Australia must be a miserable place to live in ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ

[โ€“] Syndication@lemmy.today 49 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah that would never happen in USA!

No as a canadian my impression of australia is that it's just canada with the same problems but worse

Have many close friends there and it's been tough in recent years

I think most western countries could say that about each other.

Yes, there are shitty landlords in Australia. However, I've never encountered mould or a landlord that wouldn't make appropriate repairs.

I'm sure there are shitty landlords in Canada, and every other country.

I've had to move a lot over the years. Lived in large and small cities in 4 provinces.

I can say with great certainty that this rental scenario (depicted in OP) is very common in any conservative managed or low income areas. Tends to not be common in nicer neighbourhoods.

They chronically elect right wing wankers. Not like the old days...

"Oi! Bruce!"

It's definitely the opposite.

When Australians say times are tough, it's true, but they're usually unaware of how much tougher it is for everyone else.

There is a reason for the increasing uptick of North Americans moving to Australia and not looking back.

Friendly Jordies recently "reviewed" some Canadian cities and basically summed it up well. He couldn't believe how much damage the political choices had done to the nation in the past 15 years.

Canada, but all the wildlife can kill you.

Funny, y'all been recruiting Americans there for air traffic controller jobs. A few buddies of mine ended up there. How do you feel about Americans getting well paying jobs and getting paid to relocate to Australia?

[โ€“] saltesc@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Normal. Australia is just people from all over the world.

There's some weirdos that think it isn't, but they're not welcome.

[โ€“] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

Wish a solid 40% of Americans would wake up to that same truth.

Funny, America laid off all its air traffic controllers and has had to close airports due to the lack.

Something like a third of the population was born in a different country. It's normal.

Good on em, we're very multicultural so its normal
