All the immigration rules and crap to get a legitimate person in and then I arrived at the airport and it's full of how to say foreigners running the place I don't know how they get in or how that works cab drivers have nothing against immigrants but it's like anti racism reversal some shit like that even getting a birth certificate copy from Canberra some I won't specify the country lady high on the horse of power can't this can't that you go to this got to do that finally I got a good Aussie girl on the phone later on in the week she even mailed it to me after work in her own time There are some good Aussies left but they are slowly getting corrupted by the sheep mentality and the government pushing them into slavery unfortunately I feel sorry for them
I relocated 15 years ago to Thailand I go back To Australia once every few years and it's a total shock fishing licences grumpy people even the Postman had a go at my girlfriend in the post office guys asking for money in the car park outside shopping centres drug-ridden prostitutes outside woollies Lying real estate agents Everybody on edge suspiciously eyeing up their neighbour it just goes on and on and on No thanks
Slightly off topic, but we weighed up cost v cost and decided that, in the "off" season, it's actually cheaper, less stress and more relaxing to book a week at a time in luxury beachfront accomodation, than to own, insure, register, maintain, repair and tow a caravan all over the country.
Online business or build one while living in Bulgaria mate. You can buy a decent older property with land fruit trees etc for 30 grand check it out. Beautiful country and people man peace bro
😢australia is only paying for America englands debt while Australian standard of living is going back ward so fast it not funny. We only have corupt bum boy poloticians here in australia no matter who is in power. I beleive australia in the next 5 years will be the same as America England we wont be able to pay the interest on our debt We would get a shock if we knew what the actual Australian debt is states and federal debt.then look at the personal debt of our citizens. .
Government policies have caused problems. External conflicts and depending on imported oil have caused the rise in living costs and inflation. Australia needs to build more affordable housing. This would help to reduce rents. Moving to renewable energy and electric vehicles would help too.
I actually find it cheaper to fly around the country and book accomodations and use rental or tour vehicles. You actually see the most beautiful parts of the country/world in comfort. Not joking flying can be cheaper than driving if you know how to plan. Also a lot of nice free spots are overun with legit homeless people that have no choice or options these days which can cause security and other issues. Some of them seem to turn the sites into festering litter bins. Sounds bad but it's true. I pay a bit and get the premium spots without worry... overall i dont spend any more money in a year because i keep an income going.
Yeah, good luck bro, see if you can find something better. UK is doing great. Europe is an Islamic state. Asia is boiling hot and filthy. The U.S.... hahahaha.
starved in a rental for weeks on end just trying to pay bills. didnt have food for several days a week working full time getting stuffed around by my employer. the only reason i'm not homeless or worse is because of the kindness of my partner's parents. I want to leave here asap, it's impossible to live here honestly
Our cost of living is rising rapidly because the price we pay for goods and services is being driven upwards by the aggressive taxation levelled upon it by all three levels of government in this country. These goods and services include fuel, energy, utilities, food, clothing, council and commercial rates etc. So when we purchase goods and services the price we pay includes all these taxes which are also continually rising. So why are they so high? The answer to this question is that we, the citizens of this country, are almost entirely the sole source of taxation revenue for the three levels of government in this country. Because each year, big business, including many who are foreign, pay little to nothing in tax amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars lost to the nation, meaning you and I have to make up the difference. “Australians are paying more personal income tax as a share of government revenue than any other advanced economy, except for the high-taxing Scandinavian welfare state of Denmark, according to an international report that renews pressure on the Coalition and Labor to reform the tax system. Governments in Australia also raised almost double the amount of revenue from taxes on property compared to other wealthy nations, chiefly due to state-based stamp duty on real estate purchases, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development report said.” - AFR(policy-tax-and-super-personal-tax-take-second-highest-in-oecd-20211206-p59f3y) “A report for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development found that as a share of government revenue, our personal income taxes account for 42 per cent, which is more than twice as much as the OECD average of 23.5 per cent.” - ABC(news-2021-12-07-personal-income-tax-in-australia-amongst-the-13666488) The data below comes from the ABS and shows just how big the problem of tax avoidance by big business is in this country. Total tax collected from individuals by all levels of government in 2020-2021 was $593,184 million or $593.184 billion as shown by the ABS (abs-ausstats-abs@.nsf-mf-5506.0) Total tax payable by Corporate Australia in 2020-2021 was $68,895,227,402 or $68.895 billion as can be found at - Data(dataset-ds-dga-c2524c87-cea4-4636-acac-599a82048a26-details). That means we citizens contributed $524.289 billion dollars in taxes while big business was liable for only $68.895 billion dollars. This represents, 68.895/(524.289 + 68.895) x 100% = 11.614% of the total tax expected to be collected by the federal government was paid by big business. According to the ABS the total income of big business in this period was $2,311,484,379,849 or $2311.5 billion or $2.3115 trillion and so in being liable for only $68.895 billion in tax they only paid 2.98% of their income in tax. If big business paid the same rate of tax as the rest of us, say 30%, then the total tax take from big business in 2020-21 should amount to $693.45 billion. Even if they were only expected to pay 20% of their income in tax then they would be liable for $462.3 billion. If we set the bar at 15% then they would be liable for $346.73 billion. Such a sum would make an enormous difference to reducing the taxation burden on workers and small businesses from all three levels of government and hence to significantly reducing the cost of living pressures we are currently experiencing. What about our schools, universities, hospitals, defence and other expenses we must meet? No wonder the cost of living has got out of hand in this country as the tax burden of big business has been transferred onto the shoulders of the community and so by its very weight crushing the economic life out of it. Around one third of big businesses don’t pay any tax, “One-third of large companies in Australia still don’t pay any tax despite a taxation office crackdown on the big end of town that has been under way for five years.” - Theguardian-(australia-news-2021-dec-10-one-third-of-big-businesses-in-australia-still-dont-pay-any-tax-five-years-into-ato-crackdown) Some of these businesses even receive handouts or subsidies from the government. “Fossil fuel subsidies cost Australians a staggering $10.3 billion in FY 2020-21 with one Commonwealth tax break alone ($7.84 billion) exceeding the $7.82 billion spent on the Australian Army, according to research released today by The Australia Institute. In fact, $10.3 billion in Government subsidies means that in 2020, every minute of every day $19,686 was effectively given to coal, oil and gas companies and major users of fossil fuels…………………………………………….. …….. “Coal, oil and gas companies in Australia give the impression that they are major contributors to the Australian economy, but our research shows that they are major recipients of government funds,” said Rod Campbell, Research Director at The Australia Institute.“ - Australiainstitute-(australian-fossil-fuel-subsidies-hit-10-3-billion-in-2020-21) The tax evasion behaviour described above has been going on for decades under both Labor and the LNP. In this kind of environment, where permissive thinking undermines integrity leading to such behaviour being normalised, we should not be surprised to discover individual politicians who have been spying against us on behalf of foreign governments.
Market forces should normally insure that prices and rents cannot rise to a level which market participants are unable to pay. So, the proper question should be who is doing all the buying. In Australia, both foreign and over-leveraged buyers are essentially unrestrained, and the reason for this is to support BANK COLLATERAL, which is what a home actually is today. Were people more informed, instead of disregarding such discussions in favor of whinging, the problem could more easily be solved.
Why I Left Australia for Poland: Embracing the Charms of a New Life The decision to leave the sunny shores of Australia for the heart of Europe, Poland, was fueled by the promise of a vibrant and enriching life. Poland is a land where history breathes through the cobblestone streets and every corner tells a story of resilience and beauty. Walking through cities like Kraków and Warsaw feels like stepping into a living museum, where medieval castles stand proud and cultural festivals fill the air with music and laughter. What truly sets Poland apart is its affordability. The cost of living here is refreshingly low, allowing for a life where financial stress is minimized. Whether it's finding a charming apartment, savoring a delicious meal at a local restaurant, or simply enjoying everyday essentials, everything comes at a fraction of the cost compared to Australia. Nature lovers find their paradise in Poland’s diverse landscapes. The majestic Tatra Mountains offer thrilling adventures for hikers and skiers alike, while the tranquil Baltic Sea coast provides perfect spots for serene getaways. Each season paints the country in different hues, from the vibrant blooms of spring to the snowy wonderland of winter, ensuring there's always something new to explore. Education in Poland is another gem, with universities that stand tall in global rankings. The opportunity to pursue higher education without the hefty price tag is a significant draw, attracting students from around the world to its esteemed institutions. But what truly makes Poland feel like home is its people. The warmth and hospitality of the Polish community are unparalleled. It’s easy to forge deep connections and feel embraced by the local culture, making the transition smooth and welcoming. Poland’s thriving economy is a testament to its dynamic spirit. Job opportunities abound, especially in burgeoning fields like tech, finance, and manufacturing. For those with entrepreneurial dreams, the business-friendly environment is ripe with possibilities. Geographically, Poland sits at the crossroads of Europe, making it a perfect hub for travelers. With its well-connected transport links, weekend getaways to neighboring countries become delightful regularities. Cuisine in Poland is an adventure in itself. Traditional dishes like pierogi, bigos, and żurek are not just meals but experiences that delight the palate and warm the heart. Each bite tells a story of tradition and love. Safety and healthcare in Poland offer peace of mind. The robust public healthcare system ensures high-quality medical care, contributing to a secure and healthy lifestyle. Additionally, the Polish way of life places a strong emphasis on work-life balance. Family time and leisure are cherished, creating a fulfilling lifestyle where personal and professional life harmoniously coexist. Moving to Poland from Australia has been a journey filled with new experiences, financial ease, and cultural riches. It’s a land where every day brings a new adventure, and every interaction leaves a lasting impression. Embracing Poland has been like stepping into a storybook, where the pages are filled with joy, discovery, and a deep sense of belonging.

My daughter spent 2years in Italy during covid. She returned with husband and baby to Australia. after one year they have decided to go and live in Italy as they can buy a house there and renovate for so much cheaper.
STOP COMPLAINING AND MOVE TO THE Regional Areas. Plenty of affordable towns with lots of opportunities. I lived in Sydney and it's super unaffordable to purchase property. So I've decided to invest in the Regional Towns!
