~Updates~ Wow thanks for all of the engagement on this video!! It seems that a lot of people have opinions on this topic. Great to hear that so many others who moved to Australia are happy 🙌 A few things i’d like to clarify… - The reasons from moving to Aus from the UK are mainly my own and of those I know personally and may not apply to everyone. Also, the experience of living in a country can vary depending on location, lifestyle etc. Costs are also personal - what may be expensive to some may not be to others, so please be mindful of this 🙂 - There’s been a lot of discussion around housing costs, I didn’t delve much into these as they can be expensive in both countries (particularly in cities)! I don’t think people necessarily move to Aus for cheaper housing 🏡 - I realised after I recorded this video that the Sydney metro frees aren’t quite $1 🤦♀️ My bad! Side note: any racist or inappropriate comments will be removed. Please keep this comment section PG! 🙅♀️
You should check the statistics. Sydney and Melbourne are amongst the most expensive cities to live in the world. Sydney has the second highest cost of housing in the world, only behind Hong Kong.
@lottieClack Cost of Living is worse in Australia. This video is a young person viewpoint. Australia has the lowest disposal household income in the developed world, much worse than the UK. www.news.com.au/finance/economy/australian-economy/three-unenviable-economic-records-broken-in-november/news-story/d295ba29f91ff55c8c47564043f49bea
I’ve lived in Sydney, Australia since 1991. I was born in Manchester. 1. Daylight hours are actually longer in the UK in summer- though are shorter in winter. I think the sunlight intensity makes you think they are longer. 2. Sydney has increased in costs significantly over the past few years, just the same as the UK. 3. Swimming pools are more popular because the weather makes it worthwhile, though, I doubt you’ll have big pool in Newtown unless it’s a shared pool in a unit block or you are a gazillion air. 4. A working holiday Visa doesn’t guarantee you future residency and Australian has caps now, as immigration surges has introduced growing pains. 5. Australia is literally cut off from the rest of the world. Well, it has improved with the internet, but getting anywhere is a major trip. 6. While public transport is a bit cheaper, you live in Newtown and it’s literally next to the CBD. Try living in Marsden Park and commuting. It’s a multi hour expensive operation. Also, while the UK is more expensive, its rail and road network is substantially better and the rail, much quicker than here. It hasn’t improved since I got here, though the Metro line has added hope. 7. While the weather is better (hell it’s the same latitude as Cairo!) Sydney’s weather has become more extreme. We have had some of the wettest periods and driest periods back to back and frankly Sydney summers have become more humid, . I also personally don’t enjoy them as much as spring and autumn. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad idea to come here. We have many advantages but it’s not a done deal that it will be for everyone. My biggest plus was that Australian’s give everyone a go. I was from Manchester and found much snobbery around background in the UK that wasn’t here at all. In universities this was a real plus.
building standards in Australia are worse than in Europe. Majority of people still don't realise that double-glazing can save you from the heat too, not just from the cold. They are saying that a house "needs to breathe", so droughts are great. Even in Victoria, the coldest state (probably?), building standards are meh. I spend so much time washing off mould on the windows in our rental. Or trying to eliminate the ants and spiders, because there so many gaps in doors & windows. Collect bodies of dead little lizards (in a room where I don't open the windows because of the neighbors), so they probably simply crawl through the gaps. So lovely!
Give everyone a go yes in educational institutions, but I'm the corporate sector, senior management is still heavily dominated by white and European both men and women.
The problem with migranting to Australia is that our infrastructure is not prepared for the current population. Australia just hit 27 Mil, and it wasnt expecting to reach that for another decade or so... Australia also has the highest cost of housing and rent due to demand over supply. If you are planning to move to Australia, dont move to the major cities of Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. Housing and rent can be up to 50% cheaper in rural areas.
yeah but there are no services and no decent jobs in those rural areas, meanwhile you can get a smaller city unit with access to better food, shorter commutes, and better internet, for about the same price as the rural areas, which makes a lot of sense if your moving internationally without a lot of junk to park like old cars Caravans and boat trailers.
Canada is growing at 1.1 million people a year so a much faster rate than Australia, housing problems are universal throughout all western nations at this point not just Australia. I would rather unaffordable housing and sunshine over unaffordable housing and snow
My Nan migrated from London to QLD Australia in 1955. She has always said it was the best decision of her life. She has regularly traveled back to the uk to visit family and I have joined her on one occasion which was lovely.
I don’t get it. Australia housing prices are worse than the UK. Our cost of living is also ridiculous the only upside is we pay millions to live in paradise instead of a sh*t hole.
Hey Lottie, the sydney rail journeys are not $1, it shows as $1 if you tap with your debit card for the journey but once the charge goes from "pending" it will show the actual charge which is approx $4-$6 one way. The reason why its $1 on your card is its a temporary authorisation and once your journey is completed it will calculate what you should actually be charged. Its approx $10-$12 return for me on my office days, don't be shocked when you see your bank statements!
But you can get from Sydney to Newcastle on the train (About the same distance from London to somewhere like Bristol) for waaaaaay cheaper than if you were to try and get a ticket the same day in the UK. It can cost up to 200 AUD for a trip like that in the UK!
We always want what we don't have. And Europe definitely has a vibe you can't get anywhere else. Australia has another vibe, which is good in its own way.
What makes Australia great is not the landscape or the weather... in fact, the Mediterranean region is the best on Earth by far. What makes Australia great are the people and the society they created, I wish them to stay that way as long as possible.
@Dunno-h8r Instead of finding stupid explanations on why it is the way it is, why not copping them and their way of life?!...I'm sure you will have the same results✌🏻
@@andromeda199 if you think Australia is at the same stage of degradation as Britain you’ve been living under a rock. Like I said, don’t move here and bring your vote with you. You people voted Britain into a position so bad you left it.
I was born in Sydney and spent the first 27 years of my life wanting to get the heck out of it. Lived in London for 6 years (loved every minute of it), New York for 3, SF for 1 (and this was before the crime waves took over). I think when you take everything into consideration it is really hard to beat Australia. Been back in Sydney for almost a decade and absolutely love it. But I still think everyone should try leaving and come to their own realisation.
I am Aussie born and know no other life.Your comment sparked my curiousity.Do you think Brits who chose to live here are a particular type of person?I mean like active, sporty, motivated, friendly, adventurous etc
@@petermcculloch4933 of all the brits I know from work, not really. Most were just looking for a better quality of life, affordable, chill and friendly.
G'day Lottie, I'm a Brit, moved here over 30 yrs ago, got citizenship, worked in own business, now have retired and drawing Aussie old aged pension. My only regret is I should have made the move earlier. I love the UK, it's history, it's culture, but have never considered moving back. Welcome to you Lottie, hope things work out for you.
Australia 🇦🇺 is just as expensive as London prices are increasing and wages aren’t rising either most people are look for work as more than 1 job to survive and some people are finding it hard to get into after a long time speaking from experience
@@paulsz6194 at the moment I work from home as sole trader to fix and build computer when I get the chance I am finding it hard to get into work or find a job.
Australia is more expensive than 95% of the world, its not cheap at all. And the house market and cost of living is getting very aggressive. Dont want to be negative but its the truth Compared to england its maybe better
@@Ace-ex6cx Its a wise move perhaps for a well spoken pretty young white woman who wants to stay in the Anglosphere and already has an Australian passport. For almost anyone else, you'd do well to consider other options (the other 95%)
As an Australian I'd recommend against coming here, the cost for housing is horrendous and things are just going to keep getting worse. I love this country but our government has dragged the economy into the mud sadly
9 years of inaction and gutting our Tafes is why our housing is so fucked. The current government is doing something about it but it takes a while to get people through trades.
@ Free TAFE goes a long way in convincing people to take up a trade. Just need more spots in the schools. But yes, currently we do need to import. Hopefully that will change soon.
Welcome back to Aus. No idea why your video was recommended in my feed but hey its always good to get a new subscriber. Good luck building your channel.
I'm an Aussie and I find english people to be the best immigrants, they're culturally similar, they appreciate what we have here and are generally great people to deal with. Followed by the Chinese, I really like them, they're hard workers and are here to get stuff done, they definitely make Australia a better country to live in.
Well, with highly educated browns everywhere you go. Be it hospitals, IT, business, finance, universities, let's see who takes over the Western world faster.
I am currently visiting London (Nov 2024) and I have noticed the 'unhappiness' in brits. I have enjoyed every bit of my visit, but a lot of us Aussie's dont realise how good we have it. Yes, we have societal/cultural/political problems like everywhere else, but it's pretty damn good down under.
@harveyosullivan Well, their renewables is what caused the majority of the problem. Dont say it hasn't. Otherwise, you be a liar. Back i 2020. It wasn't as expensive as it is now. I know as I pay the bills and do the shopping
Brits have always been the largest migrant group, ever since 1788. They don't get noticed because language and culture are so similar. There are waves, but even in the non-wave years, Brits are still arriving in large numbers. Many claim it is because of the weather, but the underlying biggest reason is that Australia is the land of opportunity, and starting a new life in which there is hope and people can dream of better days with room to grow. Welcome.
More cultural difference between the two countries than most people think. A lot of Australians these days have at least some Asian ancestry and I think it has influenced the culture somewhat.
Not anymore. In fact nowhere near it. Brits are quickly being replaced by Asian countries . Here are the top countries by birth for 2022-23. India People’s Republic of China Philippines Nepal United Kingdom New Zealand Vietnam South Africa Pakistan Sri Lanka www.homeaffairs.gov.au/research-and-statistics/statistics/country-profiles/profiles
The majority of Brits who stay come to SA because it’s cheaper than the eastern states and Adelaide is such an easy city to travel in. I spent the first 19 years of my life in Sydney but would never go back after living in Adelaide. I do, however, love Victoria for holidays.
I moved to Queensland in 2008 from the UK. I have been to Tassie, Sydney, Melbourne, Much of the Queensland coast up to Port Douglas. Australia is far more diverse than the UK. Climates vary greatly and the way Aussies live varies depending where they live. Also the lifestyles vary and so does the cost of living. Prices vary a lot depending where you live. Anywhere quiet and more remote the food prices sky rocket. Depending upon what you want you will find here. From city life, the coast, the bush, tropical rainforests to desert, to the snowy alpine regions. It is all here. Do you want to go skiing in Mt perisher. Scuba dive the barrier reef. Endless summers in northern Queensland. The long cool temperate Tasmania. I live on Brisbane's bayside. We have the city. Gold Coast with surfers paradise, all the theme parks, night life, tropical hinterland where I am a celebrity get me out of here was filmed. Warner bros studios are here so Hollywood film here a lot. Sunshine Coast is not far away. Billions spent on development there. Also we have the islands. These keep the bayside water calm and act as a water playground for boaties and jet skis, lounging on a catermeran. Plenty of bush walking trails and mountain bike trails to explore. You never get bored here. Love it.
As a migrant of 46 years. I think i would portray Aussie, better than the 'tacky'Gold Coast and their theme parks. OK if you have got kids i suppose. The only thing i miss, is the football. Aussies still think we give a rats a**e about the Ashes, and brainwash the public as such, Also rugby and Australian Rules (heaven forbid the most overrated game on earth) is rammed down our throats The Beautiful Game, is portayed as un Australian ,and the media, take a lot of trouble to denigrate it ,Soccer lovers be aware
@@paulgearing3018 What is meant by "football" depends on whether you live. In NSW and Queensland, it's Rugby League. Everywhere else, it's Australian Rules. If you mean the round ball game, you have to say "soccer", and this code was and perhaps still is, most popular among Australia's post WW2 immigrant communities - Italians, Greeks, Serbs, Croatians, etc. Soccer is always supposed to become a popular code here, but this never really happens, and our best players inevitably finish up playing elsewhere, more particularly in Europe.
For over 25 years, I've worked with UK citizens on the Australian Working Holiday visa. It's no exaggeration to say that 98% of them want to stay much longer, often for the rest of their lives.
I was in hospital a few weeks ago for 10 days and around 90% of the nurses(female/male) were from The Republic of Ireland. It was a lot of fun, for a hospital at any rate. :)
I don't want to burst your bubble, but you're not paying $1 for the train/metro. That's a holding fee that your bank takes and then calculates the full fare later.
Aye, the train is $2.94 for 0-10km off peak travel, and the bus is $2.24 for 0-3km but in normal commuting times it is $4.20 and $3.20. Brisbane does have 50c public transport travel though, the lucky bastards 😂
This girl is no "whingeing Pom". We need more like her with such a positive attitude. Scratch any Aussie of my generation and you will find an ex-patriate Brit from 'way back (140 years ex Devonshire) but we are proud Aussies now, living in the Lucky Country.🥰 Welcome
As an aussie it's kinda wild to hear someone talk how much better australia is, i do agree there are inherit things that are just better (weather, culture) but economy im not too sure. In australia we constantly hear how bad we have it with cost of living and cost of housing but this video has made me think that those people might be wrong.
A lot of the people coming over here are generally young enough where the problems we see as Aussies they will not encounter for a while. They generally share house, work hospitality or retail jobs or they go exploring. When they settle down and look for a property or try and move up in their career is when they will encounter the problems.
Since Covid changed so many things, literally everyone that lives here in Australia wants to get the hell out, but if you Brits want to come here, by all means go ahead if it makes you happy lol
Yes, trains are cheaper here because they are government-run (I believe they are privatised in the UK). However, unless you are going to live in a smaller regional town, moving to Sydney/Melbourne to escape the cost of living crisis is like moving to Ukraine to escape war. Speaking as a Sydney-sider, unless you are set with a really good job, you'd be lucky to find an affordable rental in Western Sydney...let alone afford the laid back Bondi lifestyle most Brits envision when they think of Australia.
@@justinsullivan6410 Incorrect. Melbourne's rail infrastructure is owned by the Victorian government, while the trains are operated by 60% MTR, who are from Hong Kong and 20% Chinese (via John Holland, who is owned by China Communications Construction Company) and 20% UGL Rail (Australian). The fleet is currently mainly Chinese and French designed, but will eventually move to all French.
It’s worth keeping in mind that the AUD prices you’re mentioning are for Sydney, which is probably the most expensive place to live in Australia, although the other state capitals like Melbourne and Brisbane aren’t too far behind. But public transport in Sydney is far more reasonably priced than Melbourne. That said, when the honeymoon phase is over and you realise that there’s much more to Australia than Sydney, come to Melbourne or Brisbane or the Gold Coast. Polar opposites but both better lifestyles and have more soul than Sydney. Another point of interest. An English woman I was talking to recently was saying her main reason for moving from the UK to Australia is because though she was single with no children, she felt that Australia is a far better place today to raise a family than the UK, especially London, and that is one of her near future goals.
It seems to me that the decline in living standards in both countries is related to the implementation of neoliberal policies in both countries. Australia should be a lot richer, the eastern states sits on seams of coal. The western state is on deposits of iron ore, with other minerals in between. At the moment we have too much migration.
We’ve had the unfortunate luck that our natural resources are on shore and have been profited by a select few as opposed to a Norway whose resources were off shore and went to the state
Yes, "neoliberal" policies... Not the fact that UK went from 35% government debt/gdp ratio in 2007 to 70% in 2010, 80% in 2014 and now sits at almost 100%. Australia went from 0% in 2009 to 18% in 2016 and now sits at 44%.
Mass migration is one of our biggest problems. People can't afford to buy houses. Our population has grown by almost 50% in less than 25 years purely through mass migration
Thank you for the excellent information. I recently came back to the UK after living 10 years in Kenya. I already felt the high prices. When I left the UK 2012, a hair-cut was about £3, now it is nearly £20. (That is the same for everything). It seems the prices never went down after the COVID. I noticed people don't go out as much - due to the high prices. Many shops are closing down, because the economy doesn't support businesses as before. In short, I am planning to move to Kenya, UAE or Malaysia.
@@GERS316 OK. that is is a lot. There are some parts of the world where people make $2 a day. Some countries that I visited the average salary is less than $150. What a world we are living in.
@@PwerRanger01 Many are unfortunately struggling, but "most" just want to keep blowing money on stuff they'll use once and move on to the next dumb purchase. Post-Covid inflation has made them have to be financially disciplined for once and they can't handle not being reckless anymore.
I came from Peru to Australia. Best decision ever. It’s surprising to see people complaining about the cost of living. 2 EXAMPLES: 1. Housing, yes , here is expensive, renting a whole apartment (2 bedrooms) in SA is 50% of a minimum wage. Now, in my country is at least 110% of our minimum wage!! 2. Food, Spaghetti 500g, here is 1 Aud. 0.03% of minimum wage, bro , again, in my country 0.5%, that’s a huge difference. Yes, Aussies have the right to complain, but men, there are not too much countries outside where the situation is better. Not even the third world is cheaper.
@jvvoid My wife is a foreigner, Northern europe, and she returns home quite often to see her family, especially her neices and nephews. Every time she comes back to Australia and gets back into the swing of things ,daily life ,work chores etc she often says, I miss home and we should think about moving there. She has 17 years to compare it with how it was then and how it is now and she is completely right. All standards of living has slipped in Australia, even the wages despite everything else price wise sky-rocketing. I think the charm of this country gets people to fall in love with it and before too long your married to it and thinking, "Oh shit I gotta get out".
You don’t compare with 3rd world but you enjoy saying “my holidays in Indonesia, Thailand, South America were SO CHEAP”. And it’s not like that if you compare with the national wages. Europe and USA? They are still worse. Maybe only Switzerland is better than Australia in certain ways and that’s it. Not even Nordic countries nowadays. You complain and compare but currently there is no other place where is better.
Anyone with abit of common sense is coming DOWN UNDER. Welcome to Australia, Mate. The beer is cold, the beaches are golden, the future is so bright we all wear sunglasses.
They are fleeing from countries without freedom of speech, like the UK. Wait, what? Australia is attempting to pass laws so what they can do what they do in the UK? Crap, now what?? Government: "Don't worry, it's for the children... cough cough" Australia is in dire straights and most Aussies are in denial. I'm an Aussie in Singapore, and Singapore is EXPENSIVE. I went back to Australia recently and the pricing isn't all that different. In fact, I can rent cheaper in SG than I can in Sydney access medical care in minutes and get a meal for $6, now that says something. Anyone with common sense is paying attention to the politicians who are totally taking the piss out of our country. They are overrunning the place with migrants and then pointing their fingers at the states to solve the problem. Aussies are demanding pay rises (understandably with cost of living) but they don't realise that literally all of their neighbours (except NZ) work for literally half the price, so we can't be an effective labour force. ATO has run most business out of town and the last of the big companies have cut special deals with the government because the politicians are investors of those companies. We don't make anything anymore, we don't really research anymore, we don't have uni in the top world uni's anymore. In fact, the top of our IQ chain is a tradie, hmmm... Small businesses are shutting down at an alarming rate because the risk isn't worth the cent's on the dollar in returns they 'might' get after the state and ATO finish with them. We don't tax the big companies and give most of the minerals away for free or next to free. We aren't building enough homes to support our swelling population, we also aren't upgrading core infrastructure like electricity, sewage, and public transport. We have privatised our main road systems with secrets deals so the average citizen has no idea what's going on. Cold beer is the best you've got? Oh wait, you might have a point there, hahaha. It might be the only way to enjoy falling off the cliff. Aussies need to demand accountability from their governments and get rid of the 'she'll be right mate, nothing we can do' mentality. We are in trouble and we have no-one to blame but ourselves because we keep voting them in.
@@mikebennett744 It's not just the politicians mate.. it's the corporations that fund them. Successive Aussie govts have legislated to make corporate takeovers easier, usually overseas conglomerates.. ur right though, they pay no tax.
@@baabaabaa-El Yep you are right. There should be far more controls in place regarding corporations and government. The unfortunate reality is that post government, these dudes need a job somewhere, so might as well make it a 7 figure job in return for some 'concessions'. I have an unpopular opinion that we don't pay our government tiers enough, and we have way too much government! Our prime minister should not be out looking for a job the second he leaves the top job. No wonder they do what they do. I may have mentioned in an earlier post I live overseas atm. The public servants here on average are paid A LOT more than Aussie PS are, and you can tell. They attract the brightest minds, are given clear mandates, and are held accountable (sacked) if they mandates are not met, simple. If Australia did this we would incentivize bright minds to get in and reduce waste (read cost), improve efficiency, and get paid properly while doing it. Our goal as a country should be to have clear mandates and expectations of our government, not just let them make up new ways to 'govern' us all the time, which costs money. I'm keen to see how the yanks go with what they are about to do, reduce government where it isn't needed.
@@mikebennett744 Yes, seems those wanting to come here have no idea what has been happening here for last 4 years. I arrived in 2005, and Australia had already peaked - marked by the Sydney Olympics. Since then it's been a been getting progressively worse with ever more draconian government, and the asset stripping corporations feasting on the carcass. Governments that are acting in complete opposition to the needs and wants of the population they purportedly serve (we know it's the other way around).
Im an Australian (duel actually) and 20 years ago when I was living in the UK everyone wpuld ask why are you living here? We have been trying to move over there for ages! So it's not new. My feeling on it it while you cannot beat the Aussie lifestyle - the UK - especially London seems like the capital of the world and Australia seems quite isolated. - so there is good and bad.
Yep London has fooball- Australia is waaaaaaay behind the rest of the world in sport Ironically Aussies think they are the sports champions of the world .Yes in sports that no one cares about, Take our cricket ,OMG Cricket hasn't been Englands national spot since 1948 Yet they think English cry in their beer, if we lose the Ashes. Most of the time English wouldn't even know the Ashes were in town. Take Australia and India out of the equasion ,and test cricket would be dead .Dont even start me on Australian Rules
A note on Sydney rail fares. The Newtown to city one way fare is about $3 (off peak) and $4 (peak). Fares are capped daily at $18.70 (Mon-Thu) and $9.35 (Fri-Sun & Public Holidays). Capped weekly (Mon-Sun) at $50.00. A Cambridge to London equivalent journey would cost about $10 one way.
Australia was an incredible country but it's been very quickly declining over the last 10 years, particularly the last 4-5 years. High cost of living, both sides of politics have become highly authoritarian and increasingly intolerant of political dissent, and an insane amount of rules and regulations from the three levels of government. It's a nanny state essentially, particularly in the capital cities. Outside of the capital cities it's still quite good, and the scenery is majestic in places, but it's definitely not a country in the ascendancy phase.
"Australia was an incredible country but it's been very quickly declining over the last 10 years, particularly the last 4-5 years" you literally mentioned the window that was due to Covid.... Whether or not you believe its being a conspiracy.. It had a ww affect....
The cost of housing is the biggest problem. Not sure I agree with you about political dissent. It’s still a very robust democracy and I feel I can speak my mind about everything.
Fantastic video🔥🔥! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong??
Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence. It might also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced traders or do some research on different trading strategies.
If you are trading without a professional guide... Ah, I laugh, because you will stay where you are or even suffer huge losses that will prevent you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problems for new traders.
Hello! Aussie person here. Personally I’ve never met someone from the UK who I didn’t instantly like or get along with. I’d love to settle down with a nice English girl someday, if I can find one. It’s expensive as shit, but it’s a wonderful country, and a great place to raise a family. However, the dating scene is in tatters, since everybody is either already taken and a single girl is really hard to find. We could use more UK girls around here, and I’m sure you’ll find it’s a completely different world down under
Average weekly wage : 900$ retail Rent: 500-800 a week. One person grocery shop buying budget brands and skipping meals 160$ Yeh. Come to Australia. It's awesome.
Welcome to Sydney, I've migrated here from Europe 15 years ago and loving it. I was visiting my family in London last year and it was the most expensive place I stopped at during my European trip
In Brisbane all metro train, bus and ferry fares are FIFTY CENTS. You can train it from Gympie North to the Gold Coast for 50c. How long this lasts is anyone's guess, but it's glued on for the time being. Interestingly, it was going to be free but interested parties wanted to keep a head count for future planning. (Cubic would of been useless as they run the ticketing system).
They should probably bump it up to $1-$2. The problem with it being super cheap is that it takes people who were walking or riding bikes and jams them onto public transport, at which point overcrowding leads to more people driving. Cheap is good though, but free or nearly free isn’t, especially during peak.
I hate to burst your bubble, but you will need £500k to buy a cheap house and rental properties are just not available. The cost of living is high but probably comparable to the uk. Wait until after the crash to go at least the exchange rate be better assuming you have wads of cash sitting ready. :)
Glad to hear your story on TH-cam. It reminds me of my mum who migrated to Canada in 1961, and who almost ended up in Australia. When my uncle from England used to visit he was impressed with the larger homes, beautiful gardens and quality of life. Unfortunately these days too much migration has put everything under strain, so they have had to scale that back.
That’s a big exaggeration perpetrated by the right wing media here. Sky News is a Murdoch cesspool of right wing misinformation so they justifiably feel threatened.
The train fare is actually $4.20 peak and about $3 off peak. That $1 that shows up after you tap with your phone is something more like a pre-authorisation on your credit card. It would be great if we had $1 trips - Brisbane is trialling 50c trips. Short train trips are typically more expensive than a short drive in Sydney, while long trips are cheaper. Overall the trains are not very expensive though. We don't have that cheaper-for-younger structure that Europe and the UK have either - over 18 is full fare unless a student.
@@TheLegitHardTruthamen to that. Australia can't handle interest rates and higher rents and expensive properties to buy. If more comes in, Australia will be over crowded. Those who have a country no wars should stay in there country and be thankful for what they have
To be honest, it's nice to have migrants who know and understand Australian culture. While it can be fun to introduce people who've lived a vastly different life to the local customs and attitudes and language (seeing them have a bit of a freak out can be funny), it can be tiring sometimes.
@@fleaniswerkhardt4647 that too. But I generally find most can speak and understand English, for the most part, but they don't understand Aussie slag and local idioms. For instance, one Colombian guy I was working with asked me what "pretty meant", because I said I was pretty good today. He was still learning English.
Don’t get fooled by the beauty of Australia, don’t get me wrong Aussies are the best people to be around with, however the system is broken, high level corruption, living standards going down the toilet, you will be working 50 hours a week just to pay for basics rent and food, forget buying a property, Australia used to be a lucky country, politicians destroyed it.
Everyone you know? What, you only know ten people? But, regardless of your hyperbole, most who leave come back after a few years when they realise that the grass is not greener on the other side. I spent enough years working in various foreign countries to know that nowhere is as good as here. I have also lived in every Australian capital city except Canberra and Adelaide and believe that people would be far happier and better off financially if they lived in regional towns. Those who whinge about the high cost of housing here have unrealistic expectations because they are fixated on living in large cities. Unless you come here with a million dollars or to a $250,000 a year job, forget the big cities.
@@JohnMikhail-q8f 3rd world dumps which they try to pretend are paradises. Meanwhile they live in heavily polluted environments where you cant drink the water or walk down the street without getting run over and live on cheap unhealthy food because it is cheaper than Australia. If you go to these places you will see these expats sitting in sleazy bars drinking cheap booze and decrying the cost of living in a 1st world country. Then they die 20 years earlier than if they lived in expensive Australia generally from simple illnesses which would have cost them nothing to diagnose under the Australian health system.
You can live in either place and be happy or unhappy. I grew up in Brisbane, lived in London and Manchester for 10 years now live in Melbourne. I loved living in all places and then missed certain things about other cities after I left. I’m happy wherever I go but having the beach and sunshine does make a difference to me.
Netto, over 30K Australian citizens left Australia last year (financial 2022-23). That's proportionally not that much more than there are British citizens leaving the UK. Both countries are not doing well, at least according to the people born there. Net immigration from the UK to Australia was 19K, about 3.5% of the total net migration to Australia. It is obviously mainly Asian immigrants that come to Australia. 14K from Thailand, 18K from Vietnam, 41K from Philippines, 72K from China and Hong Kong, and over 130K from India, Nepal and Bhutan.
@@seanlander9321 Sure thing, guv. Australian government says only 90,000 people receive pensions overseas, while well over 200,000 people leave Australia each year. Math is hard, innit?
As they say in Australia we are not here to fuck spiders Move to Australia because it is awesome The weather is beautiful We have plenty of problems but in my opinion we have much less problems than most other countries Enjoy
@@JayzVeez if we could turn the deserts green and make them productive, we could have a lot more people. For the amount of land, we have a very small population.
A lot of Australians are trying to escape, us included. The great Australian Brain drain of professionals has been a problem for decades. Living in an affordable country town is like going back decades culturally, and some of them a two days drive from major cities, not just a couple hours like the UK. Anyone thinking they are coming to Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney for cheaper more affordable living compared to the UK is in for a massive shock. Gang crimes, unemployment and drugs are a problem now in both capitals and regional towns.
The right question if there is a major difference in living cost and lifestyle, is why is there a difference, and then how do we in Australia keep it moving in the right direction.
While I accept that things are probably in a better position on the whole right now, it won't be for long especially given the current trajectory of the cost of living over here. As an example the houses here are so very expensive comparative to wages that the average person can barely afford even rent (let alone to buy) without 2 people working full time due to the critical shortfall in housing and if you don't live in the cities which are expensive, you need to spend the maintenance on a vehicle just to get around anywhere. Sure it's not the worst in the world but I think you're overselling it, and with a mass migration it's just going to drive the prices up even higher to make it even more unaffordable for those of us trying to get by.
Most people i know who have recently emigrated to Aus from the uk now wish they hadnt. Admittedly they hadnt considered the Starmer train wreck in their calculations.
Cost of living, housing, transport, benefits of better education and healthcare weather and employment. Lived in Sydney and Melbourne, preferring Adelaide and Canberra. Wife came here to study ended up working in the University as support staff.
@lamsmiley1944 Cost of living, especially housing, is continuing to increase and will never go down, local culture is disappearing in favour of inferior ethnicities, racial segregation is being encouraged, working and middle class is being squeezed out. Crime is increasing, freedoms decreasing.
Don’t worry you will start complaining about the cost of living once you’ve acclimatised and had to deal with the cost of accommodation but…… we speak English (kind of), the sun does shine (mostly), when it rains it pisses down and it is safe’ish for the most part (let’s not mention England’s crises at the moment). Keep in mind Australia has a lot of creatures that can bite you or eat you or at least annoy you, but you can navigate or avoid those dangers.
After watching this video, as a Canadian citizen, I am planning to enter Australia on a 6 month visitor visa and seek some sort of visa that would enable me to live and work in Australia.
Hello. As a curious Japanese person, I believe that Australia and the UK are like cousins because Australians’ ancestors came from England, and the accents of both countries are similar. But does Australia have any major risks other than kangaroos and aggressive crocodiles?
They're in for a rude awakening...it's a massive rip off and the standard of living has dropped off considerably. So if they're expecting financial relief here, they're going to be shocked.
Not sure you exactly correct here. Seems more like for most people, the main reason your leaving is because of all the migrants in the UK. So rather than solve that, you all want to migrate her and introduce similar problems in regards to housing and employment shortages... doesn't make sense. Fix the problems in the UK rather than bring them here. And the cost of living in Australia is one of the highest in the world. So that makes no sense to come here for that reason. Your train ticket excuse, wrong. I spend $74 a week commuting to work. So basically the same. Wages aren't increasing here either. And the tiny 70p difference and the face it costs more to live here, seems like your breaking even. I just think its more about running away from the problems in the UK than moving for any other real reasons.
I lived in Australia for 9 years. 8 years in Sydney and 1 year in Melbourne and just relocated back to the UK. I’m far more qualified than the person in this video to comment on this. Sydney and Melbourne are on par with London in terms of cost of living, and thus more expensive than cheaper parts of the UK.
~Updates~
Wow thanks for all of the engagement on this video!! It seems that a lot of people have opinions on this topic. Great to hear that so many others who moved to Australia are happy 🙌
A few things i’d like to clarify…
- The reasons from moving to Aus from the UK are mainly my own and of those I know personally and may not apply to everyone. Also, the experience of living in a country can vary depending on location, lifestyle etc. Costs are also personal - what may be expensive to some may not be to others, so please be mindful of this 🙂
- There’s been a lot of discussion around housing costs, I didn’t delve much into these as they can be expensive in both countries (particularly in cities)! I don’t think people necessarily move to Aus for cheaper housing 🏡
- I realised after I recorded this video that the Sydney metro frees aren’t quite $1 🤦♀️ My bad!

You should check the statistics. Sydney and Melbourne are amongst the most expensive cities to live in the world. Sydney has the second highest cost of housing in the world, only behind Hong Kong.
@lottieClack Cost of Living is worse in Australia. This video is a young person viewpoint. Australia has the lowest disposal household income in the developed world, much worse than the UK. www.news.com.au/finance/economy/australian-economy/three-unenviable-economic-records-broken-in-november/news-story/d295ba29f91ff55c8c47564043f49bea
I’ve lived in Sydney, Australia since 1991. I was born in Manchester.
1. Daylight hours are actually longer in the UK in summer- though are shorter in winter. I think the sunlight intensity makes you think they are longer.
2. Sydney has increased in costs significantly over the past few years, just the same as the UK.
3. Swimming pools are more popular because the weather makes it worthwhile, though, I doubt you’ll have big pool in Newtown unless it’s a shared pool in a unit block or you are a gazillion air.
4. A working holiday Visa doesn’t guarantee you future residency and Australian has caps now, as immigration surges has introduced growing pains.
5. Australia is literally cut off from the rest of the world. Well, it has improved with the internet, but getting anywhere is a major trip.
6. While public transport is a bit cheaper, you live in Newtown and it’s literally next to the CBD. Try living in Marsden Park and commuting. It’s a multi hour expensive operation. Also, while the UK is more expensive, its rail and road network is substantially better and the rail, much quicker than here. It hasn’t improved since I got here, though the Metro line has added hope.
7. While the weather is better (hell it’s the same latitude as Cairo!) Sydney’s weather has become more extreme. We have had some of the wettest periods and driest periods back to back and frankly Sydney summers have become more humid, . I also personally don’t enjoy them as much as spring and autumn.
I wouldn’t say it’s a bad idea to come here. We have many advantages but it’s not a done deal that it will be for everyone. My biggest plus was that Australian’s give everyone a go. I was from Manchester and found much snobbery around background in the UK that wasn’t here at all. In universities this was a real plus.
"Give everyone a go" is true democracy that united people.
I'm so sick of Sydney weather lol... we only get about 4 really good months per year... there is so much rain
building standards in Australia are worse than in Europe. Majority of people still don't realise that double-glazing can save you from the heat too, not just from the cold. They are saying that a house "needs to breathe", so droughts are great. Even in Victoria, the coldest state (probably?), building standards are meh. I spend so much time washing off mould on the windows in our rental. Or trying to eliminate the ants and spiders, because there so many gaps in doors & windows. Collect bodies of dead little lizards (in a room where I don't open the windows because of the neighbors), so they probably simply crawl through the gaps. So lovely!
Give everyone a go yes in educational institutions, but I'm the corporate sector, senior management is still heavily dominated by white and European both men and women.
Your comment has more useful and correct information than this video
The problem with migranting to Australia is that our infrastructure is not prepared for the current population. Australia just hit 27 Mil, and it wasnt expecting to reach that for another decade or so... Australia also has the highest cost of housing and rent due to demand over supply. If you are planning to move to Australia, dont move to the major cities of Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. Housing and rent can be up to 50% cheaper in rural areas.
I thought we were 28mil
well even in the mountains which is limited in work without long travel the rent is pretty high.
yeah but there are no services and no decent jobs in those rural areas, meanwhile you can get a smaller city unit with access to better food, shorter commutes, and better internet, for about the same price as the rural areas, which makes a lot of sense if your moving internationally without a lot of junk to park like old cars Caravans and boat trailers.
Welcome to Australia. Enjoy and wear hats and plenty sunscreen 😎
Canada is growing at 1.1 million people a year so a much faster rate than Australia, housing problems are universal throughout all western nations at this point not just Australia. I would rather unaffordable housing and sunshine over unaffordable housing and snow

Hey Lottie, the sydney rail journeys are not $1, it shows as $1 if you tap with your debit card for the journey but once the charge goes from "pending" it will show the actual charge which is approx $4-$6 one way. The reason why its $1 on your card is its a temporary authorisation and once your journey is completed it will calculate what you should actually be charged.
Its approx $10-$12 return for me on my office days, don't be shocked when you see your bank statements!
Queensland is currently 50 cents per journey as a State incentive til End of February
@@downundabrotha and Melbourne gives free inner city transport.
But you can get from Sydney to Newcastle on the train (About the same distance from London to somewhere like Bristol) for waaaaaay cheaper than if you were to try and get a ticket the same day in the UK. It can cost up to 200 AUD for a trip like that in the UK!
This is correct. Nothing is $1. A train from Newtown to Circular Quay is $2.94 and that's one way. So return is almost $6 AUD.

Brits have always been the largest migrant group, ever since 1788. They don't get noticed because language and culture are so similar. There are waves, but even in the non-wave years, Brits are still arriving in large numbers. Many claim it is because of the weather, but the underlying biggest reason is that Australia is the land of opportunity, and starting a new life in which there is hope and people can dream of better days with room to grow.

More cultural difference between the two countries than most people think. A lot of Australians these days have at least some Asian ancestry and I think it has influenced the culture somewhat.

I moved to Queensland in 2008 from the UK. I have been to Tassie, Sydney, Melbourne, Much of the Queensland coast up to Port Douglas. Australia is far more diverse than the UK. Climates vary greatly and the way Aussies live varies depending where they live. Also the lifestyles vary and so does the cost of living. Prices vary a lot depending where you live. Anywhere quiet and more remote the food prices sky rocket. Depending upon what you want you will find here. From city life, the coast, the bush, tropical rainforests to desert, to the snowy alpine regions. It is all here. Do you want to go skiing in Mt perisher. Scuba dive the barrier reef. Endless summers in northern Queensland. The long cool temperate Tasmania.
I live on Brisbane's bayside. We have the city. Gold Coast with surfers paradise, all the theme parks, night life, tropical hinterland where I am a celebrity get me out of here was filmed. Warner bros studios are here so Hollywood film here a lot. Sunshine Coast is not far away. Billions spent on development there. Also we have the islands. These keep the bayside water calm and act as a water playground for boaties and jet skis, lounging on a catermeran. Plenty of bush walking trails and mountain bike trails to explore. You never get bored here. Love it.
As a migrant of 46 years. I think i would portray Aussie, better than the 'tacky'Gold Coast and their theme parks. OK if you have got kids i suppose. The only thing i miss, is the football. Aussies still think we give a rats a**e about the Ashes, and brainwash the public as such, Also rugby and Australian Rules (heaven forbid the most overrated game on earth) is rammed down our throats The Beautiful Game, is portayed as un Australian ,and the media, take a lot of trouble to denigrate it ,Soccer lovers be aware
@@paulgearing3018 What is meant by
"football" depends on whether you live. In NSW and Queensland, it's Rugby League. Everywhere else, it's Australian Rules. If you mean the round ball game, you have to say "soccer", and this code was and perhaps still is, most popular among Australia's post WW2 immigrant communities - Italians, Greeks, Serbs, Croatians, etc. Soccer is always supposed to become a popular code here, but this never really happens, and our best players inevitably finish up playing elsewhere, more particularly in Europe.
For over 25 years, I've worked with UK citizens on the Australian Working Holiday visa. It's no exaggeration to say that 98% of them want to stay much longer, often for the rest of their lives.

Yeah, nurses get paid around double here compared to the UK and I was shocked to see how little NHS staff are paid.
I was in hospital a few weeks ago for 10 days and around 90% of the nurses(female/male) were from The Republic of Ireland. It was a lot of fun, for a hospital at any rate. :)
I don't want to burst your bubble, but you're not paying $1 for the train/metro. That's a holding fee that your bank takes and then calculates the full fare later.
It might as well be that cheap just because the commute from Newtown to the city is so short.
Aye, the train is $2.94 for 0-10km off peak travel, and the bus is $2.24 for 0-3km but in normal commuting times it is $4.20 and $3.20. Brisbane does have 50c public transport travel though, the lucky bastards 😂

No those people are right. UK is just even worse.
A lot of the people coming over here are generally young enough where the problems we see as Aussies they will not encounter for a while. They generally share house, work hospitality or retail jobs or they go exploring.
When they settle down and look for a property or try and move up in their career is when they will encounter the problems.

Yes, trains are cheaper here because they are government-run (I believe they are privatised in the UK).
However, unless you are going to live in a smaller regional town, moving to Sydney/Melbourne to escape the cost of living crisis is like moving to Ukraine to escape war.
Speaking as a Sydney-sider, unless you are set with a really good job, you'd be lucky to find an affordable rental in Western Sydney...let alone afford the laid back Bondi lifestyle most Brits envision when they think of Australia.
well said, also everything else owned but some international business person so electricity, gas, roads, internet, food is a sht show
also trains are possibly the slowest in the world and unreliable (maybe dramatizing a little)
So true on Melb and Syd.
Um rail is privatised in Australia,in melb it's french owned
@@justinsullivan6410 Incorrect. Melbourne's rail infrastructure is owned by the Victorian government, while the trains are operated by 60% MTR, who are from Hong Kong and 20% Chinese (via John Holland, who is owned by China Communications Construction Company) and 20% UGL Rail (Australian). The fleet is currently mainly Chinese and French designed, but will eventually move to all French.
It’s worth keeping in mind that the AUD prices you’re mentioning are for Sydney, which is probably the most expensive place to live in Australia, although the other state capitals like Melbourne and Brisbane aren’t too far behind. But public transport in Sydney is far more reasonably priced than Melbourne. That said, when the honeymoon phase is over and you realise that there’s much more to Australia than Sydney, come to Melbourne or Brisbane or the Gold Coast. Polar opposites but both better lifestyles and have more soul than Sydney.
Another point of interest. An English woman I was talking to recently was saying her main reason for moving from the UK to Australia is because though she was single with no children, she felt that Australia is a far better place today to raise a family than the UK, especially London, and that is one of her near future goals.
Sydney has public transport?
Asking from Melbourne.
actually the most expensive capital if you exclude housing is Perth.
It seems to me that the decline in living standards in both countries is related to the implementation of neoliberal policies in both countries.
Australia should be a lot richer, the eastern states sits on seams of coal. The western state is on deposits of iron ore, with other minerals in between.
At the moment we have too much migration.
We’ve had the unfortunate luck that our natural resources are on shore and have been profited by a select few as opposed to a Norway whose resources were off shore and went to the state
Yes, "neoliberal" policies...
Not the fact that UK went from 35% government debt/gdp ratio in 2007 to 70% in 2010, 80% in 2014 and now sits at almost 100%.
Australia went from 0% in 2009 to 18% in 2016 and now sits at 44%.
Mass migration is one of our biggest problems. People can't afford to buy houses. Our population has grown by almost 50% in less than 25 years purely through mass migration

2 EXAMPLES:
1. Housing, yes , here is expensive, renting a whole apartment (2 bedrooms) in SA is 50% of a minimum wage. Now, in my country is at least 110% of our minimum wage!!
2. Food, Spaghetti 500g, here is 1 Aud. 0.03% of minimum wage, bro , again, in my country 0.5%, that’s a huge difference.
Yes, Aussies have the right to complain, but men, there are not too much countries outside where the situation is better. Not even the third world is cheaper.
Most Australians don't realise how good they have it. You'll hear lots of complaining. Thankyou for your perspective, you are 100% right.
@jvvoid My wife is a foreigner, Northern europe, and she returns home quite often to see her family, especially her neices and nephews. Every time she comes back to Australia and gets back into the swing of things ,daily life ,work chores etc she often says, I miss home and we should think about moving there. She has 17 years to compare it with how it was then and how it is now and she is completely right. All standards of living has slipped in Australia, even the wages despite everything else price wise sky-rocketing. I think the charm of this country gets people to fall in love with it and before too long your married to it and thinking, "Oh shit I gotta get out".
@@jvvoidI agree with you. I thank the Lord I live in Australia because I don't have a country to call home. Now Australia is my home now
Because we don't compare with 3rd world dump, Peru is even worse than most poor countries
You don’t compare with 3rd world but you enjoy saying “my holidays in Indonesia, Thailand, South America were SO CHEAP”. And it’s not like that if you compare with the national wages. Europe and USA? They are still worse. Maybe only Switzerland is better than Australia in certain ways and that’s it. Not even Nordic countries nowadays. You complain and compare but currently there is no other place where is better.
Anyone with abit of common sense is coming DOWN UNDER. Welcome to Australia, Mate. The beer is cold, the beaches are golden, the future is so bright we all wear sunglasses.
They are fleeing from countries without freedom of speech, like the UK. Wait, what? Australia is attempting to pass laws so what they can do what they do in the UK? Crap, now what?? Government: "Don't worry, it's for the children... cough cough" Australia is in dire straights and most Aussies are in denial. I'm an Aussie in Singapore, and Singapore is EXPENSIVE. I went back to Australia recently and the pricing isn't all that different. In fact, I can rent cheaper in SG than I can in Sydney access medical care in minutes and get a meal for $6, now that says something. Anyone with common sense is paying attention to the politicians who are totally taking the piss out of our country. They are overrunning the place with migrants and then pointing their fingers at the states to solve the problem. Aussies are demanding pay rises (understandably with cost of living) but they don't realise that literally all of their neighbours (except NZ) work for literally half the price, so we can't be an effective labour force. ATO has run most business out of town and the last of the big companies have cut special deals with the government because the politicians are investors of those companies. We don't make anything anymore, we don't really research anymore, we don't have uni in the top world uni's anymore. In fact, the top of our IQ chain is a tradie, hmmm... Small businesses are shutting down at an alarming rate because the risk isn't worth the cent's on the dollar in returns they 'might' get after the state and ATO finish with them. We don't tax the big companies and give most of the minerals away for free or next to free. We aren't building enough homes to support our swelling population, we also aren't upgrading core infrastructure like electricity, sewage, and public transport. We have privatised our main road systems with secrets deals so the average citizen has no idea what's going on. Cold beer is the best you've got? Oh wait, you might have a point there, hahaha. It might be the only way to enjoy falling off the cliff. Aussies need to demand accountability from their governments and get rid of the 'she'll be right mate, nothing we can do' mentality. We are in trouble and we have no-one to blame but ourselves because we keep voting them in.
There's already too many people here stay where the fuck you are. Australia doesn't even have Australians in it anymore
@@mikebennett744
It's not just the politicians mate.. it's the corporations that fund them.
Successive Aussie govts have legislated to make corporate takeovers easier, usually overseas conglomerates.. ur right though, they pay no tax.
@@baabaabaa-El Yep you are right. There should be far more controls in place regarding corporations and government. The unfortunate reality is that post government, these dudes need a job somewhere, so might as well make it a 7 figure job in return for some 'concessions'. I have an unpopular opinion that we don't pay our government tiers enough, and we have way too much government! Our prime minister should not be out looking for a job the second he leaves the top job. No wonder they do what they do. I may have mentioned in an earlier post I live overseas atm. The public servants here on average are paid A LOT more than Aussie PS are, and you can tell. They attract the brightest minds, are given clear mandates, and are held accountable (sacked) if they mandates are not met, simple. If Australia did this we would incentivize bright minds to get in and reduce waste (read cost), improve efficiency, and get paid properly while doing it. Our goal as a country should be to have clear mandates and expectations of our government, not just let them make up new ways to 'govern' us all the time, which costs money. I'm keen to see how the yanks go with what they are about to do, reduce government where it isn't needed.
@@mikebennett744 Yes, seems those wanting to come here have no idea what has been happening here for last 4 years. I arrived in 2005, and Australia had already peaked - marked by the Sydney Olympics. Since then it's been a been getting progressively worse with ever more draconian government, and the asset stripping corporations feasting on the carcass. Governments that are acting in complete opposition to the needs and wants of the population they purportedly serve (we know it's the other way around).
As an Aussie I encourage every Brit to seriously consider moving here! Please do come, we love you!
Im an Australian (duel actually) and 20 years ago when I was living in the UK everyone wpuld ask why are you living here? We have been trying to move over there for ages! So it's not new. My feeling on it it while you cannot beat the Aussie lifestyle - the UK - especially London seems like the capital of the world and Australia seems quite isolated. - so there is good and bad.
Yep London has fooball- Australia is waaaaaaay behind the rest of the world in sport Ironically Aussies think they are the sports champions of the world .Yes in sports that no one cares about, Take our cricket ,OMG Cricket hasn't been Englands national spot since 1948 Yet they think English cry in their beer, if we lose the Ashes. Most of the time English wouldn't even know the Ashes were in town. Take Australia and India out of the equasion ,and test cricket would be dead .Dont even start me on Australian Rules
A note on Sydney rail fares. The Newtown to city one way fare is about $3 (off peak) and $4 (peak).
Fares are capped daily at $18.70 (Mon-Thu) and $9.35 (Fri-Sun & Public Holidays).
Capped weekly (Mon-Sun) at $50.00.
A Cambridge to London equivalent journey would cost about $10 one way.
Australia was an incredible country but it's been very quickly declining over the last 10 years, particularly the last 4-5 years. High cost of living, both sides of politics have become highly authoritarian and increasingly intolerant of political dissent, and an insane amount of rules and regulations from the three levels of government. It's a nanny state essentially, particularly in the capital cities. Outside of the capital cities it's still quite good, and the scenery is majestic in places, but it's definitely not a country in the ascendancy phase.
"Australia was an incredible country but it's been very quickly declining over the last 10 years, particularly the last 4-5 years" you literally mentioned the window that was due to Covid.... Whether or not you believe its being a conspiracy.. It had a ww affect....
The cost of housing is the biggest problem. Not sure I agree with you about political dissent. It’s still a very robust democracy and I feel I can speak my mind about everything.
You've obviously never live through the early 90s recession
Fantastic video🔥🔥! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong??
Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence. It might also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced traders or do some research on different trading strategies.
If you are trading without a professional guide... Ah, I laugh, because you will stay where you are or even suffer huge losses that will prevent you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problems for new traders.

I’d welcome more Brits into Australia. Similar culture, same language and good sense of humour. Plus we could do with more rugby players.
Hello! Aussie person here.
Personally I’ve never met someone from the UK who I didn’t instantly like or get along with.
I’d love to settle down with a nice English girl someday, if I can find one. It’s expensive as shit, but it’s a wonderful country, and a great place to raise a family.
However, the dating scene is in tatters, since everybody is either already taken and a single girl is really hard to find.
We could use more UK girls around here, and I’m sure you’ll find it’s a completely different world down under
I'm a UK girl in Australia, holla at me :)
Australia has had the biggest decline in living standards in the developed world. Pretty soon it will be no better than the UK

Welcome to Sydney, I've migrated here from Europe 15 years ago and loving it.
I was visiting my family in London last year and it was the most expensive place I stopped at during my European trip
Happy to hear you’re still loving it in Sydney 🙌
In Brisbane all metro train, bus and ferry fares are FIFTY CENTS. You can train it from Gympie North to the Gold Coast for 50c. How long this lasts is anyone's guess, but it's glued on for the time being.
Interestingly, it was going to be free but interested parties wanted to keep a head count for future planning. (Cubic would of been useless as they run the ticketing system).
That was a last minute tactic by Stephen Marles to get re elected…..he was clutching at Straws…
They should probably bump it up to $1-$2. The problem with it being super cheap is that it takes people who were walking or riding bikes and jams them onto public transport, at which point overcrowding leads to more people driving.
Cheap is good though, but free or nearly free isn’t, especially during peak.
It's Brisbane tho, full of Sister- Aunty's & Uncle Cousins😂
@@andrewh.8403 Excellent policy decision to reduce transport fares. Well done Brisbane.
@@budawang77 it's working too . A big increase in patronage by day trippers and more commuters.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Glad that you decided to try living here. I came here 43 years ago and am still loving it.
I hate to burst your bubble, but you will need £500k to buy a cheap house and rental properties are just not available. The cost of living is high but probably comparable to the uk. Wait until after the crash to go at least the exchange rate be better assuming you have wads of cash sitting ready. :)

Glad to hear your story on TH-cam. It reminds me of my mum who migrated to Canada in 1961, and who almost ended up in Australia. When my uncle from England used to visit he was impressed with the larger homes, beautiful gardens and quality of life. Unfortunately these days too much migration has put everything under strain, so they have had to scale that back.
Unfortunately Mr Albinese seems intent on stopping free speech in Australia as well...

Brits please come here we welcome you
The train fare is actually $4.20 peak and about $3 off peak. That $1 that shows up after you tap with your phone is something more like a pre-authorisation on your credit card. It would be great if we had $1 trips - Brisbane is trialling 50c trips. Short train trips are typically more expensive than a short drive in Sydney, while long trips are cheaper. Overall the trains are not very expensive though. We don't have that cheaper-for-younger structure that Europe and the UK have either - over 18 is full fare unless a student.
Welcome, Lottie and partner.

To be honest, it's nice to have migrants who know and understand Australian culture. While it can be fun to introduce people who've lived a vastly different life to the local customs and attitudes and language (seeing them have a bit of a freak out can be funny), it can be tiring sometimes.
It's nice to have migrants who speak and understand English.
@@fleaniswerkhardt4647 that too. But I generally find most can speak and understand English, for the most part, but they don't understand Aussie slag and local idioms. For instance, one Colombian guy I was working with asked me what "pretty meant", because I said I was pretty good today. He was still learning English.
Don’t get fooled by the beauty of Australia, don’t get me wrong Aussies are the best people to be around with, however the system is broken, high level corruption, living standards going down the toilet, you will be working 50 hours a week just to pay for basics rent and food, forget buying a property, Australia used to be a lucky country, politicians destroyed it.

Don't blame them, I am leaving ASAP
Everyone you know? What, you only know ten people? But, regardless of your hyperbole, most who leave come back after a few years when they realise that the grass is not greener on the other side. I spent enough years working in various foreign countries to know that nowhere is as good as here. I have also lived in every Australian capital city except Canberra and Adelaide and believe that people would be far happier and better off financially if they lived in regional towns. Those who whinge about the high cost of housing here have unrealistic expectations because they are fixated on living in large cities. Unless you come here with a million dollars or to a $250,000 a year job, forget the big cities.
@@JohnMikhail-q8f 3rd world dumps which they try to pretend are paradises. Meanwhile they live in heavily polluted environments where you cant drink the water or walk down the street without getting run over and live on cheap unhealthy food because it is cheaper than Australia. If you go to these places you will see these expats sitting in sleazy bars drinking cheap booze and decrying the cost of living in a 1st world country. Then they die 20 years earlier than if they lived in expensive Australia generally from simple illnesses which would have cost them nothing to diagnose under the Australian health system.
You can live in either place and be happy or unhappy. I grew up in Brisbane, lived in London and Manchester for 10 years now live in Melbourne. I loved living in all places and then missed certain things about other cities after I left. I’m happy wherever I go but having the beach and sunshine does make a difference to me.
Netto, over 30K Australian citizens left Australia last year (financial 2022-23). That's proportionally not that much more than there are British citizens leaving the UK. Both countries are not doing well, at least according to the people born there.
Net immigration from the UK to Australia was 19K, about 3.5% of the total net migration to Australia. It is obviously mainly Asian immigrants that come to Australia. 14K from Thailand, 18K from Vietnam, 41K from Philippines, 72K from China and Hong Kong, and over 130K from India, Nepal and Bhutan.
Emigration from Australia is dominated by retiring foreigners who want to go home with their wealth and an Australian pension.

Good video, I hope you will update us after a year or so, especially regarding how you find Australian people and culture
A lot of Australians are trying to escape, us included. The great Australian Brain drain of professionals has been a problem for decades. Living in an affordable country town is like going back decades culturally, and some of them a two days drive from major cities, not just a couple hours like the UK. Anyone thinking they are coming to Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney for cheaper more affordable living compared to the UK is in for a massive shock. Gang crimes, unemployment and drugs are a problem now in both capitals and regional towns.
Like in ALL cities around the world. Safer than alot of places.
The right question if there is a major difference in living cost and lifestyle, is why is there a difference, and then how do we in Australia keep it moving in the right direction.
Australia feels like Shanghai or Mumbai these days … most of the immigrants in recent years coming from these two countries …
Bring all your friends, please have a wonderful adventure
This is the first time I have heard someone say that Sydney is affordable 😅
It’s not costing you $1. That’s just the nominal amount charged to the card and is adjusted to the actual charge once your journey is completed.
People are moving out of australia because its not liveable there any more
While I accept that things are probably in a better position on the whole right now, it won't be for long especially given the current trajectory of the cost of living over here. As an example the houses here are so very expensive comparative to wages that the average person can barely afford even rent (let alone to buy) without 2 people working full time due to the critical shortfall in housing and if you don't live in the cities which are expensive, you need to spend the maintenance on a vehicle just to get around anywhere.
Sure it's not the worst in the world but I think you're overselling it, and with a mass migration it's just going to drive the prices up even higher to make it even more unaffordable for those of us trying to get by.
Most people i know who have recently emigrated to Aus from the uk now wish they hadnt. Admittedly they hadnt considered the Starmer train wreck in their calculations.

Going to T$ump's fool's paradise, eh? 😅🤢
Don’t worry you will start complaining about the cost of living once you’ve acclimatised and had to deal with the cost of accommodation but…… we speak English (kind of), the sun does shine (mostly), when it rains it pisses down and it is safe’ish for the most part (let’s not mention England’s crises at the moment). Keep in mind Australia has a lot of creatures that can bite you or eat you or at least annoy you, but you can navigate or avoid those dangers.

You don't know how fast Britain falling.
Traffic is getting worse with backlog .While things like car pooling is becoming more rare
Not sure you exactly correct here. Seems more like for most people, the main reason your leaving is because of all the migrants in the UK. So rather than solve that, you all want to migrate her and introduce similar problems in regards to housing and employment shortages... doesn't make sense. Fix the problems in the UK rather than bring them here.
And the cost of living in Australia is one of the highest in the world. So that makes no sense to come here for that reason.
Your train ticket excuse, wrong. I spend $74 a week commuting to work. So basically the same.
Wages aren't increasing here either. And the tiny 70p difference and the face it costs more to live here, seems like your breaking even.
I just think its more about running away from the problems in the UK than moving for any other real reasons.
I lived in Australia for 9 years. 8 years in Sydney and 1 year in Melbourne and just relocated back to the UK. I’m far more qualified than the person in this video to comment on this. Sydney and Melbourne are on par with London in terms of cost of living, and thus more expensive than cheaper parts of the UK.
Illegible? Also you did not say how much it is to rent a house in Sydney. Probably for a reason.
