I love Australia and not leaving
When I work 60-70hrs per week and still cannot afford a house, cause by past and present governments, I know It's time to find somewhere affordable …
I'm one of the Australians who left 6 months ago, living and working in Saudi Arabia now. I don't understand why the government is bringing in so many people and international students. When I did my university in the early 2000s, it was $400 per subject, now it's $1200 per subject. Where did the money go from international students? My rent in Macquarie Park was always around $600pw for 2 bedroom apartment until 2022, but it is now a minimum of $880pw. It also disturbs me a lot when I see kids' school excursions, 95% are Asian and Indian kids. Where are the white kids? And I'm Asian myself. Why would Australians want to kill its own identity? Beyond me.

Australia 🦘 is the best country.I live here and die here.❤
Boo hoo hoo. It has always been the case that buying real estate in the capital cities is expensive, and there are a few other ‘accepted norms’ in this nonsense video which must be challenged.
Eating out. This was rarely done in my youth – it was considered a waste of money – we held dinner parties at home.
Child care. It didn’t exist years ago – children were cared for by their parents and extended family.
Housing affordability. We bought where we could afford – outside of capital cities. Interest rates got to 18% at one stage !
House standard. We bought little, old 3 bed, 1 bath, 1 carport, no pool, no multiple living areas etc homes and upgraded to better homes over time.
Gadgets. We had 1 TV and a wall phone – no games, no computers etc.
Cars. We had 1 car.
Overseas holidays – considered an absolute luxury, and a once in a lifetime experience.
Work. We went where the work was, we didn’t hang around the beaches and cities whinging about no jobs.
Get a grip
The so called ‘standard of living’ today is actually a ‘standard of extravagant luxury’.
Sure things are not perfect but everyday when I wake up , I thank my God for Australia.
Climate change is a scam, I don’t think anyone will leave Australia over climate change rather then government becoming totalitarian and authoritarian.
Bad government management
Going on holidays??
Are they going to somewhere these problems do not exist?
Get better life in russia,Syria, iran,nth kor 😅😂😅😂
Thousands of kiwis are going to Australia not Australians coming to New Zealand.
Better than to rot in hell!😮
Don’t worry Aussies, they will all be back as soon as they realise they have left one of the best countries in the world regardless of what the situation is right now. There’s worst ones out there.
Worse country ever been
Australia is a beautiful country but the government should do something about housing affordability for first home buyers.
Too many Indian and Chinese immigrants arriving
The UK and Canada have nothing to offer it’s the same in other countries
This video was incredibly eye-opening. It really challenged my assumptions about Australia and the factors that influence people's decisions to leave their home country. The emphasis on the high cost of living, limited healthcare access, and the search for a better work-life balance resonated deeply. It made me reflect on my own priorities and consider what truly matters to me in a fulfilling life. What are your biggest concerns about the future of your current country, and how are they impacting your own life?
