@@11universita7 Not for people of color, I saw videos on social media of black/African people crying and having mental breakdown because they feel socially isolated in Canada because of racism. It might be a better place for white people but other ethnic groups suffer there sadly
I’m from Ukraine, living in USA for 15 years, currently in Australia as tourist. Australia is much better than USA, cheaper, cleaner, safer, you guys live in paradise and still complain all the time. Move to other country and try to live there, then you can say what walk in the park and what is everyday nightmare.
i was born in Australia, i have seen racism everywhere, but for me the amount of violence is crazy, crime is out of control, most Aussie just pretend everything is fine but its far from fine, i lived 45 years in Australia served in the Army in the 70s, the hatred towards any one in uniform was also crazy, now living in se asia where very safe to live
Correct, until the last decade or so, home invasions and car jackings were pretty much unheard of in Australia, these days it appears they're an every day occurrence , also the justice system has become overly politicized with certain agendas.
@@ghassanjneinaty4421 as a third generation Australian who lived in Australia for 4 decades and who's also lived in multiple other countries, I have to say Aussies are intitially friendly in general but also generally pretty socially political in comparison, especially where so many people are related to on another, but not necessarily all over the country, it's location dependant.
Absolutely right. Most people are self centred and they can treat you like insects. They can destroy your life. Be cautious and have right people around you.
@@AgentAO7 It is. The landscape, the scenery, and the wildlife all make it worthwhile to go visit. The people living there ensure that while its great to visit. You definitely don't want to over stay your welcome.
That's funny being Aussie first nations I don't find this and frankly I think you guys are only telling half truths. If you come to Australia most Aussies expect that you don't rape kids,don't scam our elderly, if your not a confident driver don't drive, learn the road rules,don't rape our woman, learn English and speak it, all I'm seeing is a pack of victims that I bet didn't even try to mingle but yet expect it. Only we are in control of our own destiny...
Can depend where you are I imagine for making friends. Sydney is easier than Perth for instance. It can take time and is effort for everyone. So yeh maybe that is actually a thing. But there's heaps of opportunities... Just depends if you bother or not
@vishalmalik0519 Australia is the best compared to a lot of other couture, I'd never live in places like , America, Thailand, , China , Canada , South or North Korea India , Mexico and many more
@vishalmalik0519 I can confirm what been said. I lived in Italy, Spain, France, Mexico, Canada, Argentina, and Korea. The quality of life is amazing in Australia (only Canada gets close to it but the weather and the mass immigration are ruining it). Said so, I agree, it is very expensive but the average salary is way higher than Canada and working balance is way better.
@vishalmalik0519 yes I agree with you indeed. Canada has already reached the limit of unbearable. They are both beautiful and not perfect at all, but there is not much better. I am not sure what is the best country? Reality no paradise on earth and I hope australia will get better
@vishalmalik0519 The major issue is that we are importing the 3rd world who want to make this country like the 3rd world. This needs to cease and immigration focused on migrants from 1st world countries.
I've been living in Melbourne for 15 years now. I wouldn't want to be in any other city. Australia has given me the opportunity to create my perfect life. I'm so grateful to be living in such an amazing country. I haven't experienced any racism nor any of the so called problems you have mentioned in the video. Sorry, best country to be living in and I've travelled the world many times over. It still is the lucky country ☺
Good & Bad one finds in every country. If you don’t like living in Australia “LEAVE.” Find somewhere but you will never be content anywhere because you are a “WHINGER.”

I'm American, and I love Australia. Such a beautiful and fun country. Well worth every minute of the 15 hour flight down from California. Thanks for the great vacation, Australia. Enjoyed Brisbane, Sydney, and of course, Melbourne.
I am a descendant of convict - on my maternal side - on the First Fleet. His name Noel Cavanaugh, and he rowed the boat that carried Captain Arthur Phillip ashore. For the next four years of his life, he was in servitude: and on two occasions was brutally beaten for some type of misdemeanor. Before completing his sentence, he married the daughter of a free settler and worked on farms busting his arse from sunrise to dusk - AS, INDEED, IT WAS THE CASE WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER PERSON, EITHER FREE OR IN SERVITUDE. His granddaughter informed us that her grandfather worked at least 50 hours a week to make ends meet. As for the (extended) paternal side of my family, they came from Scotland over a 15-month period from the end of 1921. Nearly all of the menfolk were dispatched to the Lithgow area to work in the coal mines. All up, between 1922, and 1964, 17 members of the Meek clan toiled under atrocious conditions, with low wages in those dreadful coal mines. As it transpires, not ONE of those 17 men lived past 61 - the average age of death for them was 57 years of age - from Black Lung type diseases. With regards to my dad, his father walked out on my nana when she was 7 months pregnant - dad was born in May 1924. My nan worked six days a week as a seamstress in a couple of factories around Sydney. Luckily, her family, the Meeks, allowed her and dad to lodge at their abodes. Dad told me that they were so poor that - as, indeed, it was for majority of people in Australia, too - he never had more than three changes of clothes, and only one pair of shoes, and also a pair of sandals from the time he went to school at five years of age, until he got a job working 8 hours a day on Saturdays in a cotton mill at the age of 12, to earn a few bob. The point of telling you this, you low-life dog doing the commentary is that Australia - as it also is for NZ, the US, and Canada - became the great societies they did as a DIRECT RESULT of people who arrive from here, there and everywhere and worked their ARSES OFF to build those societies. Alas, we have maggot scum like this piece of guilt-ridden and self-hating piece of white crap castigating my ilk as being virulent racists, who invaded the land and dispossessed the indigenous people. However, it’s an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that you would be an advocate of open-borders in western lands to permit all and sundry arriving: in order to eradicate those horrible evil white folks. Furthermore, you dog, it’s also an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that, you would have never condemned the insane Islamic fundamentalists, who callously slaughter 530 innocent people in Britain and Europe from April 2004, in the Atocha bombings - and in London in July 2005, and all the way through to Sir David Amess in July 2021: all in the name of Allah. Similarly, you’d say nothing about the rampant/out of control gang wars occurring in Britain (overwhelmingly) between those of black African heritage. With respect to Australia and the IMMENSE damage that non-Anglo/European immigrants have brought to bear upon Australia irrefutably prevails with drug gangs. For instance, the scourge of heroin comes as a direct result of Vietnamese drug gangs importing and distributing it here in Oz. Similarly, the cocaine, and ice and other amphetamines/synthetic substances that have destroyed society are ALL the DIRECT RESULT of Middle Eastern and Chinese drug cartels. So, if it’s all good and proper that Anglo/Celtic and blonde Europeans have to lay down and beg forgiveness for the sins of our forebears then, why pray tell, shouldn’t the Vietnamese, Chinese, and those from the Middle East, seek forgiveness for the sins of their kin? And, don’t ever forget that, the overwhelming cause of the enormous sociological upheavals encumbering the country over the past 40 years can be all traced back to drugs. What I would really love to see happen to you conducting this shit-canning of Australia, is for you to meet the same fate, at the hands of Islamic fundamentalists, as did Drummer Rigby, in 2013. Whilst that extremely unlikely to occur the next best thing I wish would happen to you is to become severly incapacitated from an accident!!!
Well isn’t that true anywhere if you are either unemployed or broke? Please let me know if you ever find a place where I can live comfortably without having to work.
I agree with some points in this video, but the point on racism is just not true, Australia has welcomed many people from various nations and is very multicultural , this would not happen if it was a racist country. Also indigenous Australians are over represented in custody because they are over represented in transgressing the law, to imply there is some sort of vendetta against them is total garbage.
That reasoning would seem fine if Aboriginals were a migrant or a white Australian living a white dominated society and if they had no heavy baggage hanging over their heads, like their ancestors being slaughtered by white people and children stolen from their families. Living in the place of your ancestors but is now dominated by the culture of your invaders where you feel more like a foreigner. A place where everyday you are discriminated and while in incarceration subject to abuse.
I arrived in Australia 52 Years ago, born in Germany. At no time in my life was I the subject of racism, I spent the next 30 Years working on my qualification parallel to holding a Job. I have never been unemployed and held a managerial position for at least 25 years. All the problems in that Vidio originate because some people don't put enough effort into integrating into the Australian way of life. of course, we have our problems, but there is no country without problems. however, you get back what you put in. Australia is still the best country for me even if the bloody Labor Party is hell bend to stuff it all up.
yes the politicians are very substandard these days , ignorant, greedy and selfish all worrying about their investment properties. They are running the country into the ground. Out of touch with ordinary Australians.It used to be a good country.
I'm a Australian/German My mother's side are all German born and moved to Australia. For me growing up as a kid I never had any issues with making friends with both men and women, Australia's biggest problem is a lot of people are very Narcissistic and it's making Australia look very very bad . This would be the biggest reason why a person would find it hard making friends. Let's be honest everyone hates that Narcissistic rage with people it's killing Australia 🇦🇺
I've been living in Australia for 6 years and it's the hardest thing I've ever done. I have met nice and welcoming Australians but most are deeply convinced that everyone thinks for themselves, they know they have a discriminatory advantage against those who are not Australian and they always exploit it to a great extent. this widespread attitude makes it really difficult to have a dignified life for those who are not included in their society
I had melanoma. I was cactus. With excellent care and treatment I recovered. It would have cost hundreds of thousands but I didn't have to pay a cent.@@libatalklieb5793
Private health insurance is not compulsory. If one cannot afford it, one can go without, and the public health system will take care of you. Sure, you may need to queue up if the illness is not life-threatening. If it is, you will be put into the head of the queue. If you don't want to wait in a queue, you can go to a private hospital but you'll need to pay, or your insurance company will pay a major portion and you pay an excess (depending on the terms and conditions of your insurance contract). Fair enough I suppose.
This video is like what someone would make up about Australia if they have never lived or been here. The racism thing always gets me, Asians and Africans queuing up to come here. Few years back the Indian media went wild over the alleged racist treatment of Indian students in Australia, turned out it was other Indians who were doing it.
The attacks against the Indian students were not caused by other "Indians". Take as an example the Indian student who was stabbed 11 times has a western name. Not sure where the attacker is from.
There are white migrants coming from European countries too,even American countries...I wonder why u only picked Africa & Asia...That's exactly what that video is talking about 😅
There's only THREE things I HATE about my country. 1. Too many flies 2. Too many venomous snakes (and crocs in the north) 3. Still has a BRITISH Head of State instead of our own , making the country I love still essentially just a self governing British Dominion or as we are known officially a Commonwealth REALM of the British Crown with all the colonial trimmings of British ensigns for national and state flags , "Royal" this and that , Crowns on military and police insignia HMas designated naval ships etc etc. Absolutely ridiculous and unpatriotic in the 21st century!
@@Cassandra-dl3bf Australia is a very multicultural country where over 30 percent of the population was born overseas. The video is basically a load of crap, no surprise this completely ignorant stuff comes from an American who has never visited the country. You wont have any issues. One of my neighbours is a Singaporean and refuses to go back even for a visit.
@@Cassandra-dl3bf We are going to take the piss out of you and probably give you a nickname if we like you. Nothing personal, we do it to each other and everyone else constantly. And if you think someone is swearing at you most often they are not because Australians speak that way. Do not be afraid to ask for help, most Aussies will oblige.
I am so glad / relieved to see someone mention the prevalent and insidious racism. One of the saddest things to see tis hat there is a "pecking order" ... even recent arrivals treated badly seem to be willing to look down on indigenous people. That some do not / cannot see it reflects so-called "colour blindness". I have to agree it is NOT as evident as it was when I was young; perhaps it is merely more covert.
Many of the immigrants to Australia are the worst racists. Especially to wards the indigenous people and even towards other cultures and calling Australians "white-ties" saying were are all criminals from convicts, and inferior to them, so don't blame Australians.
37 years, aus born and raised. Life was good 20 years ago. Can't keep up anymore, can't wait to leave to SE asia, pretty much neally all my friends left to cheaper parts of the country or overseas.
I have lived here in Australia for 40years now and not once have I felt the need to take out private insurance. as of 2024 the average wage is $73,800 (38,000 pounds) Travel in Victoria (nearly the size of the UK) is now capped at $9.20 (full fare) or $4.60 (concession) per weekday. This is the maximum daily cost of travelling anywhere in Victoria. No matter your destination. (thats 4 pounds 75p) Can you travel from John O'Groats to Landsend for this price? NO!!! the cheapest is 360pounds, I would pay just $9.20 for the same trip, less than 5 pounds.
The smartest thing that should be on everyone's mind right now should be to invest in different streams of income that are not dependent on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver, and digital currencies (BTC ETH...).
Same here all thanks to Mrs Charlotte Junko Walsh , she has always been there to guide me through with det@ils an@lysis and recommendations that I wouldn't have access to otherwise.
Compare an Australian public hospital and an American. Any citizen or resident can walk into any publicl hospital and get treatment, whatever it takes for their condition. And walk out cured or have an out-patients program at NO COST!, Try that in the USA. If a patient presents with symptoms that suggest stroke or cardiac problems there are straight onto the 'magic carpet' to immediate and superb care. Larger hospitals have 24 hour imaging (CT, MRI, Xray) and pathology...surgery too if necessary. Also Australia does have a public-private composite system. Most private hospitals are good, but not a patch on the major 'tertiary referral' hospitals where there are on-tap senior consultants. Patients in Local or Community hospitals who need urgent care are provided aero-medical transfers AT NO COST to the relevant TRH. There is a permanent aero-medical transfer centre that coordinate this. Try that in the USA!
🤔im an Australian my background is pacific islander and ive been here for almost 50 years, ive never witnessed racism except from my own race. Some of this is far fetched. I make lots of friends from different ethnicities. Animals dangerous really, not even true.
How to tell a video about Australia might not be 100% accurate: Mentions "Dangerous Animals" and not once comments on the murderous swooping chickens. 😂
I found this clip so untrue. on the contrary there are so much improvement in most areas this clip talked-about since I immigrated to Aus over 30 years ago.
I was born in Australia, as a child and teenager I was often called names and told to go back to my country , hell, I friggen live here, I got over it , and so should everyone
@@cooper7031 and anywhere else in the world. Try to be foreigners in Asia or Europe. Besides, cost of living is on the rise literally everywhere. Australia is indeed a great country.
I’m an Aussie married to a Singaporean. Never once has my wife experienced any form of racism in Australia. On the other hand as a couple traveling around south east Asia we have had many filthy comments thrown at us.
I've been living in Sydney Australia for just over 40 years. I'd like to comment on two points. [a] Hard to make friends: I think it is up to the individual to be proactive to make friends in Australia. OK, it will take a bit of time, but I find Aussies easy to start a conversation in sports, so try to learn a bit about cricket, tennis, AFL...etc. Once you break the ice, it's not hard to carry onto something else, and friendship flourishes. [b] Racism: I have perhaps experienced once or twice "racist" remarks over 40 years, and that was in the early years when I first migrated to Australia. Thereafter, none. Personally I may even say I experienced "reverse racism" as I had been promoted really fast at work, even ahead of white local people (I'm Asian). This happened a few times in different multi-international companies so I won't attribute my fast promotions to pure luck. There may still be Aussies who believe in the "White Australian policy" but they are now few and far between. I do not know too much about racism against local Aboriginal people, but there are plenty of government policies which favour the original people of the land. And it is illegal to discriminate on racial grounds. So if you suffer from racial discrimination, there are avenues to seek redress.
Does not sound like the utopia Australians would like Americans to believe it is. They always argue with us with how they are so much better. I beg to differ. Nothing there I want to see.
Haha now this is ridiculous. I have spent time in both countries and Australia has best to no gun crime, Homelessness or sickening drug problem that is riddled in America!
Backstreets light is showing as all the Glam at the moment I want to see the backstreets edit it every city in town’s garden so where’s yours thank you
8:45 Which countries are you talking about that don’t offer Private Health Insurance? And if you’re on a low income in Australia you don’t need to pay for PHI. So what does other countries lack of Insurance have to do with Australia. We have MEDICARE, it takes care of every citizen, regardless of whether you pay for Private Insurance or not. This video is complete MISINFORMATION.
Wow is this a video to slate Australia and purposely put anyone off from visiting let alone living there?! Can’t believe how negative everything was about it. I visited Australia for 3 months back in the early nineties and all I can say is how wonderful and welcoming everyone was. We started in Perth and made our way across to the east. Each city seemed dated back then but charming and had so much to offer. It’s a majorly diverse country with so many cultures. The cuisine was incredible. I loved the coffee shops especially. Anyhew, this video made me angry even though I haven’t been back to Auzzie I certainly would despite this awful and misleading video. Please don’t be put off if you’re thinking of going there. Yes it’s a long way but so worth it!
As the population increased Australians went through a great honeymoon stage in the 80,90, and 2000s. But as the relationship faded and the reality of overcrowding, loss of lifestyle, expensive cost of living, financial inequality, homelessness and unaffordable housing, etc the relationship for many Australians has soured. We have governments that think big is better and a population that thinks smaller is best. Yes we are by inlarge, racist background, even the millions of immigrants are racist against each other. But all this is not only an Australian thing, it is the same in most countries throughout the world.

Undoubtedly it's one of the most beautiful countries (NATURALLY 😅speaking). So many beautiful places to visit, breathtaking landscapes and views (that's true) and so on .... But when it comes to strike up friendships is a real-life nightmare. It's not the Australian dream like 20y ago, it's not the El Dorado anymore, yet besides everything in terms of creating your tailor-made life is still on top. Anyway ,if you're looking for a truly-deep-relashionship/friendship country then Australia is not right for you. No offense guys, but if you're mostly basing your life on money or careers neglecting the social and friendship aspect......
@vishalmalik0519 Yes, please go on. As I don't think you have made your point. The Swedish legal system is strange to say the least. It allows heresy evidence. So give ne Australia over Sweden any day. Norway allows whaling, despite huge international opposition. Denmark is pretty good and will get better thanks to it's Tasmanian princess.
@vishalmalik0519 No country is perfect. It's healthy to see faults in your country. Australia has plenty of problems. Look at all the damage caused by land clearing, using European farming methods, planting of rice and cotton in drought prone areas, introducing invasive species such as the Indian. Mynahs bird, rabbit, cane toads ecta, ecta. Then there was the treatmentof the indigenouspeopleand of course how we gave independence to PNG and Nauru fsr, far too early. Oh and I don't like the killer heateaves, droughts and bushfires. Oh and huntsmen should become extinct. Lol. I am not a fan of the Liberals or Labor. But I do like how we use the Wash-minster system. I do like that we are a multi-party liberal democracy, that we have good health care, that we abolished the death penalty ecta. The uppercoming Voice Refurrendum will be a step forward for our indigenous people
I have a male relative who is a musician, that travels around the world. I remember him telling me about a time he experienced racism while visiting Australia.
Government policy and practices have directly contributed to the high cost of living, housing, medical care and pathetic internet. There seems to be very little political interest in fixing anything as many politicians directly benefit from the current system. Australia does have excellent public health services although the gov is doing its best to tank that system too. Don't worry about the wild animals, you rarely if ever see them in the cities.
My long term friend from high school wants,nothing to do with me I had girl magazines under my bed my parents saw no problem but he still has a problem with that I'm now 63 he is 62 years old
It is like someone reposted a video made 15 years ago.. half of these points are simply falls. The high cost of living is extremely true though, since Covid wages didnt grow, costs grew 50-100%
I struggled to watch this nonsense to the end. Australia is not perfect, and i could give plenty of examples, but most of the items in this clip are from certain people pushing their own agenda. The one good thing is that this might keep a lot of ill informed people away. Australians can keep this amazing country to ourselves. Yippie.
I don't intend to visit Austrália anytime in my life. It's very far from where I live and I don't like meeting racist people. It's not worthy the trip.

And, don’t ever forget that, the overwhelming cause of the enormous sociological upheavals encumbering the country over the past 40 years can be all traced back to drugs. What I would really love to see happen to you conducting this shit-canning of Australia, is for you to meet the same fate, at the hands of Islamic fundamentalists, as did Drummer Rigby, in 2013. Whilst that extremely unlikely to occur the next best thing I wish would happen to you is to become severly incapacitated from an accident!!!
Regarding Friends in Australia. I guess it depends on how a person engages themselves. If a person gets themselves involved in community activities such as sports, you'll definitely make many, many friends. I've experienced it while I schooled there. Today, I still communicate with them via FB While I live in Papua new Guinea. I have plans to migrate to Australia soon. 😁👍 Commenting from Papua new Guinea South Pacific.🇵🇬
I agree Australia does have a dark side. The idea that everyone’s goal should be to own a house and block of land is something from a bygone era. Suburbia is like being buried alive here unless you have a large family and a car. Not everyone wants or has a large family and a car. The only real liveable places in Australia are on the coast or cooler areas of Australia like the mountains and places with cooler temperatures. It is just too hot depending on where you live. People here tend to live in ghettos based on nationality and income stream which cause polarisation and racist attitudes. People become locked into their own circle for protective reasons. Also not every State is the same. Laws will vary from each state to the other as well cultural values. Places like Darwin have a completely different cultural mix than say Victoria or Melbourne or Sydney. Certain groups get on better with each other than others and you have post code wars. If you come here as a visitor or to live, best be flexible and find a group that shares your views and interests because not everyone wants to be your friend. Currently things are changing rapidly due to political issues and problems around the world.
Don't believe everything you see or hear on the internet Charles, not even me. Just come and see for yourself. You might be surprised to learn why so many people come for a short stopover but then decide to stay.
@@rogersampaio7450 If you're only interested in professional/money life then come here, but if you also want a social life and build close loving relationships then it won't work here. People are too distance from each other because of the busy work life and a lot of relationships fall apart because of it, it's best you do your research properly before coming. Being a black person you're at a higher risk of suffering social isolation and discrimination because racism is a big problem here.

If you lucky eniugh to make friends it will last only a year maybe because Aussies are moving around a lot. They move to an other city. Cities are 1000 km apart, so to keep up with the friendship is impossibly expensive. And here comes the isolation again and again unless you have a big family.
We've been here 50 years and never found anything particularly difficult. It's called the lucky country because the harder you work, the luckier you get.
It’s funny bc the few Aussies I’ve met here in Canada don’t seem racist and appreciate the multiculturalism in Toronto… didn’t know racism was so common there 😢
Ah, that explains the huge number of migrants from the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Pacific who stream in to the country. Must be a terrible place.
Except a bit of truth about cost of living (specifically post-COVID) - I must say this VDO is way too exaggerated or completely misleading. Specifically racism & healthcare. A bit of a racism is everywhere incl. Asian countries. Australia is way too better compared to USA and many EU countries. I am Asian and would say this is possibly the best country to live in. Healthcare: basically the healthcare is FREE. Private insurance is purely an OPTION. When comparing with the “hell”ish kinda of healthcare system in USA - Australian healthcare system is actually a heaven. I suggest people should stop making such VDOs which are way far from reality.
Im australian and its good in many ways but people are a bit backward and its true making good friends after education age can be hard unless you are into sport. People can be too critical of each other
Australian education system used to be good now its in decline and going to crap you have to go to a private school to get educated or escape the wokism political correctness and genderism which has hijacked in public schools.
I doubt that the person who made this video has been to Australia, or if so, has been to a limited number of locations and over a brief period of time.
Whatever Australians do I pray they don't let the evil that's taken over our healthcare take there's. The war on opioids Is to dismantle medicine and leave people suffering who need meds!! Don't let this nightmare happen in your country!
Been in Australia for Alamos half of my life . Racism comes from non Aussies usually. Mainly from Indians. Not to mention the cost of living , housing crisis and no jobs.
There is nothing wrong with Australia. It's a wonderful country. Have a good life. Also racism is the dark reality in Australia. I've faced racism in Australia.
Who ever made this I’d say they don’t live in Australia and I disagree Australia is not a racist country and if you live in the city yes it can be hard to make friends but you have to try a little bit hard but if you live in a country town that can be a little bit easier to make friends and one other thing People have been coming to live in Australia for a long time and don’t believe everything you hear on this
I prefer privacy, happy to be a social bee out and about but my pad is my retreat not a social centre for the street as with everything else?? Money in Oz buys just like anywhere else on this planet. Been in the joint 50 years and it beats many places easy, only Bali tops Oz
Health insurance is expensive, but what isn’t acknowledged in this video is the majority of people don’t have private health insurance because the excellent and free public health care system in Australia means they don’t need it…. Ok, it has been a tad strained of late, and it doesn’t include everything, so if it’s dental you’re wanting you’ll need to sell your first born into slavery to afford it, but medical is sorted. Private health care isn’t big, meaning when you’re sick it’s best to avoid private hospitals - the food and the room might be better but all the doctors and all the expertise are up the road working in the much bigger and better equiped public hospitals. We’ve problems a plenty but this totally misrepresents the healthcare situation in Australia, it’s not the US!
A few valid points but a great deal of crap too. Ive lived here 54 years coming here as a boy from England. I wouldnt live anywhere else. The comment about racism is also overstated. We are a mulicultural nation and welcome people here, believing in a fair go for all. As for dangerous wildlife a person just has to be careful of their surroundings. Cost of living is high like many other countries at this point in time.
We were welcoming ! sadly a bit too welcoming! as some recent arrivals want to turn Australia into the same shit holes they left to have a better life here!
As an Aussie some of this shocked me but I agree with it all. It’s beautiful but it definitely isn’t a walk in the park. You’ll learn a lot

Can depend where you are I imagine for making friends. Sydney is easier than Perth for instance. It can take time and is effort for everyone. So yeh maybe that is actually a thing. But there's heaps of opportunities... Just depends if you bother or not

As an Australian, I can advice outsiders to ignore the whining of my butthurt fellow Australians. Yes, we *_do_* have these problems.
As an American, we have the same issues. The negative stuff always gets amplified by social media.
I am a descendant of convict - on my maternal side - on the First Fleet. His name Noel Cavanaugh, and he rowed the boat that carried Captain Arthur Phillip ashore. For the next four years of his life, he was in servitude: and on two occasions was brutally beaten for some type of misdemeanor. Before completing his sentence, he married the daughter of a free settler and worked on farms busting his arse from sunrise to dusk - AS, INDEED, IT WAS THE CASE WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER PERSON, EITHER FREE OR IN SERVITUDE. His granddaughter informed us that her grandfather worked at least 50 hours a week to make ends meet.
As for the (extended) paternal side of my family, they came from Scotland over a 15-month period from the end of 1921. Nearly all of the menfolk were dispatched to the Lithgow area to work in the coal mines. All up, between 1922, and 1964, 17 members of the Meek clan toiled under atrocious conditions, with low wages in those dreadful coal mines. As it transpires, not ONE of those 17 men lived past 61 - the average age of death for them was 57 years of age - from Black Lung type diseases.
With regards to my dad, his father walked out on my nana when she was 7 months pregnant - dad was born in May 1924. My nan worked six days a week as a seamstress in a couple of factories around Sydney. Luckily, her family, the Meeks, allowed her and dad to lodge at their abodes. Dad told me that they were so poor that - as, indeed, it was for majority of people in Australia, too - he never had more than three changes of clothes, and only one pair of shoes, and also a pair of sandals from the time he went to school at five years of age, until he got a job working 8 hours a day on Saturdays in a cotton mill at the age of 12, to earn a few bob.
The point of telling you this, you low-life dog doing the commentary is that Australia - as it also is for NZ, the US, and Canada - became the great societies they did as a DIRECT RESULT of people who arrive from here, there and everywhere and worked their ARSES OFF to build those societies. Alas, we have maggot scum like this piece of guilt-ridden and self-hating piece of white crap castigating my ilk as being virulent racists, who invaded the land and dispossessed the indigenous people.
However, it’s an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that you would be an advocate of open-borders in western lands to permit all and sundry arriving: in order to eradicate those horrible evil white folks. Furthermore, you dog, it’s also an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that, you would have never condemned the insane Islamic fundamentalists, who callously slaughter 530 innocent people in Britain and Europe from April 2004, in the Atocha bombings - and in London in July 2005, and all the way through to Sir David Amess in July 2021: all in the name of Allah.
Similarly, you’d say nothing about the rampant/out of control gang wars occurring in Britain (overwhelmingly) between those of black African heritage.
With respect to Australia and the IMMENSE damage that non-Anglo/European immigrants have brought to bear upon Australia irrefutably prevails with drug gangs. For instance, the scourge of heroin comes as a direct result of Vietnamese drug gangs importing and distributing it here in Oz. Similarly, the cocaine, and ice and other amphetamines/synthetic substances that have destroyed society are ALL the DIRECT RESULT of Middle Eastern and Chinese drug cartels.
So, if it’s all good and proper that Anglo/Celtic and blonde Europeans have to lay down and beg forgiveness for the sins of our forebears then, why pray tell, shouldn’t the Vietnamese, Chinese, and those from the Middle East, seek forgiveness for the sins of their kin? And, don’t ever forget that, the overwhelming cause of the enormous sociological upheavals encumbering the country over the past 40 years can be all traced back to drugs.

I agree with some points in this video, but the point on racism is just not true, Australia has welcomed many people from various nations and is very multicultural , this would not happen if it was a racist country. Also indigenous Australians are over represented in custody because they are over represented in transgressing the law, to imply there is some sort of vendetta against them is total garbage.
That reasoning would seem fine if Aboriginals were a migrant or a white Australian living a white dominated society and if they had no heavy baggage hanging over their heads, like their ancestors being slaughtered by white people and children stolen from their families. Living in the place of your ancestors but is now dominated by the culture of your invaders where you feel more like a foreigner. A place where everyday you are discriminated and while in incarceration subject to abuse.
The Cronulla riots would disagree with you there. So would the aboriginal "yes" campaign.
I arrived in Australia 52 Years ago, born in Germany. At no time in my life was I the subject of racism, I spent the next 30 Years working on my qualification parallel to holding a Job. I have never been unemployed and held a managerial position for at least 25 years. All the problems in that Vidio originate because some people don't put enough effort into integrating into the Australian way of life. of course, we have our problems, but there is no country without problems. however, you get back what you put in. Australia is still the best country for me even if the bloody Labor Party is hell bend to stuff it all up.

Private health insurance is not compulsory. If one cannot afford it, one can go without, and the public health system will take care of you. Sure, you may need to queue up if the illness is not life-threatening. If it is, you will be put into the head of the queue. If you don't want to wait in a queue, you can go to a private hospital but you'll need to pay, or your insurance company will pay a major portion and you pay an excess (depending on the terms and conditions of your insurance contract). Fair enough I suppose.

I have lived here in Australia for 40years now and not once have I felt the need to take out private insurance. as of 2024 the average wage is $73,800 (38,000 pounds) Travel in Victoria (nearly the size of the UK) is now capped at $9.20 (full fare) or $4.60 (concession) per weekday. This is the maximum daily cost of travelling anywhere in Victoria. No matter your destination. (thats 4 pounds 75p) Can you travel from John O'Groats to Landsend for this price? NO!!! the cheapest is 360pounds, I would pay just $9.20 for the same trip, less than 5 pounds.
The smartest thing that should be on everyone's mind right now should be to invest in different streams of income that are not dependent on the government.

Heath Care Is not true ? What Place do you live in.
Compare an Australian public hospital and an American. Any citizen or resident can walk into any publicl hospital and get treatment, whatever it takes for their condition. And walk out cured or have an out-patients program at NO COST!, Try that in the USA. If a patient presents with symptoms that suggest stroke or cardiac problems there are straight onto the 'magic carpet' to immediate and superb care. Larger hospitals have 24 hour imaging (CT, MRI, Xray) and pathology...surgery too if necessary.
Also Australia does have a public-private composite system. Most private hospitals are good, but not a patch on the major 'tertiary referral' hospitals where there are on-tap senior consultants. Patients in Local or Community hospitals who need urgent care are provided aero-medical transfers AT NO COST to the relevant TRH. There is a permanent aero-medical transfer centre that coordinate this. Try that in the USA!

I was born in Australia, as a child and teenager I was often called names and told to go back to my country , hell, I friggen live here, I got over it , and so should everyone
Happens in usa, uk, Australia. Canada
@@cooper7031 and anywhere else in the world. Try to be foreigners in Asia or Europe. Besides, cost of living is on the rise literally everywhere. Australia is indeed a great country.
I had the same experience. Racism everywhere, particularly in employment. It still continues. Don't believe half of the bullshit you get on here.
I’m an Aussie married to a Singaporean. Never once has my wife experienced any form of racism in Australia. On the other hand as a couple traveling around south east Asia we have had many filthy comments thrown at us.
@vishalmalik0519 oh BS. I live in Sydney. Tell me where. Stop making crap up
I've been living in Sydney Australia for just over 40 years. I'd like to comment on two points. [a] Hard to make friends: I think it is up to the individual to be proactive to make friends in Australia. OK, it will take a bit of time, but I find Aussies easy to start a conversation in sports, so try to learn a bit about cricket, tennis, AFL...etc. Once you break the ice, it's not hard to carry onto something else, and friendship flourishes. [b] Racism: I have perhaps experienced once or twice "racist" remarks over 40 years, and that was in the early years when I first migrated to Australia. Thereafter, none. Personally I may even say I experienced "reverse racism" as I had been promoted really fast at work, even ahead of white local people (I'm Asian). This happened a few times in different multi-international companies so I won't attribute my fast promotions to pure luck. There may still be Aussies who believe in the "White Australian policy" but they are now few and far between. I do not know too much about racism against local Aboriginal people, but there are plenty of government policies which favour the original people of the land. And it is illegal to discriminate on racial grounds. So if you suffer from racial discrimination, there are avenues to seek redress.
Asian people in Australia do tend to have 'reverse' racism. They are generally kind and intelligent people and very easy to talk to.
Yeah well said , this clip is clearly has a lefty agenda attached to it.
Is it difficult to date? Because I intend to migrate to Australia while Single....

8:45 Which countries are you talking about that don’t offer Private Health Insurance? And if you’re on a low income in Australia you don’t need to pay for PHI. So what does other countries lack of Insurance have to do with Australia. We have MEDICARE, it takes care of every citizen, regardless of whether you pay for Private Insurance or not. This video is complete MISINFORMATION.

When was this video made?
Every country has it's dark side.
Wow is this a video to slate Australia and purposely put anyone off from visiting let alone living there?! Can’t believe how negative everything was about it.
I visited Australia for 3 months back in the early nineties and all I can say is how wonderful and welcoming everyone was. We started in Perth and made our way across to the east. Each city seemed dated back then but charming and had so much to offer. It’s a majorly diverse country with so many cultures. The cuisine was incredible. I loved the coffee shops especially. Anyhew, this video made me angry even though I haven’t been back to Auzzie I certainly would despite this awful and misleading video. Please don’t be put off if you’re thinking of going there. Yes it’s a long way but so worth it!
As a 6th generation Australian I think the video is mostly very accurate.
As the population increased Australians went through a great honeymoon stage in the 80,90, and 2000s. But as the relationship faded and the reality of overcrowding, loss of lifestyle, expensive cost of living, financial inequality, homelessness and unaffordable housing, etc the relationship for many Australians has soured. We have governments that think big is better and a population that thinks smaller is best. Yes we are by inlarge, racist background, even the millions of immigrants are racist against each other. But all this is not only an Australian thing, it is the same in most countries throughout the world.
I think Australia is better than almost all of Europe. Racism exists in every other country so it's not a debatable topic.
@@lokeshkumar-dq7ylThats a DAMN LIE!....i know thru personal experience that the countries of FantasyLand, Wonderfulstein, and Incredibistabul...have NO RACISM!....none atall!!!😵

I've been to over 50 countries and lived and worked in many. Most are preferable to the US. Australia used to be by far the best country to live in up until the 80s. Now as an Australian male it's become much worse. 20 years ago I voted with my feet in favour of personal freedom, no wokism, no rabid feminism, no LBGTQ or Climate Change nutters, and went to live in Vietnam. I'm so glad I did.

I am a descendant of convict - on my maternal side - on the First Fleet. His name Noel Cavanaugh, and he rowed the boat that carried Captain Arthur Phillip ashore. For the next four years of his life, he was in servitude: and on two occasions was brutally beaten for some type of misdemeanor. Before completing his sentence, he married the daughter of a free settler and worked on farms busting his arse from sunrise to dusk - AS, INDEED, IT WAS THE CASE WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER PERSON, EITHER FREE OR IN SERVITUDE. His granddaughter informed us that her grandfather worked at least 50 hours a week to make ends meet.
As for the (extended) paternal side of my family, they came from Scotland over a 15-month period from the end of 1921. Nearly all of the menfolk were dispatched to the Lithgow area to work in the coal mines. All up, between 1922, and 1964, 17 members of the Meek clan toiled under atrocious conditions, with low wages in those dreadful coal mines. As it transpires, not ONE of those 17 men lived past 61 - the average age of death for them was 57 years of age - from Black Lung type diseases.
With regards to my dad, his father walked out on my nana when she was 7 months pregnant - dad was born in May 1924. My nan worked six days a week as a seamstress in a couple of factories around Sydney. Luckily, her family, the Meeks, allowed her and dad to lodge at their abodes. Dad told me that they were so poor that - as, indeed, it was for majority of people in Australia, too - he never had more than three changes of clothes, and only one pair of shoes, and also a pair of sandals from the time he went to school at five years of age, until he got a job working 8 hours a day on Saturdays in a cotton mill at the age of 12, to earn a few bob.
The point of telling you this, you low-life dog doing the commentary is that Australia - as it also is for NZ, the US, and Canada - became the great societies they did as a DIRECT RESULT of people who arrive from here, there and everywhere and worked their ARSES OFF to build those societies. Alas, we have maggot scum like this piece of guilt-ridden and self-hating piece of white crap castigating my ilk as being virulent racists, who invaded the land and dispossessed the indigenous people.
However, it’s an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that you would be an advocate of open-borders in western lands to permit all and sundry arriving: in order to eradicate those horrible evil white folks. Furthermore, you dog, it’s also an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that, you would have never condemned the insane Islamic fundamentalists, who callously slaughter 530 innocent people in Britain and Europe from April 2004, in the Atocha bombings - and in London in July 2005, and all the way through to Sir David Amess in July 2021: all in the name of Allah.
Similarly, you’d say nothing about the rampant/out of control gang wars occurring in Britain (overwhelmingly) between those of black African heritage.
With respect to Australia and the IMMENSE damage that non-Anglo/European immigrants have brought to bear upon Australia irrefutably prevails with drug gangs. For instance, the scourge of heroin comes as a direct result of Vietnamese drug gangs importing and distributing it here in Oz. Similarly, the cocaine, and ice and other amphetamines/synthetic substances that have destroyed society are ALL the DIRECT RESULT of Middle Eastern and Chinese drug cartels.
So, if it’s all good and proper that Anglo/Celtic and blonde Europeans have to lay down and beg forgiveness for the sins of our forebears then, why pray tell, shouldn’t the Vietnamese, Chinese, and those from the Middle East, seek forgiveness for the sins of their kin? And, don’t ever forget that, the overwhelming cause of the enormous sociological upheavals encumbering the country over the past 40 years can be all traced back to drugs.
What I would really love to see happen to you conducting this shit-canning of Australia, is for you to meet the same fate, at the hands of Islamic fundamentalists, as did Drummer Rigby, in 2013. Whilst that extremely unlikely to occur the next best thing I wish would happen to you is to become severly incapacitated from an accident!!!
@@starcorpvncj Good move! Vietnam is the last bastion of freedom dont tell everyone!
Undoubtedly it's one of the most beautiful countries (NATURALLY 😅speaking). So many beautiful places to visit, breathtaking landscapes and views (that's true) and so on ....
But when it comes to strike up friendships is a real-life nightmare.
It's not the Australian dream like 20y ago, it's not the El Dorado anymore, yet besides everything in terms of creating your tailor-made life is still on top.
Anyway ,if you're looking for a truly-deep-relashionship/friendship country then Australia is not right for you.
No offense guys, but if you're mostly basing your life on money or careers neglecting the social and friendship aspect......
Racism in Australia is complicated. Generally Australia is an open country and not as "racist" as suggested.
Nope. Canada is better🇨🇦

@vishalmalik0519 No country is perfect. It's healthy to see faults in your country. Australia has plenty of problems. Look at all the damage caused by land clearing, using European farming methods, planting of rice and cotton in drought prone areas, introducing invasive species such as the Indian.

I have a male relative who is a musician, that travels around the world. I remember him telling me about a time he experienced racism while visiting Australia.
And the other side of the story?
Government policy and practices have directly contributed to the high cost of living, housing, medical care and pathetic internet. There seems to be very little political interest in fixing anything as many politicians directly benefit from the current system.
Australia does have excellent public health services although the gov is doing its best to tank that system too.
Don't worry about the wild animals, you rarely if ever see them in the cities.

My long term friend from high school wants,nothing to do with me I had girl magazines under my bed my parents saw no problem but he still has a problem with that I'm now 63 he is 62 years old
It is like someone reposted a video made 15 years ago.. half of these points are simply falls. The high cost of living is extremely true though, since Covid wages didnt grow, costs grew 50-100%
All things that can happen in lots of countries.
I struggled to watch this nonsense to the end. Australia is not perfect, and i could give plenty of examples, but most of the items in this clip are from certain people pushing their own agenda. The one good thing is that this might keep a lot of ill informed people away. Australians can keep this amazing country to ourselves. Yippie.
I don't intend to visit Austrália anytime in my life. It's very far from where I live and I don't like meeting racist people. It's not worthy the trip.
(*** A.S. If what you believe is correct than why is that people in the Third World knock themselves over to get here - AS INDEED, they do for the US, NZ, Britain and Canada. The answer to that is because the Third World is a collectice sewer. *** )

Regarding Friends in Australia.
I guess it depends on how a person engages themselves.
If a person gets themselves involved in community activities such as sports, you'll definitely make many, many friends.
I've experienced it while I schooled there.
Today, I still communicate with them via FB While I live in Papua new Guinea.
I have plans to migrate to Australia soon. 😁👍
Commenting from Papua new Guinea South Pacific.🇵🇬
I agree Australia does have a dark side. The idea that everyone’s goal should be to own a house and block of land is something from a bygone era. Suburbia is like being buried alive here unless you have a large family and a car. Not everyone wants or has a large family and a car. The only real liveable places in Australia are on the coast or cooler areas of Australia like the mountains and places with cooler temperatures. It is just too hot depending on where you live. People here tend to live in ghettos based on nationality and income stream which cause polarisation and racist attitudes. People become locked into their own circle for protective reasons. Also not every State is the same. Laws will vary from each state to the other as well cultural values. Places like Darwin have a completely different cultural mix than say Victoria or Melbourne or Sydney. Certain groups get on better with each other than others and you have post code wars. If you come here as a visitor or to live, best be flexible and find a group that shares your views and interests because not everyone wants to be your friend. Currently things are changing rapidly due to political issues and problems around the world.
All the crazies live in Victoria its the mad state.
I plan to visit Australia, but Racism and the difficulty to make friends it's what's drawing me back.

If you lucky eniugh to make friends it will last only a year maybe because Aussies are moving around a lot. They move to an other city. Cities are 1000 km apart, so to keep up with the friendship is impossibly expensive. And here comes the isolation again and again unless you have a big family.
No history or culture. I'd die of boredom !!

There is history and culture most of it unknown to the average Australian these days.
There's aboriginal history and culture. A lot of it. That is a huge rabbit hole if one wants to explore it.

High tax is only for the workers. Many Australians with an income of over a million dollars pay no tax.
He forgot to mention the high immigration Is contributing to housing crisis
i used to like travel in there, but sometimes there is no heat water to bath, that upset me the most.
Except a bit of truth about cost of living (specifically post-COVID) - I must say this VDO is way too exaggerated or completely misleading. Specifically racism & healthcare. A bit of a racism is everywhere incl. Asian countries. Australia is way too better compared to USA and many EU countries. I am Asian and would say this is possibly the best country to live in.
Healthcare: basically the healthcare is FREE. Private insurance is purely an OPTION. When comparing with the “hell”ish kinda of healthcare system in USA - Australian healthcare system is actually a heaven. I suggest people should stop making such VDOs which are way far from reality.
It's not some utopia housing shortage and record prices with the high cost of living should be considered.
Im australian and its good in many ways but people are a bit backward and its true making good friends after education age can be hard unless you are into sport.
People can be too critical of each other

Health insurance is expensive, but what isn’t acknowledged in this video is the majority of people don’t have private health insurance because the excellent and free public health care system in Australia means they don’t need it…. Ok, it has been a tad strained of late, and it doesn’t include everything, so if it’s dental you’re wanting you’ll need to sell your first born into slavery to afford it, but medical is sorted. Private health care isn’t big, meaning when you’re sick it’s best to avoid private hospitals - the food and the room might be better but all the doctors and all the expertise are up the road working in the much bigger and better equiped public hospitals. We’ve problems a plenty but this totally misrepresents the healthcare situation in Australia, it’s not the US!
A few valid points but a great deal of crap too. Ive lived here 54 years coming here as a boy from England. I wouldnt live anywhere else. The comment about racism is also overstated. We are a mulicultural nation and welcome people here, believing in a fair go for all. As for dangerous wildlife a person just has to be careful of their surroundings. Cost of living is high like many other countries at this point in time.
Yes, well anywhere is better than England. Go to Vietnam if you really want a good place to live.
