Overpriced, overtaxed, overregulated, overbearing, overreacting, the Nanny state that had so much potential flushed down the toilet by inept and corrupt politicians.
@scottfree993
The other issue with Australian apartments is you get totally screwed with body corporate/HOA fees and council rates on top of that.

As a South American living in Australia. I think Australia has been destroyed by purpose by politicians. It’s a fantastic place to live if you can afford and a nightmare if you can’t keep up with cost of living. I also noticed a lot of control over every single aspect of people lives and obsessive control using technology and cameras over people for stupid reasons. It’s peaceful in terms of safety and small population so less competition for opportunities. What scares me the most is Australia imports most of it’s industrialised products, almost every industrialised goods comes from another country, including clothes, house utensils, food, medication etc….so this can be very fragile if something happens. It’s a weak supply chain. Australia produces lots of primary goods but not final industrialised products with a tiny fraction of local production. But still, Australia can be better than many countries around the world.

I appreciate these stories. I’m a 65 years old who owns a home in Australia and am out of touch with these issues. I arrived here in 1979 and it’s been a blessing to live here. It’s very saddening that my circumstances are no longer available. I would never have imagined this would happen

Left Australia years ago. Living in Herzegovina in a town on the border of Croatia. Dual citizen thanks to my parents. Own my house here. I am an online teacher. Greatest decision i ever made.

This guy speaks the truth. Australia is not a business friendly environment and it’s population are there to be milked. Australian living in Asia here, I am stunned at how badly Australians are brainwashed into believing that Australia is actually a great life. The average Aussie who hasn’t lived overseas responds with “calm down”, or “you are over reacting”. They say this because they really don’t have a clue how much better your life can be with more money in your pocket, or how good/competitive life is in other countries. Almost any country, when you have money, is good to live in. Australia takes away the one thing you need to have a good life, your money! The ATO is SO focused on emptying your bank accounts, to the point where the high court had to step in and tell them they were breaking the law (aka robo debt, ‘lets make stuff up and get people to pay, seems legit’). This isn’t hysterical, this is fact. I’ve had two under 50 friends die in Australia in the past 3 years with full coroners enquiry, both died because of a lack of robust health care for otherwise trivial matters. One spent a week walking around to doctors begging for assistance. He was met with, ahh, its just blood pressure, take a pill. He died in front of his young children at home. I guess I’m being ‘hysterical’ though, right?! The Australian people broadly speaking are highly innovative and hard working. BUT, they aren’t stupid. Try open a business there, you will see the several tax agencies sitting at the front awaiting payment. If you get a little success, who’s going to tolerate that? Not most Aussies and rightly so. The problem I see is that while we are a hard working people we are lazy when it comes to political matters. We don’t want to make a fuss, we don’t want to complain. The rodents running the country know this and fully exploit it. They do whatever they want, take whatever they want and remove more and more accountability every year so they can get away with more and more. Aussie’s sit back and think, ‘nothing I can do….’ I honestly don’t see a way forward for Australia. It isn’t going to disappear or anything, but quality of life is slipping every year and soon we will be back in the 70’s. Better just to pick up and go elsewhere.

I left australia just over 2 years ago. Now I also live an international life. Covid definitely changed it. The destruction of liveability and cost of living. The society I grew up in is different to what it is now. I also live in se Asia. Glad I am seeing people exactly the same mindset.
@madaz13bbp
As someone living in Perth for near 3 decades, I completely agree with his assessment of Australia. I’m looking at leaving as well and would encourage anyone contemplating the same to seriously consider leaving too.
