What is living in Australia like?

How do you think it's different from living in America?

Such a great song

Well, first off, they hate Americans.

Over-governed and over-charged.

It's not that different, most trends get here 5 years later

The price of cigarettes (over $1 per cig) and alcohol is much higher here. Housing is a bubble waiting to burst

Floods of immigrants have been let in over the past 10-15 years, Chinese and Indians seem to be the most prominent in Melbourne at least

We have 2 major political parties, liberal and labor. Both take orders from the same scumbags that run the rest of the world...

Interesting

Is the political scene as nuts as in the US?

dey jelly do

Completely different. We can't vote for a person to represent us, only a party. We are forced to vote, even if there is no party that we feel would represent the country properly. Don't vote then you are fined.

I feel Aussies don't really get into that stuff

like.... there isn't some kind of mass power struggle or something there


Like this is what Aussie media reports on..

Not really, it's more sterile. Many people don't care anymore, many others still think their vote actually counts for something (they love being up to date with "news and current affairs")

Like... That kind of reporting is way more news worthy than the stuff they report here in the US

Good lord!

Yeh, I don't care either

I didn't really understand what was so hilarious about that vid the first few times I saw it

Toilets flush backwards.

I couldn't deal with that maaaaan!

I mean...like WOW!

Do you HAVE to surf if you live there?


And if you don't, how are you looked upon by your peers?

It’s Australia, so assuming you aren’t killed by....everything....

The surfing culture is more so part of the national image that we like to project. Surfing has way more participants (per capita) in Ireland and the US.

There is also a massive cultural difference between city folk and country folk, same as it is in your country.

Oh ok :P.... Thank god


I've never surfed ever :P

anti-hoon laws, full of aussies, hot. sounds like hell on earth

I couldn’t understand the Gold Coast guy’s dialect/ accent. Looked like the news folks couldn't either and were just laughing at how they couldn’t understand a word he was saying

Translations from the footage:

pluggers = thongs (you put 'em on your feet not your arse)

moot = cunt/flange/fanny/vagina

-----------------------------------

It can be difficult.
Too many unnatural deaths occur here, ie. murders, brushed under the carpet for a profit.

It's so prolific our medical system is comfortable with it too.

The bikes and the cops (and their bitches) harm and disadvantage more people than any other groups combined.

The older generation still enjoys loop holes in tax and investment, they made sure no one else can while they rake in money and power.

Young people can't afford to buy property.

Banks will screw you over to take your property and give you a bill for the rest.

Renting properties comes with dealing mostly with gestapo style groups of women who are as nasty as you imagine because they have a small amount of power.
(you absolutely respect and adore the good ones you find because they are like diamonds)

Fat women are full of spite and nastiness towards anyone who doesn't look like them.
Their gross counterparts are leering and think they should have 20-something sucking their dicks.

The young women are feral and viscous, they seem to think social media influenced by your country is real 'life'.

You work to give more than 75% of your wage, if you are standard income, to someone else.

Our power prices are fucking stupid.
Our rents are too high.

Most people have less than $1000 in the bank.

Our leaders let in people from other countries with money who come here and shit on locals with bad attitudes, thinking they are better.

---------------------------------

What else do you want to know?

-----------------------

This country seems like it was designed to break hearts.

This Littlepixie loves it here in Australia thou I wouldn't go further north than the 26th parallel, bloody big crocodiles.

People say if you want to swim: throw your dog in first, if it comes back you could be lucky and maybe ok to have a quick dip and if it doesn't come back you should be fine for a quick dip because that crocodile probably isn't hungry anymore.

Snakes, well, Im not very fond of them and spiders don't worry me, its the crocodiles that truly give me the hebegebees. PS: Ive never been close to one.

Another posted mentioned the prices of things:

Power/electricity has gone up 75% in the last 10 years.

Fuel, we pay around $1.60 a litre

Bread, depending on your budget, the cheap white you can get for around a dollar but its crap, a decent loaf will cost you about $3.50 but if you want specialty bread like gluten free then you could be paying around $7.00 a loaf.

In summer we worry about fires and in winter we worry about flooding thou lately Ive been concerned with the earthquakes that have been happening near Lake Muir(about 100km from where I live).

Australia, what a wonderful country to call home.

Oh yeah... forgot something...

Thread: I would rescind ALL TAX FREE enterprise in Australia....pay fucken tax like everyone else....or get the fuck out

I've been told three things about Australia:

They're full.

Life's good as long as you watch out for the drop bears. Just one landing on your head can ruin your day.

Life in the outback is not like in Mad Max.

I am confused by what you are saying. Are you still championing the taxman and big government? Honest question without innuendo.

So hot humid. Food priced is high traffic bad really took me 2 hours getting home from city and I'm only 30 odd km away.. And deadly snakes in yard many of us have few dogs for home safety then have a small dog foxy to protect the kids and it gets eaten first if snake is near by.
Ugly no teeth slut middle age woman no teeth.
Schools are a sham they are fenced not just out side but inside no education.
