Okay, but that doesn't change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,480 inhabitants, so if kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.
As a Kiwi I've always referred to Australia as the USA to our Canada. They are unbelievably powerful and honestly I think we're just happy to get along with them, for the most part.
Hey brother or sister, an aussie here, yeah our countries are pretty tight, and we (as the person a bit above me said) are very happy to be friends with you kiwis!
YEAH, 🤣surprised you can't hear them laughing their heads off at such a stupid headline. Anyone who has spent any time in our Military, KNOWS the joke this stament is, and the joke is on all Australians who believe it.
Australia has a massive case of imposter syndrome, due to its penal colony history and it's wealth now being pretty much entirely generated from digging holes in the ground, as explained in the video
@@Aussieboy329 we are a country of 25 million, in a land mass the size of the Continental United States which has a population of 320million in same space. Yes we are mineral rich, but that is often a curse than a blessing, when look at pretty much any country with resource boon. But yet we thrive, we strive to be the best we can be in all things. Our economy is robust, yea we get a lot from resource industries, but not beholden to it. We kick ass in sports at world level. Most of us look good in speedos 😛, and besides some hiccups we seems to have acquitted ourself well diplomatically and militarily. We punch well above our weight
As a rural Australian living in semi-desert land, I appreciate you for mentioning us and our land, we never get any mentions, it’s only the cities, but the people here are lovely and hard-working, the land is absolutely stunning, the animals are fascinating, the freedom is impeccable etc. I would hate to live in the city.
i appreciate you guys so much i live in melbourne so it's definitely noisier, but travelling up to places in rural victoria like echuca and stuff just humbles me can't even imagine the semi-desert and desert lands, so respect
Can we seriously put an end to the country/bush-v-city divide? It's a little boring. City people appreciate rural areas. We appreciate how important it is to have food security and agriculture. Fun fact for you though, just saying: agriculture contributes 3% of our GDP. Industry contributes 25%. But services, including financial services, contribute 65% of our GDP. And almost ALL activity in the financial services is in the cities. Your welcome! Also, you don't mind if we dig another big hole out over there somewhere do you? Thanks, we really appreciate it!!!
@Whack A … I was talking about how much I love where I live and everything it entails, I wasn’t making a thorough essay of the pros and cons of “rural vs city dwelling”, I would prefer to live rural, that doesn’t automatically mean I have some obscure competitive hatred for the city, I KNOW very well the benefits of the city, and the cons of living rural, it’s simply personal preference. You don’t need to write an economical spreadsheet on the superiority of cities and the shittiness of rural areas. It’s a personal opinion, not a competition. Chill out.
australia is basically just if someone took a European power, gave them a continent that’s mostly desert, and slapped them off the coast from indonesia
Important think to note about Australia is while much of the country can be mostly dry at times on the surface, it also has the worlds largest aquapher called the Great Artesian basin, it covers 1.7 million square kilometers, the state of NSW alone has over 5000 million mega litres in aquaphers, even the city of Sydney has an 141 square Km aquifer under it. Australia tends not to use its underground water to the same extent other countries, but it is nice to know it's available if needed.
thing is, while we under-use our bore resources and whatnot but we cant fall in the trap of west USA which have basically used their entire aquifer on farming in sub-desert climates and is facing a massive watershortage.
@Peepee Train if we can work around not using the aquapher, we shouldn't, think of it as a water bank, only to be used when it is absolutely necessary...
Not to mention we also don't have large desalination plants in use. Nations States like Israel for instance which have very little arable land and water basins have relied on desalination for water security, Australia has a few desalination plants but very few for the size of its population, if we did decide to use them as well as pipeline desalinated water across the country, it would very easily solve our water problem, we would never run out of water. In addition, we could manufacture man-made dams and catchments like other countries have, as when we do have big rain periods we could harvest enough water to survive through the dry periods. As for power, same thing on one side you have the "we can't use coal" and on the other you have the "we can't use renewables" camps. What we could do is use nuclear energy but it's currently banned and considering Australia has very strict standards for storage of nuclear material and plenty of inarable land to stick it in, it's really a no brainer for energy, we also have high reserves of uranium to us, but again the environmentalists will be up in arms. The problem we have really as a country is poor leadership and we're too focused on mining rather than creating infrastructure or cities. All the infrastructure we create is usually toll roads and highways or stadiums for cities, not pipelines or dams for catchments in rural areas. Or we create massive suburbs on the fringes of the cities and just have massive city expansion or urban sprawl. Our manufacturing is all pretty much gone too, car companies like Ford, Holden, Toyota all gone and moved their manufacturing overseas. Steel plants used to be big industry here but wages, electricity prices and other regulations made it expensive to produce steel here, so expensive that companies just ship the iron to another country from Australia and make it there. Power is getting more expensive for environmental concerns/reasons making industry just more expensive in general compared to other countries where electricity is far cheaper. Anything we do create now also has big budget blow outs or never meet deadlines like the Snow Hydro 2.0 or Melbourne's highway systems. We're just not a serious country anymore. We had a golden age between 1980-2008.
Aussie here, we may not be in a "recession" as such but we're bloody well heading towards one. Our inflation went up the wazoo a few months ago, shit's bad. Also we did used to have a massive manufacturing industry but it's all gone now and we mostly just sell food and raw minerals
But we had a recession during the lockdowns in 2020. True, now we have record low unemployment, but that is partly because lockdowns made many older folk realise that retirement wasn't so bad...
As an Aussie our current main concerns are housing (which is further exasperated by foreign and local investors), water security as you said, rising inflation and interest (making houses even more expensive) and debt. Last few administrations sucked up insane amounts of debt.
Housing is going to be tight for another 4-5 years. Huge immigration doesn’t help, especially for rental properties. Investors need to build more rentals (short and long term) as well. It’s less appealing for someone to lay down $$$$ for an uncertain future with successive governments changing tax laws on each other though. And for owner occupiers, it takes 1.5 years to build, and prices can’t be locked in due to inflation and scarcity of tradies. Plus the cost of land and build is likely to be higher than the banks valuation of the property. Such are the times we are living in. Zoning by local councils has a lot to answer for too. Careful to blame investors though.
@@yesiasked I didn’t say no immigration. I said the 4 years supply in 1 year when Australia was already 1-2 years behind building supply of houses makes houses more expensive to rent and buy
The reason we don't make steal is that our wages are too high and our currency too valuable to make it competitive in international markets. We used to have a large steel industry before we got rich, particularly in the city of Newcastle. But as wages went up we ended up just selling iron to China and buying back their steel. Hope this was helpful :)
No the reason we don’t manufacture steel here is because the bloody Kennett and Howard Governments sold off all our assets overseas and stopped us being self sufficient

To be honest Perth's isolation turned it into one of the nicest Australian Cities. There's a reason everyone in Adelaide has a moderate to high hatred of the east coast but not the west coast.
In a few short simple steps I have a proposal that will close the divide between east and west Australia Firstly, that we rename and merge WA,SA and the NT into a mega state and just call it the desert. Maybe they can figure out a better name but clearly they haven't in over 100 years. Reissue the police with mad max style uniforms and vehicles. Next all Australian children are to be sent away to grow up in the desert unsupervised, those that survive to 18 can return to the east.
Our first challenge is having enough people to work in specific industries. We have a worker shortage across all industries. Secondly we have almost no housing available, housing costs are unaffordable for someone working in retail or hospitality.
@@sirwahthemonke no way in hell are you assuming that a fucking Z means he supports Russia? Please don't tell me that's what you're doing here, God please no
Negative gearing isn't about the value of a property, it allows you to treat an investment property like a business and deduct expenses (mostly mortgage interest) against your taxable personal income. Negative gearing is where the expenses of the investment property are greater than the income so you pay net lower tax. You can't do it for your residence though. You can also make your investment property part of your low-tax retirement fund. The right loves it because it enriches their base and supposedly increases housing supply, the left dislikes it because it is an expensive subsidy for investors and supposedly drives house price inflation. There's 15m taxpayers of which 2m have rental properties and 1m have negative gearing. Of the 1m, 9 in 10 have one investment property, the other 10% 2 or more. Those numbers, despite being a small minority of overall electors (16.4m), mean it is hard to campaign against the system because it immediately alienates 1 million voters, mostly right voters, but enough independent and left voters to make a difference. Labor lost an election in 2019 where it campaigned against this system but won this year's election after it dropped that policy. Although it was only one issue among many, of course.
Australia has it in spades in primary industries (mining + agriculture) and tertiary industries (services). Apart from water, it's Achilles' heel is secondary industries (manufacturing). Human capital is too expensive here due to strong labour laws and high minimum wage (can't exploit workers like you can in underdeveloped countries). Hence, it's cheaper to export the raw material overseas, process them into usable commodities, and import them back. If Australia wants to be self-sufficient, they need to build up its secondary industries (local manufacturing).
Which is only possible by establishing high levels of automation from the start. If we had cheaper energy and solved our water supply issues with more advanced desalination technology, we could make a ridiculous amount of money.
@@namanish450 i feel like the fact that most of the country by area is desert and semidesert you could just go with 100% solar based desalination and turn the brine into salt. Basically use concentrated solar to generate electricity and use that to power desalination plants and dump the brine is classic evaporation basins uses to harvest salt since the dawn of time. And with a large enough resevoir it should be reasonable to only run the desalination plants durring the day while the sun is shining. (I have a theory about making an "open cycle" con solar desalination plant but am unsure of its economic feasibility)
The big corporations just want more profit australia made many things in the 1960s 1970s but australian government signed the Lima declaration in 1973 ensuring are manufacturing got relocated to china and elsewhere in the third world
Fun fact about Australian housing. If you put a solar panel on your home you energy bill would be reduced and if you have enough solar panels the power plant will start paying you for power so have fun with that fact.
"Fun fact about Australian housing. If you put a solar panel on your home you energy bill would be reduced and if you have enough solar panels the power plant will start paying you for power so have fun with that fact." You guys believe the wildest stuff Sure they do that but when you need energy they charge heaps When you supply it they give you bugger all Peak hour prices We are being led into price gouging nonsense
Our cattle station is entirely powered by solar panels with lithium battery banks, can go multiple days without sunlight before the backup generator kicks in, even the remote water mills are solar powered pumps. The work vehicles are the only thing burning fuel now.
When it's more expensive for properties to run power lines than put in solar, the logical decision is solar. However, the way our energy economics are being destroyed, that economic decision, to put solar into your remote property, will prove even more beneficial, in the coming few years.
@@savagegfry problem with solar is they break down very quickly due to converting solar into heat then into power which degrades the hell out of components and the hotter s place gets the more the battery is more likely to swell or explode great for a time but not sustainable financially or resource wise
That won't stop government closing you down. According to the dill pickles at the WEF/UN all of those cattle burping and farting are destroying the planet don't you know. Farmers in the Netherlands tried to go green and use the best sustainable farming practices and latest technology too. All that led to was the government wanting to close 3000 + of their farms down. So all of your good work will go unrewarded once the government comes to close down your cattle station. Same thing is happening in NZ with their dairy industry.

Fun fact: the Brits tried and failed set up a penal colony in the Cape Colony in South Africa in 1849. When the colony's government found out, they tried to ask the Westminister parliament to cancel the policy, but by then it was too late - a ship full of convicts - mostly Irish women and children - were already on its way. Along the way, the ship also picked up petty convicts who had previously been sent to Barbados. By the time the ship arrived in Table Bay in Cape Town, the mayor organized a riot to prevent the convicts from being offloaded. The riot lasted for a hundred days and the convicts who were forced to remain on board the ship suffered because of the siege. Eventually, the Governor Sir Harry Smith was able to convince the Secretary for the Colonies Henry Gray the 3rd to send the ship off to Van Diemen's Land instead.

You should note I also used the term 'Cape Colony' - rather than 'Western Cape'.

Rather, it is more accurate to say "In 1619, some of the first African slaves landed in Jameston in the Virginia Colony (which was later incorporated in the USA)".

In regards to call centres and whatnot some companies close their phone lines at 7 or 8pm to specifically cater for WA but probably an equal amount don't. Personally, I feel like WA would be better off having some of their financial services done in Perth instead of the East Coast. Like the big banks, insurance companies and superannuation companies should set up offices in Perth specifically for people in WA. If WA ever does want to succeed from the rest of Australia(being a bunch of rich bogans) then you would probably want to starting running your own financial services institutes rather than finding yourself cut off financially.

@Yoda on Fire Are you saying that for the memes? h0ser's theory on us losing our water for food exports is *absolutely absurd!* We have groundwater here!
As an Aussie, I can say I never heard anyone say Dollarydoos. Also as far as economic history goes we didn't simply start digging, after the gold rush Australia was built on the sheeps back until recent history when mining took over. Negative gearing is more a way to treat an investment property as a business and claim the cost of a loss against any revenue you may receive. And water, although sparse in some areas, is abundant in the top end, we just need a way to capture and transfer it to the areas that need it. Apart from that pretty entertaining.
Well there is water down south the government just fucked up dirt and plant laws so the water pools up (and floods) or soaks into the ground/gets wasted

The water situation isn't actually that bad. As a farmer myself it forces growers to become ultra efficient or go out of business. Even in dry times there can be enough. Probably could do with less water intensive crops like almonds but hey if that's what city consumers want and will pay for, we can grow it.
I'm glad that our cattle station in the Kimberely sits ontop of a massive underground basin. More water than we could ever need 25m below our feet. We only do cattle though so don't need much but apparently we could change to irrigation across the whole station and our neighbours and still have enough.
the water situation is man made in the Murray Darling, due to atrocious water management and illegal trading in which the government (especially some LNP ministers) know or do nothing to stop it. Multi national and million dollar companies are harvesting water and restricting water flow from the upper basin to the lower basin and essentially created a market where farmers downstream has to buy water from them during drought. This has severely impacted every community downstream, and the poorest towns, like Wilcannia, have seen a skyrocket in socioeconomic crime and poverty as water is extremeley limited during drought. Also why are we farming water hungry crops in an arid climate? TLDR, the murray darling basin water crisis in manmade, big companies restrict water flow to make a profit in the water market, and some politicians have stakes in it and let it slide.

Just leads to a lot of regions downstream, especially southern nsw, in a constant state of drought or flood, no in between
Conservative governments especially Federal were responsible for the bidding on water etc.Thankfully voted out recently.Did untold damage in other areas.

Don't even get me started on the spiders, snakes and the fricking Godzilla-sized crocs. Yeah, i think we're gonna take over the world lol. I don't mean to start a world-domination war tho
Australia is like the dirty version of the US. He’s the one who would come home dirty to his home and he’s the younger son of the UK. He’s the younger brother of the US. He gets treated better than his older brother. He would ride on emus in the desert, hunt emus, play the dingeredoo, eat vegimite on bread, and drink a can of Fosters next to his barbie. He’s a huge fan of Wolfmother, and Jet. His younger brother New Zealand, lives next door since New Zealand relies on his older brother. He plays cricket on Fridays and sundays with India. He would go out to explore like Indiana jones. He’s not as educated or powerful as the US, but still powerful. Tell me what Australia is like in your opinions. Pls don’t be offended. I did these comparisons to other videos
Australia in my opinion is the greatest country in the world, there may be competition among a few countries in Europe. I live here but I am not patriot and don't celebrate Australia or its terrible history.
As an Aussie I have to say I really enjoyed that video. The one thing I hope for us is we move quickly towards renewable energy like solar. We have the ability to become one of the most energy efficient countries in the world, while still making bank that "should" fund our own clean energy, from exporting the dirty stuff to countries that really don't care about changing their ways. Ah yes, good ol' Capitalism. Australians and Americans should all be proud. 👍
Mate, do some research and come back when you realise that renewables won't provide enough reliable power for the country. Climate change is a factor but it shouldn't be THE factor that determines power production.
African child slaves digging for cobalt for batteries, California and European countries telling their citizens to turn down the heater because the renewables are not keeping up. Including not charging the electric cars. Government has too much say and a free market would fill the gap when it was affordable and needed. No but they push. Remember in all mankind’s history when the people have expendable money they have the free time and expenses to put towards things like climate change. But “they” are pushing this scam now when the world is on the brink of recession. You will have no money and they tell you to spend it on your carbon footprint. While they wear suits and jet around the world. Climate lockdown is here already. Good luck.
@@ricbarker4829 pretty sure the sun is pretty reliable.. especially in outback Aus. Also have you ever heard of the roaring forties? Just under Australia there is unlimited wind.
@@nicktubby9710 Yes, but the renewables aren't. Do some reading on solar panels and understand that they lose efficiency as they get hotter and it gets pretty hot in the Australian outback, it's not hard to see air temperatures of 45 degrees in the outback and object temperatures can exceed 60 degrees in the outback where a solar panel loses about 15% of its total power efficiency. Broken solar panels can leech toxic chemicals into the soil/ground beneath them which is up to 300x worse than nuclear waste. Also solar power require battery storage as the Sun doesn't shine all day and power tends to become more demanded at night time, well lithium batteries are probably the absolute worst thing to the environment you could ever create, they also tend to create horrible fires that can't easily be extinguished, this happened recently in Queensland to a Tesla Battery facility which took days to put out and released toxic smoke when it burned. Then those batteries have a certain life cycle, disposing of lithium batteries is incredibly expensive and also harms the environment. You can go on and on about the horrible environmental effects of renewables, same thing with wind power or hydro power etc. Wind farms leeches oil into the surrounding environment and also kills tonnes of birds. Geothermal, same thing, you can pollute the water table, pretty sure we don't want to become the next Flint, Michigan. People only focus on the gas emissions part of power like coal power, thinking very rarely about the liquid or solid emissions other types of power have as environmental concerns. I'd say use hydrogen as a power source, but it's too dangerous to store and use, manufacturing is also not super friendly to the environment. There is no perfect version of power other than maybe Nuclear Fusion but that's never going to happen in our lifetime in a wide ranging way for power production. Better to use all the fossil fuel energy we have to enhance our quality of life and knowledge now and work on solutions in the meantime to meet rising demand and keep prices low. Climate change is not nearly as bad as the "officials" make out it is.

Your prediction of coal no longer being a power source is actually super accurate, there's also Singapore looking to build a pipeline for electricity from Australia and laws are pushing for renewable energy sources which are likely going to rely on wind or solar farms.
@@JohnSmith-sj2dk I meant specifically in Australia, you're right, demand is definitely high and our exports are likely to increase. But, Aussie regulations are pushing for renewable energy sources which I should have specified.
In terms of transitioning away from coal, we’re currently building a massive solar farm that will provide up to 15% of Singapores energy needs. We have the space to produce enough solar energy to power the entire planet so I expect to see many more of these projects in the future. Taking Australia from a country that exports the materials to produce electricity to exporting the power itself.
buuuuut the farm is owned by overseas investors, what we really need is government/Australian owned business to operate the farms, this will keep more of the profits inside of Australia
@@tonycurrie2964 I’m not sure you understand how solar panels work… the project I was referring to will produce 3.2GW of dispatchable electricity. That’s enough energy to boil 40,000 litre jugs of water.

They actually came extremely close in 2020 to having another recession in Australia due to the pandemic but it somehow didn’t happen even though the government thought it would most likely happen at the time!
Government gave everyone money. Kept ppl in their homes largely and kept them employed (largely), but the consequence of shutting down the economy and pumping money to everyone is inflation and an economy that needs time to correct itself
Honestly if things are going to go that way, I'm glad that a good chunk of the nations coming up in the world are functional democracies. Sure, Russia and China are scary but India, Brazil, Australia and the like, we could do worse as a species.

Important think to note about Australia is while much of the country can be mostly dry at times on the surface, it also has the worlds largest aquapher called the Great Artesian basin, it covers 1.7 million square kilometers, the state of NSW alone has over 5000 million mega litres in aquaphers, even the city of Sydney has an 141 square Km aquifer under it. Australia tends not to use its underground water to the same extent other countries, but it is nice to know it's available if needed.
thing is, while we under-use our bore resources and whatnot but we cant fall in the trap of west USA which have basically used their entire aquifer on farming in sub-desert climates and is facing a massive watershortage.
@Peepee Train if we can work around not using the aquapher, we shouldn't, think of it as a water bank, only to be used when it is absolutely necessary...
@@peepeetrain8755 yeah and aquifers take a longggg time to replenish too
Not to mention we also don't have large desalination plants in use. Nations States like Israel for instance which have very little arable land and water basins have relied on desalination for water security, Australia has a few desalination plants but very few for the size of its population, if we did decide to use them as well as pipeline desalinated water across the country, it would very easily solve our water problem, we would never run out of water. In addition, we could manufacture man-made dams and catchments like other countries have, as when we do have big rain periods we could harvest enough water to survive through the dry periods. As for power, same thing on one side you have the "we can't use coal" and on the other you have the "we can't use renewables" camps. What we could do is use nuclear energy but it's currently banned and considering Australia has very strict standards for storage of nuclear material and plenty of inarable land to stick it in, it's really a no brainer for energy, we also have high reserves of uranium to us, but again the environmentalists will be up in arms.
The problem we have really as a country is poor leadership and we're too focused on mining rather than creating infrastructure or cities. All the infrastructure we create is usually toll roads and highways or stadiums for cities, not pipelines or dams for catchments in rural areas. Or we create massive suburbs on the fringes of the cities and just have massive city expansion or urban sprawl. Our manufacturing is all pretty much gone too, car companies like Ford, Holden, Toyota all gone and moved their manufacturing overseas. Steel plants used to be big industry here but wages, electricity prices and other regulations made it expensive to produce steel here, so expensive that companies just ship the iron to another country from Australia and make it there. Power is getting more expensive for environmental concerns/reasons making industry just more expensive in general compared to other countries where electricity is far cheaper. Anything we do create now also has big budget blow outs or never meet deadlines like the Snow Hydro 2.0 or Melbourne's highway systems. We're just not a serious country anymore. We had a golden age between 1980-2008.
Got questions ask me thanks mate
Proud criminal descendant here. We have heaps of resources and a government that is prepared to throw it all away for shiny baubles.
Aussie here, we may not be in a "recession" as such but we're bloody well heading towards one. Our inflation went up the wazoo a few months ago, shit's bad. Also we did used to have a massive manufacturing industry but it's all gone now and we mostly just sell food and raw minerals
Same with NZ.
Yeah, but compared to almost all other countries we doin alright
yeah id say were pretty fucked, ill never buy a house probably. its actually insane how quick our inflation is rising. scary stuff
Why is inflation rising?
But we had a recession during the lockdowns in 2020. True, now we have record low unemployment, but that is partly because lockdowns made many older folk realise that retirement wasn't so bad...
As an Aussie our current main concerns are housing (which is further exasperated by foreign and local investors), water security as you said, rising inflation and interest (making houses even more expensive) and debt. Last few administrations sucked up insane amounts of debt.
Housing is going to be tight for another 4-5 years. Huge immigration doesn’t help, especially for rental properties. Investors need to build more rentals (short and long term) as well. It’s less appealing for someone to lay down $$$$ for an uncertain future with successive governments changing tax laws on each other though. And for owner occupiers, it takes 1.5 years to build, and prices can’t be locked in due to inflation and scarcity of tradies. Plus the cost of land and build is likely to be higher than the banks valuation of the property. Such are the times we are living in. Zoning by local councils has a lot to answer for too. Careful to blame investors though.

You know we would be the richest country in the world per capita if we taxed the mining companies.
The reason we don't make steal is that our wages are too high and our currency too valuable to make it competitive in international markets. We used to have a large steel industry before we got rich, particularly in the city of Newcastle. But as wages went up we ended up just selling iron to China and buying back their steel. Hope this was helpful :)
No the reason we don’t manufacture steel here is because the bloody Kennett and Howard Governments sold off all our assets overseas and stopped us being self sufficient

Negative gearing isn't about the value of a property, it allows you to treat an investment property like a business and deduct expenses (mostly mortgage interest) against your taxable personal income. Negative gearing is where the expenses of the investment property are greater than the income so you pay net lower tax. You can't do it for your residence though. You can also make your investment property part of your low-tax retirement fund.
The right loves it because it enriches their base and supposedly increases housing supply, the left dislikes it because it is an expensive subsidy for investors and supposedly drives house price inflation. There's 15m taxpayers of which 2m have rental properties and 1m have negative gearing. Of the 1m, 9 in 10 have one investment property, the other 10% 2 or more.
Those numbers, despite being a small minority of overall electors (16.4m), mean it is hard to campaign against the system because it immediately alienates 1 million voters, mostly right voters, but enough independent and left voters to make a difference. Labor lost an election in 2019 where it campaigned against this system but won this year's election after it dropped that policy. Although it was only one issue among many, of course.

Australia has it in spades in primary industries (mining + agriculture) and tertiary industries (services). Apart from water, it's Achilles' heel is secondary industries (manufacturing). Human capital is too expensive here due to strong labour laws and high minimum wage (can't exploit workers like you can in underdeveloped countries). Hence, it's cheaper to export the raw material overseas, process them into usable commodities, and import them back. If Australia wants to be self-sufficient, they need to build up its secondary industries (local manufacturing).
Which is only possible by establishing high levels of automation from the start. If we had cheaper energy and solved our water supply issues with more advanced desalination technology, we could make a ridiculous amount of money.
@@namanish450 i feel like the fact that most of the country by area is desert and semidesert you could just go with 100% solar based desalination and turn the brine into salt.

Fun fact: the Brits tried and failed set up a penal colony in the Cape Colony in South Africa in 1849. When the colony's government found out, they tried to ask the Westminister parliament to cancel the policy, but by then it was too late - a ship full of convicts - mostly Irish women and children - were already on its way. Along the way, the ship also picked up petty convicts who had previously been sent to Barbados. By the time the ship arrived in Table Bay in Cape Town, the mayor organized a riot to prevent the convicts from being offloaded. The riot lasted for a hundred days and the convicts who were forced to remain on board the ship suffered because of the siege. Eventually, the Governor Sir Harry Smith was able to convince the Secretary for the Colonies Henry Gray the 3rd to send the ship off to Van Diemen's Land instead.

South America, Africa, and the rest of South East Asia/Oceania will be relatively untouched. They will have to struggle with the winter. Much of their population will survive compared to Northern Latitudes.

As an Australian, I would like to add something, One of the biggest issues I see with my country is the lack of ambition, From what I see day to day, People have no ambition, And of course there are people like that across the world, But especially in Australia, There is a lack of desire.People live to watch the Reality Drama on a Friday, Or the Cricket on a Saturday, Not to do anything of any significant purpose, People live....Just to live.

I live in Perth, because we're far smaller than other cities like Sydney or Melbourne, it's a lot calmer, but we often are affected by things that don't affect the east coast because there's such an enormous distance between the two sides of the country

@@SugmaDick That's a good point. I work in finance and probably made some of those calls and rightfully got told off for doing so. It is not that we don't know, it is either we don't care and/or we may only have a mobile number and assume you are not in WA(if we dont check or know your address).
In regards to call centres and whatnot some companies close their phone lines at 7 or 8pm to specifically cater for WA but probably an equal amount don't.
Personally, I feel like WA would be better off having some of their financial services done in Perth instead of the East Coast. Like the big banks, insurance companies and superannuation companies should set up offices in Perth specifically for people in WA.
If WA ever does want to succeed from the rest of Australia(being a bunch of rich bogans) then you would probably want to starting running your own financial services institutes rather than finding yourself cut off financially.

As an Aussie, I can say I never heard anyone say Dollarydoos. Also as far as economic history goes we didn't simply start digging, after the gold rush Australia was built on the sheeps back until recent history when mining took over. Negative gearing is more a way to treat an investment property as a business and claim the cost of a loss against any revenue you may receive. And water, although sparse in some areas, is abundant in the top end, we just need a way to capture and transfer it to the areas that need it. Apart from that pretty entertaining.

The water situation isn't actually that bad. As a farmer myself it forces growers to become ultra efficient or go out of business. Even in dry times there can be enough. Probably could do with less water intensive crops like almonds but hey if that's what city consumers want and will pay for, we can grow it.
I'm glad that our cattle station in the Kimberely sits ontop of a massive underground basin. More water than we could ever need 25m below our feet. We only do cattle though so don't need much but apparently we could change to irrigation across the whole station and our neighbours and still have enough.
the water situation is man made in the Murray Darling, due to atrocious water management and illegal trading in which the government (especially some LNP ministers) know or do nothing to stop it.
Multi national and million dollar companies are harvesting water and restricting water flow from the upper basin to the lower basin and essentially created a market where farmers downstream has to buy water from them during drought.
This has severely impacted every community downstream, and the poorest towns, like Wilcannia, have seen a skyrocket in socioeconomic crime and poverty as water is extremeley limited during drought. Also why are we farming water hungry crops in an arid climate?
TLDR, the murray darling basin water crisis in manmade, big companies restrict water flow to make a profit in the water market, and some politicians have stakes in it and let it slide.

These videos are always so funny H0ser and help me learn just a bit about other countries and their situations. Nice stuff.
the muray river dries up more than it did usually is because the nsw government allowed farmers (namely cotton farmers) to hold large amounts of water in storages, in northern nsw where the river starts. Australia has a pretty weird system where you basically bid on water, and foreigners are also allowed to bid on water for some reason. Just leads to a lot of regions downstream, especially southern nsw, in a constant state of drought or flood, no in between
Conservative governments especially Federal were responsible for the bidding on water etc.Thankfully voted out recently.Did untold damage in other areas.
it's not weird to bid on an economic resource owned by government. People bid for various mineral rights concessions all over the world. What is weird is that they let people steal so much of the water and allowed far to much water to be sold.
@@valdabaker428 What damage did it do? Bidding didn't cause people to take more water, the government letting too much be (legally and illegally) used did.

Slowly becoming an adult in Sydney, living in a poorer area (not white, thats the heart of cities were the rich - partying holidaying white people live), I'm so concerned as to how I can buy a house or apartment in Sydney.

Like America it's getting so hard to buy a house as a millenial/gen z/gen alpha, so its probably taking the family house! There's so much multiculturalism and diversity in Sydney and Melbourne but still a hell of a lot of discrimination.

The cities also include the suburbs which is where almost all housing is. Australian cities are also some of the most sprawling on the planet - Melbourne city is almost 10,000 square kilometres in area. Consequently due to this centralisation over 90% of the states population lives there. Thanks to negative gearing and various economic factors, houses regardless of location is growing ever more expensive (as this video would have informed you on if you watched it).

The top 5 cities in the USA are: New York 8.4m, Los Angeles 3.8m, Chicago 2.7m, Houston 2.3m, Phoenix 1.6m and together they make up 6% of the USA's population.
If you go by metro area the top the five equal about 1/5 of the US population

It was introduced so that the government could stop supplying housing, as negative gearing is less of a cost that publc housing

Mate, do some research and come back when you realise that renewables won't provide enough reliable power for the country. Climate change is a factor but it shouldn't be THE factor that determines power production.

"Lean, green E-lec-trice-i-ty"
@@nicktubby9710 Yes, but the renewables aren't.
Do some reading on solar panels and understand that they lose efficiency as they get hotter and it gets pretty hot in the Australian outback, it's not hard to see air temperatures of 45 degrees in the outback and object temperatures can exceed 60 degrees in the outback where a solar panel loses about 15% of its total power efficiency. Broken solar panels can leech toxic chemicals into the soil/ground beneath them which is up to 300x worse than nuclear waste. Also solar power require battery storage as the Sun doesn't shine all day and power tends to become more demanded at night time, well lithium batteries are probably the absolute worst thing to the environment you could ever create, they also tend to create horrible fires that can't easily be extinguished, this happened recently in Queensland to a Tesla Battery facility which took days to put out and released toxic smoke when it burned. Then those batteries have a certain life cycle, disposing of lithium batteries is incredibly expensive and also harms the environment.
You can go on and on about the horrible environmental effects of renewables, same thing with wind power or hydro power etc. Wind farms leeches oil into the surrounding environment and also kills tonnes of birds. Geothermal, same thing, you can pollute the water table, pretty sure we don't want to become the next Flint, Michigan. People only focus on the gas emissions part of power like coal power, thinking very rarely about the liquid or solid emissions other types of power have as environmental concerns. I'd say use hydrogen as a power source, but it's too dangerous to store and use, manufacturing is also not super friendly to the environment. There is no perfect version of power other than maybe Nuclear Fusion but that's never going to happen in our lifetime in a wide ranging way for power production. Better to use all the fossil fuel energy we have to enhance our quality of life and knowledge now and work on solutions in the meantime to meet rising demand and keep prices low. Climate change is not nearly as bad as the "officials" make out it is.

Your prediction of coal no longer being a power source is actually super accurate, there's also Singapore looking to build a pipeline for electricity from Australia and laws are pushing for renewable energy sources which are likely going to rely on wind or solar farms.
demand for Aussie Coal is actually increasing due to energy costs inflation worldwide .
@@JohnSmith-sj2dk I meant specifically in Australia, you're right, demand is definitely high and our exports are likely to increase. But, Aussie regulations are pushing for renewable energy sources which I should have specified.
In terms of transitioning away from coal, we’re currently building a massive solar farm that will provide up to 15% of Singapores energy needs. We have the space to produce enough solar energy to power the entire planet so I expect to see many more of these projects in the future. Taking Australia from a country that exports the materials to produce electricity to exporting the power itself.
buuuuut the farm is owned by overseas investors, what we really need is government/Australian owned business to operate the farms, this will keep more of the profits inside of Australia
Yep once we tap out our coal mines we can just build solar farms on top. All the skilled labor transfers over beautifully

Government gave everyone money. Kept ppl in their homes largely and kept them employed (largely), but the consequence of shutting down the economy and pumping money to everyone is inflation and an economy that needs time to correct itself
Honestly if things are going to go that way, I'm glad that a good chunk of the nations coming up in the world are functional democracies. Sure, Russia and China are scary but India, Brazil, Australia and the like, we could do worse as a species.
Ehhh not sure about functional
>India
>Brazil
>Functional democracies
lol
@@basedkaligula I think functional means "not entirely hopeless totalitarian states"
That barely function.
Semi functional democracies would be a bit more corrrect
Except Brazil, that thing is not a democracy
But hey, a semi functional democracy is better than no democracy
@@basedkaligula Guess I dont have any democratic rights because some rando who cant even name 5 states or regional languages said so on the internet
As an Australian, I am proud and disappointed at the same time ;)
me in perth aus literally having a hot af chrismas while on the other side of the planet ,the US are suffering from worst winter storm in history is strange feeling
Perth 30 plus degrees for Christmas meanwhile down south in Albany its a pleasant 21. That is why Ill never move back to Perth.
This is how the hemispheres work
Techinically we had a recession in 2020... but apart from that most the information in this video was very accurate!
depending on the metric used we've been in a recession for about 10 years now
Would be nice if Australia exported cobalt so we could stop getting it from the Congo. Also export rare earth metals so we can stop buying from China.
@@Redd_Nebulaa recession is 2 quarters of negative growth which we went into during the lockdowns
to be fair I think a lot of places went into recession during 2020
Can we just have a moment for this yt for creating this vid? As an Australian, it makes me feel honoured and finally being noticed. Having this man talking about facts is truly a moment for the British empire (we do not talk about the r4sc!m back in the days) as they made Australia a real place. h0ser then makes me happy about the desert and the memes and so on.
As an Australian I didn’t expect us to be talked about in this way
1:12 oh so you like 30+ degree weather daily 😂
Rn it’s REALLY cold. It’s not hot 24/7. I like using 2 jumpers/jackets.
As an Australian I appreciate your attention to detail to not include Tasmania at 8:22 as only true Australia enjoyers and Aussies know it simply does not exist
I enjoyed Australia and I went there Tasmania is a great place with a rich economy and having the cleanest air on earth and also having amazing cities, people , and wildlife
That’s why Tasmania is one of the only “states” I haven’t visited
I’m glad to see an outside view on the country 👍

Perf*
