      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.

      I’m from Ukraine, living in USA for 15 years, currently in Australia as tourist. Australia is much better than USA, cheaper, cleaner, safer, you guys live in paradise and still complain all the time. Move to other country and try to live there, then you can say what walk in the park and what is everyday nightmare.

      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!!!

      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.

    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.

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.

      (*** A.S. If what you believe is correct than why is that people in the Third World knock themselves over to get here - AS INDEED, they do for the US, NZ, Britain and Canada. The answer to that is because the Third World is a collectice sewer. *** )
      **********************************************
      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!!!

      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!

Mynahs bird, rabbit, cane toads ecta, ecta. Then there was the treatmentof the indigenouspeopleand of course how we gave independence to PNG and Nauru fsr, far too early.

    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.

    Healthcare: basically the healthcare is FREE. Private insurance is purely an OPTION. When comparing with the “hell”ish kinda of healthcare system in USA - Australian healthcare system is actually a heaven. I suggest people should stop making such VDOs which are way far from reality.

      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!!!

    Things not mentioned as to why to leave Australia or not move to Australia......
    1. The massive increase in taxes. Taxes are becoming higher and higher
    2. Employers are not paying a fair or decent income so why there are many jobs yet so few places open
    3. The extreme high prices. Food in the last few months has increased between 40-100%. Same with fuel, electricity and property etc.
    4. The loss of freedom. More and more ways of being spied upon. As with how in Canada the govt gave banks permission to close the truckers bank accounts, the same now applies in Australia. Banks can look you up on Social Media and if they don't like your posts, they can refuse to open an account or simply close your account
    5. Woke culture is starting to become more and more prevalent just like in the US, and together with the excessiveness of the LGBT+ advertising, being straight here goes against you. A guy at work told me for me to get a promotion, i either had to....in order.......
    a. be trans or gay
    b. be Indian
    c. be an Aboriginal
    d. white, middle age straight male.....which is where i fit so i have no chance of being promoted
    6. Travel any train line in Sydney, do your averages and you'll find Sydney is 30% Chinese....not asian, yet Chinese. This is not multi-ethnicity or multi-culturalism...it is...take over. And now with the number of Indians coming into the country, it really has become, try and find the white person. Not racist, just have a look and observe.
    7. Our govt is that stupid that South Australia wants to get rid of Christmas Day and Australia Day just to pamper to the few who don't feel they belong
    8. Home delivery drivers will deliver to your door yet put down on the ground and just let it sit there as do they in their home country, cos they come from 3rd world countries
    9. Gone are the days of....when in Rome, do as the Romans do
    10. Basic respect and social etiquette no longer exists as most ppl post Covid are self absorbed and become narcissistic.

      Thank you for your post. It is an eye-opener. I get most of what you are saying. It is not very different to what is happening here in the UK (where I am). The one bit that wasn't clear is why Indians are getting promoted in Australia? One can understand Aboriginals getting promoted for example, because they were the original inhabitants of the land, and so political correctness now requires they be favoured. But why Indians? And why not the Chinese for instance? Has the Indian Government got some sort of hold over the Australian Government?

      I'm from Poland, have masters degree in economics, I'm not some dummy and can be hard-working (if treated fairly lol, here you can be used by managers who are complete ignorants). I would love to come to Australia to live.
      I had convos with many polish people who would love to come to AUS, many are highly educated, ran business, english is completely known to them.
      We respect local customs, because we actually like Anglo-Saxon culture, like I said english is of course a requirement with educated people here, we don't like woke leftist bullshit, appreciate conservative values, and totally like and appreciate customs of local country we move to. And English culture is not some culture like many others, it's a culture of the empire that dominated the world, and proved to be one of the top tier!
      So the bottomline, many ppl from Poland for ex. (and probably other poorer white european countries) would love to get an easier chance at living in AUS and not be a nuisance and respect the country, and try to built it with fellow australians. I for ex. would not want to live in some ghetto isolated only by ppl of my own ethnicty, but be a complete australian, no matter the social status. Of course opening borders wide open wouldn't be wise, because you will get scums, bandits who can't even speak english. But for the good educated people who wish not to cause any trouble it's still really hard to get to AUS, and also extremely expensive for someone from Poland.

    I notice all the positive experiences in the comments are from Caucasians. I'm immigrating here soon and as a brown Muslim, i really shouldn't be watching this video.

    How is flooding a country with the biggest mass migration program on earth respecting the long time locals? Why wouldn’t that cause tensions and resentment? Why should Australians have to “just accept” this with a smile and endless hospitality?

    Why add to their economy with tourism / intelligent workforce if they're deeply interwoven with racism? It will collapse eventually. It's not worth it. Have self value and genuine respect for others.

    They just need to stop referring to themselves as the “lucky country”. Anyone living there knows the real truth.

      They guy who wrote that and coined that " lucky country" phrase was being sarcastic!
      He said it was "lucky" to survive and being run by second rate stupid politicians, he was correct.
