, Spain, France, Mexico, Canada, Argentina, and Korea. The quality of life is amazing in Australia (only Canada gets close to it but the weather and the mass immigration are ruining it). Said so, I agree, it is very expensive but the average salary is way higher than Canada and working balance is way better.
@@user-yk4ox9sz5r ?? Nobody is comparing Australia to failed countries like Spain, Mexico etc. Australia is better but is it the best country? Far from it. The only way to make money here is to have IP. Wages are stagnating and cost of living is rising. If situation constyinues like this, I assure you new generation will not be able to afford basic necessities like housing. We are becoming next Canada. It is not as if we are not promoting immigration.
I agree. I'm an Aussie, 🇦🇺 The social life is Shocking, when it comes to making friends.
What about high cost of living?
Go online. Endure friendship with a slow internet!! LOL.

No. 2 is pretty much the same everywhere
As an Australian, I can advice outsiders to ignore the whining of my butthurt fellow Australians. Yes, we *_do_* have these problems.
As an American, we have the same issues. The negative stuff always gets amplified by social media.
I am a descendant of convict - on my maternal side - on the First Fleet. His name Noel Cavanaugh, and he rowed the boat that carried Captain Arthur Phillip ashore. For the next four years of his life, he was in servitude: and on two occasions was brutally beaten for some type of misdemeanor. Before completing his sentence, he married the daughter of a free settler and worked on farms busting his arse from sunrise to dusk - AS, INDEED, IT WAS THE CASE WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER PERSON, EITHER FREE OR IN SERVITUDE. His granddaughter informed us that her grandfather worked at least 50 hours a week to make ends meet.
As for the (extended) paternal side of my family, they came from Scotland over a 15-month period from the end of 1921. Nearly all of the menfolk were dispatched to the Lithgow area to work in the coal mines. All up, between 1922, and 1964, 17 members of the Meek clan toiled under atrocious conditions, with low wages in those dreadful coal mines. As it transpires, not ONE of those 17 men lived past 61 - the average age of death for them was 57 years of age - from Black Lung type diseases.
With regards to my dad, his father walked out on my nana when she was 7 months pregnant - dad was born in May 1924. My nan worked six days a week as a seamstress in a couple of factories around Sydney. Luckily, her family, the Meeks, allowed her and dad to lodge at their abodes. Dad told me that they were so poor that - as, indeed, it was for majority of people in Australia, too - he never had more than three changes of clothes, and only one pair of shoes, and also a pair of sandals from the time he went to school at five years of age, until he got a job working 8 hours a day on Saturdays in a cotton mill at the age of 12, to earn a few bob.
The point of telling you this, you low-life dog doing the commentary is that Australia - as it also is for NZ, the US, and Canada - became the great societies they did as a DIRECT RESULT of people who arrive from here, there and everywhere and worked their ARSES OFF to build those societies. Alas, we have maggot scum like this piece of guilt-ridden and self-hating piece of white crap castigating my ilk as being virulent racists, who invaded the land and dispossessed the indigenous people.
However, it’s an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that you would be an advocate of open-borders in western lands to permit all and sundry arriving: in order to eradicate those horrible evil white folks. Furthermore, you dog, it’s also an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that, you would have never condemned the insane Islamic fundamentalists, who callously slaughter 530 innocent people in Britain and Europe from April 2004, in the Atocha bombings - and in London in July 2005, and all the way through to Sir David Amess in July 2021: all in the name of Allah.
Similarly, you’d say nothing about the rampant/out of control gang wars occurring in Britain (overwhelmingly) between those of black African heritage.
With respect to Australia and the IMMENSE damage that non-Anglo/European immigrants have brought to bear upon Australia irrefutably prevails with drug gangs. For instance, the scourge of heroin comes as a direct result of Vietnamese drug gangs importing and distributing it here in Oz. Similarly, the cocaine, and ice and other amphetamines/synthetic substances that have destroyed society are ALL the DIRECT RESULT of Middle Eastern and Chinese drug cartels.
So, if it’s all good and proper that Anglo/Celtic and blonde Europeans have to lay down and beg forgiveness for the sins of our forebears then, why pray tell, shouldn’t the Vietnamese, Chinese, and those from the Middle East, seek forgiveness for the sins of their kin? And, don’t ever forget that, the overwhelming cause of the enormous sociological upheavals encumbering the country over the past 40 years can be all traced back to drugs.
What I would really love to see happen to you conducting this shit-canning of Australia, is for you to meet the same fate, at the hands of Islamic fundamentalists, as did Drummer Rigby, in 2013. Whilst that extremely unlikely to occur the next best thing I wish would happen to you is to become severly incapacitated from an accident!!!
I arrived in Australia 52 Years ago, born in Germany. At no time in my life was I the subject of racism, I spent the next 30 Years working on my qualification parallel to holding a Job. I have never been unemployed and held a managerial position for at least 25 years. All the problems in that Vidio originate because some people don't put enough effort into integrating into the Australian way of life. of course, we have our problems, but there is no country without problems. however, you get back what you put in. Australia is still the best country for me even if the bloody Labor Party is hell bend to stuff it all up.
yes the politicians are very substandard these days , ignorant, greedy and selfish all worrying about their investment properties. They are running the country into the ground. Out of touch with ordinary Australians.It used to be a good country.
No money! Try surviving here if you are unemployed or broke!
Well isn’t that true anywhere if you are either unemployed or broke? Please let me know if you ever find a place where I can live comfortably without having to work.
I live in a Australia, I think it's beautiful country, every country has it's problems 🙂🌺

Australia the nation is great. Its the people living there who are not so great.
Absolutely right. Most people are self centred and they can treat you like insects. They can destroy your life. Be cautious and have right people around you.
This video is like what someone would make up about Australia if they have never lived or been here. The racism thing always gets me, Asians and Africans queuing up to come here. Few years back the Indian media went wild over the alleged racist treatment of Indian students in Australia, turned out it was other Indians who were doing it.
The attacks against the Indian students were not caused by other "Indians". Take as an example the Indian student who was stabbed 11 times has a western name. Not sure where the attacker is from.
why they coming there if it's so racist, besides white people are minority in the world, not the other way around,
the caste system I believe?
There are white migrants coming from European countries too,even American countries...I wonder why u only picked Africa & Asia...That's exactly what that video is talking about 😅
@@alphandega258 . Can you show where white European migrants are complaining about racism? Back to school for you.
I'd go there but only for the nice weather, I think most people and places are pretty much the same in this world.
Australia is a beautiful country!
Does not sound like the utopia Australians would like Americans to believe it is. They always argue with us with how they are so much better. I beg to differ. Nothing there I want to see.
Haha now this is ridiculous. I have spent time in both countries and Australia has best to no gun crime, Homelessness or sickening drug problem that is riddled in America!
@@AMan-jg8rf Yea and two recent stabbings in Sydney, one in a mall involving a baby. The state I live in never had a mass mall stabbing or shooting.
I found this clip so untrue. on the contrary there are so much improvement in most areas this clip talked-about since I immigrated to Aus over 30 years ago.
When was this video made?
Only until u come to Dubai and live realise how expensive eveything is 😫 melb specifically is amazing I would say by far the best cities to live in!
Regarding Friends in Australia.
I guess it depends on how a person engages themselves.
If a person gets themselves involved in community activities such as sports, you'll definitely make many, many friends.
I've experienced it while I schooled there.
Today, I still communicate with them via FB While I live in Papua new Guinea.
I have plans to migrate to Australia soon. 😁👍

Australia is beautiful and people are kind. what you said is right, Australians are friendly but not easy to make friends, best line.
Yes, I'm so sad that most of them are dying out...😢
@@user-ti3wk6zs1r LOL Very true, not many left these days!
I've been living in Sydney Australia for just over 40 years. I'd like to comment on two points. [a] Hard to make friends: I think it is up to the individual to be proactive to make friends in Australia. OK, it will take a bit of time, but I find Aussies easy to start a conversation in sports, so try to learn a bit about cricket, tennis, AFL...etc. Once you break the ice, it's not hard to carry onto something else, and friendship flourishes. [b] Racism: I have perhaps experienced once or twice "racist" remarks over 40 years, and that was in the early years when I first migrated to Australia. Thereafter, none. Personally I may even say I experienced "reverse racism" as I had been promoted really fast at work, even ahead of white local people (I'm Asian). This happened a few times in different multi-international companies so I won't attribute my fast promotions to pure luck. There may still be Aussies who believe in the "White Australian policy" but they are now few and far between. I do not know too much about racism against local Aboriginal people, but there are plenty of government policies which favour the original people of the land. And it is illegal to discriminate on racial grounds. So if you suffer from racial discrimination, there are avenues to seek redress.
Asian people in Australia do tend to have 'reverse' racism. They are generally kind and intelligent people and very easy to talk to.
Yeah well said , this clip is clearly has a lefty agenda attached to it.
Is it difficult to date? Because I intend to migrate to Australia while Single....
@@dagwould Who? the Asians or the Australians?
@@denzelheden4256 Good luck with that!
Making mate in Australia like any where in world you work mats someone you like
I am so glad / relieved to see someone mention the prevalent and insidious racism.
One of the saddest things to see tis hat there is a "pecking order" ... even recent arrivals treated badly seem to be willing to look down on indigenous people.
That some do not / cannot see it reflects so-called "colour blindness".
I have to agree it is NOT as evident as it was when I was young; perhaps it is merely more covert.
Many of the immigrants to Australia are the worst racists. Especially to wards the indigenous people and even towards other cultures and calling Australians "white-ties" saying were are all criminals from convicts, and inferior to them, so don't blame Australians.

Thanks for sharing ❤ always love Australia, been here for 30 yrs now, I have Australian friends and Filipinos like me. All and all I’m happy .
I agree with some points in this video, but the point on racism is just not true, Australia has welcomed many people from various nations and is very multicultural , this would not happen if it was a racist country. Also indigenous Australians are over represented in custody because they are over represented in transgressing the law, to imply there is some sort of vendetta against them is total garbage.
That reasoning would seem fine if Aboriginals were a migrant or a white Australian living a white dominated society and if they had no heavy baggage hanging over their heads, like their ancestors being slaughtered by white people and children stolen from their families. Living in the place of your ancestors but is now dominated by the culture of your invaders where you feel more like a foreigner. A place where everyday you are discriminated and while in incarceration subject to abuse.
The Cronulla riots would disagree with you there. So would the aboriginal "yes" campaign.
I have a male relative who is a musician, that travels around the world. I remember him telling me about a time he experienced racism while visiting Australia.
And the other side of the story?
How to tell a video about Australia might not be 100% accurate: Mentions "Dangerous Animals" and not once comments on the murderous swooping chickens. 😂
Or the monstrous Dropbears from around Bundaberg. 😅
Murderous swooping magpies!
Heath Care Is not true ? What Place do you live in.
Compare an Australian public hospital and an American. Any citizen or resident can walk into any publicl hospital and get treatment, whatever it takes for their condition. And walk out cured or have an out-patients program at NO COST!, Try that in the USA. If a patient presents with symptoms that suggest stroke or cardiac problems there are straight onto the 'magic carpet' to immediate and superb care. Larger hospitals have 24 hour imaging (CT, MRI, Xray) and pathology...surgery too if necessary.
Also Australia does have a public-private composite system. Most private hospitals are good, but not a patch on the major 'tertiary referral' hospitals where there are on-tap senior consultants. Patients in Local or Community hospitals who need urgent care are provided aero-medical transfers AT NO COST to the relevant TRH. There is a permanent aero-medical transfer centre that coordinate this. Try that in the USA!

I have lived here in Australia for 40years now and not once have I felt the need to take out private insurance. as of 2024 the average wage is $73,800 (38,000 pounds) Travel in Victoria (nearly the size of the UK) is now capped at $9.20 (full fare) or $4.60 (concession) per weekday. This is the maximum daily cost of travelling anywhere in Victoria. No matter your destination. (thats 4 pounds 75p) Can you travel from John O'Groats to Landsend for this price? NO!!! the cheapest is 360pounds, I would pay just $9.20 for the same trip, less than 5 pounds.
I was born in Australia, as a child and teenager I was often called names and told to go back to my country , hell, I friggen live here, I got over it , and so should everyone
Happens in usa, uk, Australia. Canada
Aaah I had faced racism and supposedly I won so others should also face racism. Great logic.
@@cooper7031 and anywhere else in the world. Try to be foreigners in Asia or Europe. Besides, cost of living is on the rise literally everywhere. Australia is indeed a great country.
I had the same experience. Racism everywhere, particularly in employment. It still continues. Don't believe half of the bullshit you get on here.
I’m an Aussie married to a Singaporean. Never once has my wife experienced any form of racism in Australia. On the other hand as a couple traveling around south east Asia we have had many filthy comments thrown at us.
yep it was a good country to live. it's just that since the last six months, EVERYTHING HAS GONE UP IN PRICE from 100 % to 200%
The smartest thing that should be on everyone's mind right now should be to invest in different streams of income that are not dependent on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver, and digital currencies (BTC ETH...).
Same here all thanks to Mrs Charlotte Junko Walsh , she has always been there to guide me through with det@ils an@lysis and recommendations that I wouldn't have access to otherwise.
That woman has changed my life for good. I attended her lnvestment class couple of weeks and she's the best when it comes for guidance.
Low income people are suffering to survive, I appreciate her she's a great personality in the state, Imagine receiving $13,670 in few days
Since meeting her, I now agree that with an expert managing your portfolio, the rate of profit high, with less risk.
This is not the first time I am hearing about Charlotte Walsh and her exploits in the trading world but I have no idea on how to reach her
i used to like travel in there, but sometimes there is no heat water to bath, that upset me the most.
I don't intend to visit Austrália anytime in my life. It's very far from where I live and I don't like meeting racist people. It's not worthy the trip.

Before completing his sentence, he married the daughter of a free settler and worked on farms busting his arse from sunrise to dusk - AS, INDEED, IT WAS THE CASE WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER PERSON, EITHER FREE OR IN SERVITUDE. His granddaughter informed us that her grandfather worked at least 50 hours a week to make ends meet.
As for the (extended) paternal side of my family, they came from Scotland over a 15-month period from the end of 1921. Nearly all of the menfolk were dispatched to the Lithgow area to work in the coal mines. All up, between 1922, and 1964, 17 members of the Meek clan toiled under atrocious conditions, with low wages in those dreadful coal mines. As it transpires, not ONE of those 17 men lived past 61 - the average age of death for them was 57 years of age - from Black Lung type diseases.
With regards to my dad, his father walked out on my nana when she was 7 months pregnant - dad was born in May 1924. My nan worked six days a week as a seamstress in a couple of factories around Sydney. Luckily, her family, the Meeks, allowed her and dad to lodge at their abodes. Dad told me that they were so poor that - as, indeed, it was for majority of people in Australia, too - he never had more than three changes of clothes, and only one pair of shoes, and also a pair of sandals from the time he went to school at five years of age, until he got a job working 8 hours a day on Saturdays in a cotton mill at the age of 12, to earn a few bob.
The point of telling you this, you low-life dog doing the commentary is that Australia - as it also is for NZ, the US, and Canada - became the great societies they did as a DIRECT RESULT of people who arrive from here, there and everywhere and worked their ARSES OFF to build those societies. Alas, we have maggot scum like this piece of guilt-ridden and self-hating piece of white crap castigating my ilk as being virulent racists, who invaded the land and dispossessed the indigenous people.
However, it’s an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that you would be an advocate of open-borders in western lands to permit all and sundry arriving: in order to eradicate those horrible evil white folks. Furthermore, you dog, it’s also an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that, you would have never condemned the insane Islamic fundamentalists, who callously slaughter 530 innocent people in Britain and Europe from April 2004, in the Atocha bombings - and in London in July 2005, and all the way through to Sir David Amess in July 2021: all in the name of Allah.
Similarly, you’d say nothing about the rampant/out of control gang wars occurring in Britain (overwhelmingly) between those of black African heritage.
With respect to Australia and the IMMENSE damage that non-Anglo/European immigrants have brought to bear upon Australia irrefutably prevails with drug gangs. For instance, the scourge of heroin comes as a direct result of Vietnamese drug gangs importing and distributing it here in Oz. Similarly, the cocaine, and ice and other amphetamines/synthetic substances that have destroyed society are ALL the DIRECT RESULT of Middle Eastern and Chinese drug cartels.
So, if it’s all good and proper that Anglo/Celtic and blonde Europeans have to lay down and beg forgiveness for the sins of our forebears then, why pray tell, shouldn’t the Vietnamese, Chinese, and those from the Middle East, seek forgiveness for the sins of their kin? And, don’t ever forget that, the overwhelming cause of the enormous sociological upheavals encumbering the country over the past 40 years can be all traced back to drugs.
What I would really love to see happen to you conducting this shit-canning of Australia, is for you to meet the same fate, at the hands of Islamic fundamentalists, as did Drummer Rigby, in 2013. Whilst that extremely unlikely to occur the next best thing I wish would happen to you is to become severly incapacitated from an accident!!!
You stay at home in your safe cocoon Australia is far too dangerous for you.
As the population increased Australians went through a great honeymoon stage in the 80,90, and 2000s. But as the relationship faded and the reality of overcrowding, loss of lifestyle, expensive cost of living, financial inequality, homelessness and unaffordable housing, etc the relationship for many Australians has soured. We have governments that think big is better and a population that thinks smaller is best. Yes we are by inlarge, racist background, even the millions of immigrants are racist against each other. But all this is not only an Australian thing, it is the same in most countries throughout the world.
I think Australia is better than almost all of Europe. Racism exists in every other country so it's not a debatable topic.
@@lokeshkumar-dq7ylThats a DAMN LIE!....i know thru personal experience that the countries of FantasyLand, Wonderfulstein, and Incredibistabul...have NO RACISM!....none atall!!!😵
It's 'by and large', not 'by inlarge'. Means, 'in general terms'.
There's no more overcrowding in Australia, it's rapidly dying out now...😢😢😢

Wow is this a video to slate Australia and purposely put anyone off from visiting let alone living there?! Can’t believe how negative everything was about it.
I visited Australia for 3 months back in the early nineties and all I can say is how wonderful and welcoming everyone was. We started in Perth and made our way across to the east. Each city seemed dated back then but charming and had so much to offer. It’s a majorly diverse country with so many cultures. The cuisine was incredible. I loved the coffee shops especially. Anyhew, this video made me angry even though I haven’t been back to Auzzie I certainly would despite this awful and misleading video. Please don’t be put off if you’re thinking of going there. Yes it’s a long way but so worth it!
As a 6th generation Australian I think the video is mostly very accurate.
i did cross australia south > north...exept alice springs ( lucky i was ; the endemics aborigenous were meeting for a sort of art canvas festival).. Well hat trip was the worst i ve had onto this planet..i had the true impression to be in the novel 0rwell 1984... i hope that the australian population will escape that trap > coming and struggling them inexorably...
8:45 Which countries are you talking about that don’t offer Private Health Insurance? And if you’re on a low income in Australia you don’t need to pay for PHI. So what does other countries lack of Insurance have to do with Australia. We have MEDICARE, it takes care of every citizen, regardless of whether you pay for Private Insurance or not. This video is complete MISINFORMATION.
Wright on mate , these people what say this crap would not any clue. cheers Bud
Try getting a referral to a private specialist. They are shit scared of Insurers and won't accept money! Choice? Get stuffed!!!
and politicians like to be seen to do things but in the end its just job and perks preservation,
just look at the voice voting its consumed the leadership since announced
Government policy and practices have directly contributed to the high cost of living, housing, medical care and pathetic internet. There seems to be very little political interest in fixing anything as many politicians directly benefit from the current system.
Australia does have excellent public health services although the gov is doing its best to tank that system too.
Don't worry about the wild animals, you rarely if ever see them in the cities.

Racism in Australia is complicated. Generally Australia is an open country and not as "racist" as suggested.
Nope. Canada is better🇨🇦
The Cronulla riots would disagree with you there. So would the aboriginal "yes" campaign.
🤔im an Australian my background is pacific islander and ive been here for almost 50 years, ive never witnessed racism except from my own race. Some of this is far fetched. I make lots of friends from different ethnicities. Animals dangerous really, not even true.
I love ❤️ Australia 🇦🇺. I’m still loyal to Australia 🇦🇺 Sydney 🎉 that’s why Left the United States 🇺🇸. I preferred Australia still the best country
I've been to over 50 countries and lived and worked in many. Most are preferable to the US. Australia used to be by far the best country to live in up until the 80s. Now as an Australian male it's become much worse. 20 years ago I voted with my feet in favour of personal freedom, no wokism, no rabid feminism, no LBGTQ or Climate Change nutters, and went to live in Vietnam. I'm so glad I did.

THE ONE PROBLEM IN AUSTRALIA IS ALBO. AND THE LABOR PARTY. !!!
Im australian and its good in many ways but people are a bit backward and its true making good friends after education age can be hard unless you are into sport.
People can be too critical of each other
Australian education system used to be good now its in decline and going to crap you have to go to a private school to get educated or escape the wokism political correctness and genderism which has hijacked in public schools.
Away from racism and feminism that the government turn the blind eye on, you are safe to go.
I agree Australia does have a dark side. The idea that everyone’s goal should be to own a house and block of land is something from a bygone era. Suburbia is like being buried alive here unless you have a large family and a car. Not everyone wants or has a large family and a car. The only real liveable places in Australia are on the coast or cooler areas of Australia like the mountains and places with cooler temperatures. It is just too hot depending on where you live. People here tend to live in ghettos based on nationality and income stream which cause polarisation and racist attitudes. People become locked into their own circle for protective reasons. Also not every State is the same. Laws will vary from each state to the other as well cultural values. Places like Darwin have a completely different cultural mix than say Victoria or Melbourne or Sydney. Certain groups get on better with each other than others and you have post code wars. If you come here as a visitor or to live, best be flexible and find a group that shares your views and interests because not everyone wants to be your friend. Currently things are changing rapidly due to political issues and problems around the world.
All the crazies live in Victoria its the mad state.

Been in Australia for Alamos half of my life . Racism comes from non Aussies usually. Mainly from Indians. Not to mention the cost of living , housing crisis and no jobs.
I was in Melbourne a while back. It was extremely racist back then.
A few valid points but a great deal of crap too. Ive lived here 54 years coming here as a boy from England. I wouldnt live anywhere else. The comment about racism is also overstated. We are a mulicultural nation and welcome people here, believing in a fair go for all. As for dangerous wildlife a person just has to be careful of their surroundings. Cost of living is high like many other countries at this point in time.
Yes, well anywhere is better than England. Go to Vietnam if you really want a good place to live.
We were welcoming ! sadly a bit too welcoming! as some recent arrivals want to turn Australia into the same shit holes they left to have a better life here!
we are all brothrrs and sisters
This is hopelessly out of date , the internet has been upgraded to a broadband system that is fast and reliable, Racism is not as bad its portrayed in this video, I have in the past made a lot new friends that had only arrived in the country, the aboriginals have always had a problem with authority in this country, and they are treated as the First Nation people in Australia, every suburb in Australia has now included the Aboriginal name , and all meets Acknowledge the first nation people who live there, while there a lot of things in Australia that need more care taken, Australia has grown because people love living here and our imagination has been so high our government is planing to cut back , because unemployment has grown because of the massive immigration to this country.
We've been here 50 years and never found anything particularly difficult. It's called the lucky country because the harder you work, the luckier you get.
Not so much these days the luck might be running out!
Who ever made this I’d say they don’t live in Australia and I disagree Australia is not a racist country and if you live in the city yes it can be hard to make friends but you have to try a little bit hard but if you live in a country town that can be a little bit easier to make friends and one other thing People have been coming to live in Australia for a long time and don’t believe everything you hear on this
