I always assumed the longer life expectancy is mostly because Americans need to go into crippling medical debt just to see the doctor about a cold so most of them avoid seeking treatment for an illness
Under PM Bob Hawke in the 1980s, university education was free! Then a later govt introduced the HECS fees which put a decades long debt on those who had used public funds to get their degree. Put a hex on their income for many years
Tasmania has the cleanest water, freshest barley malt and hops, and the cleanest air in the world, and Scots migrants too! 😀🥃 Australiam education institutions have very high ratings and are very popular overseas, you can pay later when you have a regular appropriate income! Yes, many under 30s still go to the UK before Uni! There are huge disparities between what average Americans on wages pay in tax, and the extra cost of healthcare and retirement funds, from their gross income compared to most salary packaged Americans! We are certainly better off in general! We also have paid holidays, leave loading, paid overtime, allowances, long service leave, maternity leave, stress & compassionate leave, less stress and more social activities, much more friendly work environment - all unusual in the US! 👍🇦🇺
I love how this video gives all the reasons why we do things better then other places but most of these things are due directly to safety measures implemented for all public spaces, strict laws and persistent to the point of annoying informational advertising campaigns, look up the (slip,slop,slap and slide) commercials or the (fence the pool) swimming safety commercials. Even with these measure in place 1 in 2 Aussies will get cancer in there lifetime, not joking that's half of us.
All Uni students have a fee to pay when they graduate (HECS fee) which is deducted from your wage by the tax office but not until you reach a certain pay threshold which is pretty generous.
We're friendlier, more welcoming, happier, compassionate & we're accepting people Down Under so if your of the same ilk then join us as we're happy to have you 😊!
That whisky is going for $24,000 on ebay. That's the 2014 barrel. Other years go for $1500 - $5000. The distillery makes other whisky's as well that are $1,000 and under. I'd shelve it if i owned it. As good as it might taste, Whisky is a good investment, it'll always go up in value.
All degrees have fees attached to them that must be paid, either as you learn or accumulated as debt to be paid after graduation. Overall, the fees are much lower than the US. If you choose to 'learn now, pay later', fees are recouped by the government from your pay once your annual salary reaches a certain level. The objective is to not cripple you with education debt. That said, due to their financial circumstances, many former students do not pay or pay very little of their student debt back. My understanding is that little or nothing is done about these cases by government.
Australia also has a lot of proactive public health and safety initiatives that Americans would decry. Australia adopted RBT, seatbelt and helmet laws in the 70s. Some US states not for 30 more years. The road toll for fatalities - Australia 1200 for 26m in 2023. Thats not much more than 1970. The US is ~1900 for 300 million. It's roughly double per capita. People complain about speed and redlight cameras, random booze and drug testing, mobile phone detectors, cameras but they have an impact.
Here's an interesting article from yesterday about Australia's Covid response, criticised by many as too severe. You were 33 more likely to die in the UK and 46 times more likely to die in the US. While Australia has suffered some catchup deaths after reopening, keeping people locked down until everyone had the chance to immunize has kept hundreds of thousands alive and not suffering long Covid. www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/aggressive-measures-in-covid-early-years-credited-for-saving-thousands-of-lives-20240112-p5ewxi.html
Before a 'gap year' was ever heard off Aussies used to go to the UK because we could easily get visas to work if you were under 26. Spent 4 years in the UK. I remember going to Australia house in London and it was surrounded by kombi vans as one lot of ausies left a new lot came and boght the kombis for there travels.
Our diets are very different from the american one. Like we eat veggies lots of them across all the meals we have per day. Our portion size I's enough to fill us up but not overwhelming enough to feed a whole family.
I suspect that this is a very old video but one of your comments was a classic. Sub-titles showed you said "Australia just consistently delivers when it comes to LIVERPOOL cities". Whoodathunk!
When Americans leave home to further their education it’s usually to another state, miles away from their home, where they usually settle and only see their family and parents for the holidays. Australians mostly live and work close to home and family and of course friends. Like European families our children grow up with extended family which to us is so important.
G'day Mate! Here in OZ students have HECS loans for their fees etc (Higher Education Contribution Scheme) and unlike in the USA where you have to sy=tart repaying after about 3 months of your graduation etc here a student will only start repaying when they earn over $51,500 pa and then you only repay at the rate of 2.5% and also unlike the USA there is no interest to accrue on the loans. SO the more you earn the faster the loan is repaid... Cheers!
I'm above the median, but I'd been socking money away in super, was frugal or tight with unnecessary spending money, never had a significant other and have owned a house.
Why Australian cities are so good to live in, We don't have school shootings every 2nd week. Why Australian's are so happy, We don't have school shootings every 2nd week. Plus in Australia, every day is hump day not just one day in the centre of the week. Why Australian's have more money, The Australian money has lots of colour like a rainbow, even the coins and we have more room under the bed to keep it, because Australian's don't have school shooting guns to hide. How can you not have more money when you get paid a living wage and you are not forced to tip.
For that wealth statistic it included retirement savings and assets, Everyone gets 9% of their salary put aside in a retirement fund so that helps that along, but anyone who's own's a house in Sydney more than 10 years will probably have over 1 million in equity in their house, so that will skew the average much higher. If you did the same calculation excluding people who live in Sydney and Melbourne it would be much lower.
The wealth statistic is true, although perhaps a little misleading. Australians are wealthy (on average relative to other countries) because retirement savings are compulsory and privatised. In most other countries savings for retirement are either voluntary, or the state or your employer pays your pension. House prices also contribute to household wealth, and as others have said, our house prices are insane. In relation to student debt, we only pay 25% of the course fee which you can either pay upfront or take as a loan, the rest is paid by the government. International students pay full fees of course.
We don't have a stupid second amendment most of us have never held a gun nor do we need one therefore Australia is an extremely safe place to live. This point should have been number 1.
We are very high on median wealth and way above the USA. But USA has a higher mean (average) wealth because much of the wealth is in the hands of a few. Gini coefficient is used to show this. It is a measure of how the wealth is spread. If it is evenly distributed in the population, then you get a much better Gini coefficient. USA has one of the worst Gini coefficients in the world, but their mean wealth is very high.
I've been to the ocean pool at Forster. It has a sandy bottom and goes from ankle deep to over 2 metres deep at the sea wall. It is also wheelchair accessible, all the way from the carpark. It also has change rooms, including some for disabled people, and it is all free. I didn't know about the whisky award, but there are several areas in Australia where the climate and the soils combine to produce world class wines. Our health care is so much better than the system in the USA, that it isn't funny anymore. I've even seen occasional stories about medically induced bankruptcies in the US. I don't know how truthful they are, but in Australia, hospital treatment is free to eligible citizens.
Australian's have a superannuation fund for every hour worked in your life, it's part of your wage that your employer pays 😊, Australian's have more paid public holidays annual leave and sick leave entitlements, our health care compared to most countries is better, when the bill at a hospital is free, I have had four major operations and the only cost was the trip to hospital 😊 and Perth is the best city in Australia, as you can still afford to buy a house on one income, 😊
I would say it’s combined wealth. So for me it would be my Super, long service, annual leave, personal leave, sick leave, personal savings and my assets. Otherwise I just feel broke all the time😅
I was lucky enough to have my university education fees paid by the government. I only had books, parking and union fees to pay. I have repaid that many, many times over with the added taxes on a higher income. As I see it, free uni is a wise investment.
That's not true about fees when you leave Uni. By the time my daughter finished her teaching degree she had a 60,000 odd debt. This is paid off via her tax , after she begins working. Interest is charged on the balance until it's all paid off. I wouldn't call it cheap to go to Uni. We just don't have to pay it up front n
Aussie's...?? Median Wealth , $140,000 NO, NOT A CHANCE that's maybe a statistical average Average Aussie Earns $1,000 A week MAYBE Saves $50 a week, if they are good at savings 50% to 75% is going in rent and food and expenses Most Aussies have less than $300 in their bank account, a lot have next to nothing . You're next level up from that is a minority that might have up to $2,000 in their account this is where most Aussies sit it is a very select few and small percentage that has over $100k Saved or even $50k - $100k
Check out Kate Reid who is claimed by media to have created the perfect croissant. She established the famous Lune Croissanterie in Melbourne.

the number one thang australia does "better than the u.s." is geography. nice tiny population almost all living along the coasts and no 3,000 mile border with a third world narco state in addition to no third world island nations (ie. haiti, cuba, etc.) right off the coast. i would also add i'm yankee but i lived in wollongong, nsw fer 2 1/2 years with an australian gf and if australians are supposedly so much "healthier" than americans you'd never know it by living there. obesity in oz is BAD and they eat just as much junk food (and drink and smoke far more) than americans.
Nordic countries do the equality thing re women very well indeed. Iceland managed to ignore their females in paid emplyment for 24 hours recently and the place ran as well as before. I wonder if anyone was able to get the courage to say out loud that it ran better.
Americans are poor because of their low wages and poor health services, cost of medications, and their quality of life - with almost no holidays - is so bad that they get sidker, or more mentally unwell. We have very poor people ehere. But it's true that for the majority, we can survive,
one of the 400 Gradi locations (the award winning pizza) is on my street but I don't usually go there 😂 it's good, but not exactly cheap. there are so many great pizza places around here that it's difficult to find a bad one 🤷🏻♀️
I've struggled with the whole gender inequality battle for as long as I can remember. I think we're SO conditioned in our roles, that people don't even notice when it's happening right in front of them. Coming from a family of strong women, perhaps I'm just more aware, but it is alive and well sadly. Things are much better than they were, but we have a long way to go. I notice almost every time I'm with a group of men, that what I have to say is largely ignored or not considered. This is typical of the "group mentality". They listen to each other with a different, and much greater level of respect. Recently I made a suggestion regarding a problem, only to be totally ignored, until one of the men made the same suggestion. When he said it though, the rest of the men all agreed and said it was a great idea. When I said, that I'd said that 10 minutes ago, they told me I hadn't !! They never heard me they said. It makes you feel "less than" and unimportant. Or not worthy of an opinion. And of course, if you try to push home the message, then you're being "a typical bloody woman. A "drama queen". Then of course, you have the more serious issue of more than 1 woman a week still being murdered due to domestic violence. It's 2 in the UK and they have something like, 4 times the population. This should have us all on our feet and screaming for justice. It should be totally unacceptable, yet there's no outcry. Why? It makes no sense to me, and now more than ever we need our brothers to stand up and speak out amongst other men. I still often hear men get upset when women talk about this topic, and use the "not all men " argument. Again, why be so defensive? Of course it's not all men, but that's not an argument for keeping quiet about it. The very fact that some men having their feelings hurt seems more important to them than woman fighting to try to save woman's lives, should prove there's still a huge problem. It's such a complex topic, this is way longer than what I wanted to write. But this is trying to just get the basic point across. Thanks so much for asking the question. It matters....
Coffee, gun control, education, money, pizza, yes - but all food in general, health care, community spirit, work/life balance, sense of humour, walking. My top 10 anyway 😊

Less stress, worry and anxiety about money due to higher wages, coupled with less fear of criminal activity, including guns could be the reason for increased life expectancy of Aussies. Australians enjoy a much more easy-going and carefree lifestyle which probably makes the difference. 🇦🇺🦘
Our Aussie public health care system is straining right now, so it needs more money, but structurally it's very good. I had a HECS debt when I finished Uni, but paid it off in a few years. No issue. I spent more than 6 months overseas after Uni and before work. Brilliant! I went from Egypt to Nepal et al. Our 'median wealth' is mostly based around property prices. What's CLEARLY missing from the list is TEA and COFFEE! The Yanks are CRAP AT BOTH! 🤣 M 🦘🏏😎

Tasmania - making world class whisky, gin and apple cider for some years now.
Tassie has the right climate, for making whiskey and cider
Yeah Tassie! 💗👍 Don't forget the seafood and beef! 😋
And wine for decades.
All Uni students have a fee to pay when they graduate (HECS fee) which is deducted from your wage by the tax office but not until you reach a certain pay threshold which is pretty generous.

The longer life expectancy would have to be because Australia has Medicare
And we get outdoors more, and we watch out for our neighbours! 🤔

We're the Lucky Country.
Trifecta ..... Best whiskey best pizza and an Aussie Barista won the 2022 World Championships. No need to leave the country now 😀

I remember going to Australia house in London and it was surrounded by kombi vans as one lot of ausies left a new lot came and boght the kombis for there travels.
The whisky is probably because the water & air is some of the cleanest on the planet [actually one place in Tassie has the cleanest air].

The median wealth includes house value. If you *can* afford to buy a house here even with mortgage, your wealth jump to half a million at least.
When Americans leave home to further their education it’s usually to another state, miles away from their home, where they usually settle and only see their family and parents for the holidays.

Australia produces nearly everything. We make the best rum and whisky in the world
uni cost, it's called HECS and you only pay it back when you make $X per year via tax, if you never make that much money you never pay it back
I'm above the median, but I'd been socking money away in super, was frugal or tight with unnecessary spending money, never had a significant other and have owned a house.

A pretty big problem in Australia is Skin Cancer the sun is pretty harsh here
I have never seen ocean pools other than at Sydney and the NSW coast.

that's right
Not many Aussie's Actually have $100k+ Saved
Let alone savings in general
Most have less than $1 Grand in the bank
I was lucky enough to have my university education fees paid by the government. I only had books, parking and union fees to pay. I have repaid that many, many times over with the added taxes on a higher income. As I see it, free uni is a wise investment.
Good pizza in Aus and the USA is due to the large population of Italian migrants.
Austinmer pool is the best in nsw ....
dont actually think we are better - we just take the piss out of others who think its a thing to contend for

Median Wealth , $140,000
NO, NOT A CHANCE
that's maybe a statistical average
Average Aussie
Earns $1,000 A week
MAYBE Saves $50 a week, if they are good at savings
50% to 75% is going in rent and food and expenses
Most Aussies have less than $300 in their bank account, a lot have next to nothing .
You're next level up from that is a minority that might have up to $2,000 in their account
this is where most Aussies sit
it is a very select few and small percentage that has over $100k Saved
or even $50k - $100k
Also best wine, cheese, croissants.

Less stress, worry and anxiety about money due to higher wages, coupled with less fear of criminal activity, including guns could be the reason for increased life expectancy of Aussies. Australians enjoy a much more easy-going and carefree lifestyle which probably makes the difference. 🇦🇺🦘
Our Aussie public health care system is straining right now, so it needs more money, but structurally it's very good.
I had a HECS debt when I finished Uni, but paid it off in a few years. No issue. I spent more than 6 months overseas after Uni and before work. Brilliant! I went from Egypt to Nepal et al.
Our 'median wealth' is mostly based around property prices. What's CLEARLY missing from the list is TEA and COFFEE! The Yanks are CRAP AT BOTH! 🤣
