My son in law is about your age. He came here from The US to play baseball for four months, met my daughter and never went back. He loves his life here, can’t believe the health system, the wages, the food, and living a short walk to the beach 😁
"Are farmers the richest people in Australia?" - no, but they probably should be. Nah, the richest people in Australia are mining magnates, property investors and the politicians they... collaborate with.
Farmers just have a lot of collateral.
@@Packacone420 And usually a lot of debt
Richest people in Australia move to the USA and become citizens.
@@Packacone420 farmer banks have a lot of collateral.

Our isolation is why we are such a good place to visit - we get excited when we see somebody new in our 2 square kilometres per person of land.
Median income is more representative of what most people earn in Australia - it's still good but $20000 lower than the average. Median is around $70000 per annum, average is around $90000 per annum.
The difference being that the top 5% obscene earners skew the average upwards for the other 95%
Farmers are quite wealthy in good seasons, but it is the export companies that reap most of those profits.
Losing the emu war has cost us big time - they have since recruited some 60 other bird species into their ranks and are estimated to cost the economy around 300 to 350 million in lost agricultural products every year. But there is no use complaining about it, they are our masters now.
All Hale our emu overlords
@@MrThomas864 And their Magpie Storm Troopers
Most of the world (who has a cat) has a master who is a cat.
Australia as I've learned from this comment has emus as masters. Lol.... I'm sorry to all being told what to do by a bird..... even though the rest of the world has cats for masters......
We are pretty lucky. I live in Perth, Western Australia where we probably benefit the most because of the mining and oil and gas industry. Cleaners who work on these sites make a lot. My brother is a Rig Operations Manager for Woodside and earns $350k a year. Didn’t finish high school or attend university, he’s a mechanic by trade. So having your kids get a trade certificate is just as good as a Uni degree…
I worked in Stockbroking for 13 years, didn’t finish high school or attend university.
Cleaners pay varies on my sites they might as well work in the city only reason they make more is because they do a 2n1 12hrs a day.
his children won't get a job on a rig after the marxist climatista labor teal greens govt stops all fossil fuel projects
Thank you for sharing the story my son is also studying a trade diploma it would help him a bunch hopefully he will get a good pay job after he finishes his studies
Your reaction to house prices was perfect. Yes our housing market is sh*t and it's getting worse. Very poor policies.
It’s the case everywhere due to capitalism. There’s exponentially more vacant homes than homeless yet more are being built and costs go up... and some cities are also trying to force homeless off the streets but not giving them anywhere to stay
@@Cassxowary Yep NZ and Canada are insanely worse than us in terms of house prices. Just happens to flourishing late-stage capitalist societies... We need to figure out how to make housing actually affordable
Sydney is the worst for high house prices though, but there are plenty of other amazing cities to live (if you're into city living) that aren't quite so bad. Smaller cities and towns are lovely too.
Down Northern suburbs of the Gong your looking in 3-5 million can get higher, so when my mother in law died & her property sold for around 2-3 million in Thirroul once it was split between all the fam, we choose to buy up Armidale high country way New England NSW, got a great property in town with a few sheds for approx $370.000 mark approx., 100 yr old house to renovate.
Developer's were willing to pay like triple that amount but we were lucky the owners went with us, was a lease property that they owned.. very blest.
Armidale City is classified up there as in the top 10 intellectual in the world because of the UNE... uni up here, has the best schools, not far from Tamworth, 20mins from Uralla & Guyra... wonderful spot to live, get all three seasons wonderful french cafe, infact loads of cafes & restaurants, pubs.. multicultural because of the Uni... stunning scenery.. can get cold though can drop in surrounding towns to -10C... 2-3hr drive to mid north coast, 7-8hrs from Sydney & about that again to QLD... its the place to be!
If your a nurse, doctor or tradie we really need you.. plenty of jobs going up here for the rest where ever you are & need affordable housing!
Country link between here & Sydney, good public transport...
Farms need workers, & the wind farm ect... but really needs doctors!
Ps: its Live export we do & the Australian Gov has cracked down on China buying things here because of security concerns!
@@Rosebud4u1Thirroul has always been overpriced. It's not a new phenomenon.
'Uluru' is the official and traditional name used these days. It was formerly known as Ayres Rock.
i still say Ayers rock and i still call Fraser Island, Fraser Island, sorry...🤷♂
After growing up in the sixties and being told nothing about our great country I'm glad I'm finally learning the real names of places.
@@andrewcoulter323 youre not sorry you are quite happy to keep saying the colonists name and not the real name - just another entitled andrew who feels superior towards the australian indigenous people
@@andrewcoulter323 well good for you. Your parents named you Andrew but I think I’ll call you Simon from now on. 😉
@@andrewcoulter323 Nothing to be sorry for mate. Why can't we call it both white fella and black fella names, we'll all still know where we are talking about. Calling one or the other name wrong is whats wrong with the world today, too many people refuse to see others point of view or compromise.
My parents emigrated to Australia from England in 1972, my father had a trade and we as a family were accepted to become new immigrants. My parents were eligible for assisted passage, which meant that we only paid ten pounds per person for the flight to OZ. We were the last of the Ten Pound Pom's. dad had to have pre arranged employment but due to a problem getting a flight he lost that job. He went to the CES (Commonwealth employment service) and had a job the next day. Australia has just been a fantastic place to grow up in as I was thirteen when I arrived and my younger brother was five. My two older brothers who were in the RAF both came to Australia at a later date. The country at that time offered a multitude of advancement for anyone wanting to have a go. By chance my parents went for a drive one Sunday and were looking at a display of houses. The salesman quizzed them on their income and before they knew it we were waiting for our new house to be built. The cost was $26,000, for a house and land package.
My nana would correct me if I used the term immigrants .. It was "new Australians" according to her. It was only as an adult I realised my nan was a "new Australian" herself back in 1925. She arrived here on assisted passage with her brothers n sisters n adopted parents. Came out from England.
Yeah, those were the good old days.
Now it seems the welfare that attracts newcomers.
Yeah, UK people got such cheap assisted travel, but other Europeans had to pay costly fares, still well below ship cruise pricing, packed into ships travelling up to six weeks by boat, herded like cattle onto trains, travelling to be put up in tin huts at places like Bonnegilla ex Army camp near Albury-Wodonga. My family arrived end of 1959. No such benefits as the 10 Quid poms.
@@RUHappyATM except that your statement is entirely incorrect. Most newcomers aren’t eligible for welfare and have a higher employment rate than native born Australians. Our emphasis on skills based migration means that most new arrivals are employed quickly as they have skills in high demand occupations which is why they get visas in the first place. High need groups like refugees make up less than 10% of new arrivals in any given year.
@@helmuthschultes9243 my husband was a £10 POM with £20 in his pocket when he arrived aged 20 and on his own. He was picked up from Essendon Airport, driven to a boarding house (flop house) in St Kilda and left to his own devices. He had no family to support him and was lucky enough to turn 21 two weeks later as he was eligible for call up to go to Vietnam. He had felt abandoned and when his old boss found out about the lack of support, he offered to pay the government the transport costs and cover his fare back to the UK, but my husband decided to give Australia a go for the 2 years of his commitment to the £10 scheme. He is 77 y.o. this year and always says he has made a great life in Australia.
Remember while we are a long way from Europe and North America, there are big populations places that eat food quite near us like Indonesia. Also we have easy access through the Indian Ocean to India and the Middle East.
"Ayer's Rock? Isnt this Uluru?" even the 'murican knows!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you really are an honourary Aussie, Ryan!
You asked about farm sizes. The largest farm, or station in Aussie speak, is the same size as the state of Vermont, and just a little smaller than Maryland. It is called Anna Creek Station and is in South Australia. The biggest ranch in the US (in Texas, of course) is over seven times smaller.
Wow. Thanks for sharing
Because Australia has only 25 million people most land are uninhabitable.
It doesn't have to be kept cold. It's still alive.
Edit: I went to Tweed River high school, on the border of Queensland and New south Wales. It's the southern end of the Gold Coast I took surfing as a school sport, and surfboard making as a subject in high school. Also there were kids in my class that were already professional surfers with sponsorships.
I have very fond memories.
Good old tweed River high done a few year's there myself finished year 10 there in 93 few years ago hahah
Correction, southern end of the Gold Coast.
My kids went to Mur'hole 😉High (Murwillumbah) oh so many years ago
@@argielita LOL yes corrected
Very little of our live stock is shipped live these days, some sheep exports from WA is all that's left. Of the exported live stock most goes to the middle East and not our major export countries like China . Meat is predominantly shipped frozen or refrigerated.
Australia is what America aspires to be!
yep and its terrible :)
Mate, well said, sport!! I’ve visited the US many times for work and holidays and I can confirm many of the US locations I’ve visited are shite holes. Tschüss und Grüße aus Australien.
Well, We're not Terrified of Bubbles and Balloons.
Yeah until you point out we 3rd place in the world for largest gap between wages and housing.
🤣🤣🤣
Some old farming families are very rich. This is usually because they have large farms and have held them a long period of time. Unfortunately the Chinese have been buying a lot of farms here in Australia much to the annoyance of the general public. Many other farms are much smaller affairs sometimes passed from generation to generation and they often are just making ends meet.
Do not sell farm land to the Chinese any more
That rubbish in suberbs was not Australia
You are learning so much about the world Ryan.
Ayres Rock was the name given to Uluru by the British. It has been replaced with its original Aboriginal name.
I still call it Ayers rock .... 🤷♂
@@andrewcoulter323 Same.
It’s still Ayres rock. I will never secede to leftist ideology
Stuff the leftists. It's Ayers Rock.
If we want to be factual here, it's officially gazetted as Uluru/Ayers Rock, so it's alright to call it either name.
Ayers Rock is the english name for Uluru. Many Australian landmarks and cities are also now associated with First Nation names.
Sydney Opera House hasn't been a target in a war but a target wasn't far away. Garden Island where HMAS Kuttabul was sunk by a Japanese torpedo aiming for the USS Chicago in 1942, is less than a mile as the crow flies.
Life expectancy is awesome! I work in healthcare and some of my best patients are well into their 90,s and they have the best sense of humour! They greet me with “how are you, f**ker?” 😂😂😂😂
And yet, Australia is having a housing affordability crisis.
One million houses unoccupied.
@@brreed71 That's why negative gearing should be abolished for unoccupied residences.
In Sweden owners of empty houses are taxed as if they received going rate of rent on the house.
Entirely self inflicted. The vast majority of negatively geared properties are owned by the richest five percent of Australians. All the anti immigrant rhetoric is deflection to take attention away from this fact. These rich Aussies have between 5-100 properties each with many having around 30 properties in their portfolios- all for the purpose of tax minimisation and wealth accumulation and they are advantaged by the current rules to expand their portfolios by overpaying for new properties so they can write off bigger losses. This has pushed starter homes for young families out of their reach financially trapping them into long term rent.
Living in the country is much more affordable but Aussies seem driven to live in expensive cities. Covid has shown us that work from home works for many businesses and should be embraced by the business modles. Decentralisation was a cry of the 80s that needs revisiting in my opinion. Good for the people, good for business, good for infrastructure development!
The biggest problem seems to be that Australia allows foreigners to buy unlimited number of properties even just as investments, not as personal homes. Most such buyers are super rich Asian buyers who can not invest all their money in their own country. While most notions in Asia outright prevent any foreigners even when locally resident to buy and own ANY property in those countries. China is currently almost seeming to be trying to buy out Australia, both in homes, farm/rural properties and mineral/mining rights.
You need to research foreign ownership in Australia . I haven’t looked at the stats lately but the last time I did the top foreign owners were the UK ,USA . The Netherlands and Singapore and from memory China was seventh on the list ( may have changed ) .
@@keithkearns93 my main point was we allow buyers from countries that forbid property purchases to anyone not citizen by birth of that nation while openly selling anything and every thing to those nationalities.
Certainly there are huge properties owned by UK and US people and interests, but that is not a recent, past 40-50 years, fact. In some respects Australia was owned by Britain the past 200+years.
Currently Bill Gates, current largest land owner in USA, is also acquiring lots of Australian property, especially In primary production. At least most of the non Asian buyers are not hostile to Australian interests. But China? Why allow state owned China companies to buy controlling interests in mineral resources, Control rural interests including water flow to the Darling watershed. Build private Chinese Airports not accessible to any Australian airtraffic as has been done in far northern WA. Control /ownership of harbours.
@@helmuthschultes9243 Time to get into the political arena and see if you can change the situation . Good luck .
while it is true that we have loads of land to mine it also comes with a downside of taking certain minerals that insects need to locate where it is. quite a few years back I was working with a joint that fills and replants the aera that was recently mined out and even though we got all the animals for that aera that come back there was one species of spider that relied on the mineral that was mined to know where it was, now a single species isn't bad but what if they wanted to mine a spot where only a certain food source is found and we can't replant it or introduce it back to the area then that will be a huge problem later down the line.
Yep. Higher average salary and less hours of work! Hence better work/life balance for Australian workers.
Uluru is the traditional, and now official, name. It was called Ayer’s Rock, officially, until sometime in the 80s or 90s at about the same time as we got serious about recognising our country’s aboriginal heritage.
Henry Ayers was Cheif Secretary of South Australia and mate of South Australia's Surveyor General, so of course they stuck his name on something he'd never seen and didn't own
I think Ayers buggered off back where he came from when he retired.
I was born in 1998 and we were still taught Ayer’s rock (public schools) but we were told ‘the traditional name is Uluṟu. Though of course we all call it that now.
@@user-ci9vj6kt8w rubbish! It was first recorded as the local name for the area in the 1930s by the anthropologist Charles Langford. He was the first anthropologist to live and work in the area with the Yankunytjatjara and Luritja people. The languages of these and the Pitjantjatjara people are mutually intelligible and used the same word, Uluru, to refer to the area.
You still hear it called Ayer's Rock from non-Australians, but the only Australian I've heard call it that in the past decade is Pauline Hanson.
@@canberrapear7219 officially it has the dual name Uluru / Ayer’s Rock, but none of the advertising or official website references use the latter….
The spaghetti junction at about 2 mins is in Brisbane There are 4 major roads, 2 of which are underground, & access to the local streets in at least 2 places. Just before the airport link was opened people were allowed to walk about 1Km into the tunnel, I was one of them. One of the other roads is the Legacy Way which goes under the Show grounds, at ground level for a couple of Kilometres & then underground for about 4Km. That tunnel was open to the public for a walk through & I got to walk through it.
Yeah Ryan let USA & Australia be agile together 🇺🇸 🇦🇺
Great video 🙏
I have to say, as an Aussie that has always lived in Melbourne and seeing you react to my normal every day environment is very entertaining… after watching 2 of your reacts iv subscribed and will be watching all…. Love it… FAR OUR MAN
They “named” it after Henry Ayres but the locals called it Uluru waaay before.
@Rodney 1984 ok
History in Australia shows over 100 years house prices double on average every 14 years , sometimes it takes longer sometimes shorter that is an average . If you stick to the main cities it will generally stick to those averages better than remote areas . I bought a house in Brisbane in 2009 for $415,000 just sold it for $893,000 so exceeded the average a little as it was on 1012 sq mts of land but that is why i invested in it and why it beat the average , every day older your house is value goes down but land goes up . This was a rental property so we have what we call negative gearing , if my outgoings , interest on loans etc are more than rent coming in then I show a loss , say I loose $10,000 that loss will come straight off my income , so say I am in the 38 cents in the dollar tax range then I would save $3,800 so buying an investment property is subsidised but when you sell then you are up for capitol gains tax on the profit .Your principal place of residence is totaly tax free when you sell but you cant claim any losses either . A lot of people predict property to drop drastically here but I doubt we will see a crash . Prices have pulled back 11% in Brisbane but they are up 43% since start of covid so still up 22% in couple of years .
I'm in Adelaide's northern suburbs. My fairly average double-brick house cost $150k in 2001. A couple of years ago, I got a real estate flyer saying a similar house here could sell for up to $300k
My cup runneth over.
We have moved from 8th to 5th on the Human Development Index as of 2023 and we are only moving up.
As an Australian, it's nice that we have a seat at the big boy table and we punch above our weight.
We don’t punch above our weight. Hate that term. We are the 13th largest economy in the world and act like it.
When he said there had been no air raids on the Sydney Opera House so facetiously…the Opera House wasn’t built until the 1970s, a Japanese mini submarine sunk the HMAS Kuttabul in Sydney Harbour in 1942 killing most on board and Darwin was bombed by the Japanese 64 times over a year and a half and pretty much flattened..
Australia's PERMANENT migration program is basically broken down into two components: the SKILLED program and the FAMILY REUNION program (shorthand title). If my memory serves me correctly, by the mid 1990s the family reunion program was about 70% of the total permanent migration program (I stand to be corrected) . A change commenced in the mid-1990s, with a greater focus on migrants who had the most to offer to Australia's labour market and economic prosperity. Today, that 70 : 30 ratio now favours the skilled program. The TEMPORARY migration program is huge as well and covers such categories as foreign students, working holiday visa holders (aka backpackers with work rights) and temporary skilled workers who are brought in under an employer's sponsorship. The totality of Australia's migration program is a lot more complex than my summary, but you get the idea.
the new policy under albosleazy and the labor teal green govt is open borders no one turned away even if not a legitimate refugee in fact if your not and 7 courts all find that you are not a genuine refugee we will give you a house +$250,000 plus and now family reunion so you don't have to keep going back to ceylon on holidays where you said you would be killed and bring mum and dad so they can get the pension and also all your brothers and sisters and their spouses and their children - labor are back come on down no passport or id required
@@jimlofts5433 I’m just talking about the permanent skilled and family programs, not the refugee and humanitarian programs, which are outside the scope of this string.
Imagine the USA without the 2nd amendment , modifying the 1st amendment, universal healthcare and a fairer tax system. I would live there.
Same
Why? On average, Australians will live 4 years longer than a US citizen, have 3 to 4 times the saved wealth, and live in the biggest homes in the world. Aus is now number 1 on the World's Most Liveable Countries list, the US has fallen to 26. The US is rapidly climbing the rape, murder and crime statistics, it has the most mass murders and the highest incarceration rate.
If you knew what the Fabian Society/WEF has in store for the US, you wouldn't go near it. Although, having said that, the Fabian Society does currently control the Australian and New Zealand Governments. The first rule written by the Fabian Society on the 20th January, 1884, was Eugenics. Eugenics is population cleansing, extermination and breeding control. They're using it right now in the Socialist paradise of Venezuela, they will kill hundreds of frail, aged, sick, mentally challenged, unemployed and unattractive people this week using Eugenics, under the control of the Fabian Society. Millions more to come, to be slaughtered. From the richest country to the poorest, good ol' Socialism and the Fabian Society.
Every Australian Labor leader since Gough Whitlam has to be a member of the Fabian Society and take orders or they don't get the job.
Obama is a publicly declared member, the Clinton Foundation is under investigation for being a Fabian Society money laundering operation, the current world leader of the Fabian Society has mentored Kamala Harris from a young age. The Fabians intend to to kill more than half the world population, they believe only THEY are intelligent enough to decide who can live, die and breed.
Good luck, people.
The US, however, does have the best bombs. The problem will be, who controls those bombs?
They keep the USA that way to avoid hoards of caravans from Australia from smashing their borders! ;)

I brought my house in 2004 for $100K. Since buying it we have added a huge extension, done the back and fount yard(spent about $200k doing it up). a bit of renos here and their and now we have just had it evaluated and our house is worth $750k . i am in Adealdie i live like 5 min walk to the beach and a 10 min walk to the river. 25 mins to Adelaide. we have a train station 6 min walk away, shopping center online 10 min drive away. Kids school is only a 15 min walk away. Yeah i love where we live
The narrator says "there's been no air raids over Sydney opera House." Re war in the last century. I understand his point, we're very fortunate! BUT as an Australian I must point out (as most in the Northern Hemisphere have no knowledge of this) that Sydney Harbour WAS attacked during WW2 by Japanese submarines (May-June 1942) some servicemen were killed. (The Opera House didn't exist then though). And a week later more submarines started shelling the coast. But even more so, Darwin Harbour and town was pretty much flattened by earlier air raids February 19, 1942. Several hundred were killed including American servicemen on the USS Peary. (Yet US Americans know nothing about this). It was the same people behind the Pearl Harbor attack a few months earlier. The evacuation a few weeks prior of many civilians, aside from workers, kept the death rate from being even higher.
There were over 100 air raids in Australia over 20 months (Mostly Darwin but several other places too).
There was some censorship and playing down of the attacks, at the time. My great grandfather was stationed in Darwin.

Anyways, aside from that I did enjoy your reaction and the topic overall though👍.
We punch above our weight in many ways.
Opposed Air Raids on Darwin. 2 Australian Airforce Squadrons(75 and 76) and an American fighter group ( 49th fighter group,The 49ers to be exact)engaged the raids out to sea. Losses were heavy by both sides with few bombers making it to their targets ( compared to the force that was launched) and damage was spread out because of this. People don't widely know about this because allied forces operated from hidden top secret bases away from Darwin hacked out of the pristine bush, and were instructed not to engage over Darwin for fear that Japanese recon aircraft could find the bases and be destroyed and to limit damage from crashing aircraft. There has been a ton of research done recently on the Air War above Darwin, with complete records of losses, damage and aircraft kills.
@@rodneypayne4827 Wow thank you for the extra info! My great grandfather always told my nan that it was worse than the public knew. Censorship, letters to home intercepted. I read Martial Law was instated there for some time after and censoring info. And one of the elderly air RAAF survivors has mentioned numbers around 1500 over the 20 months. very different to the 240 or whatever that's always mentioned with Darwin.
I still think it's odd though that more people haven't at least heard about the attacks on Darwin. Everyone knows about Pearl Harbor. There's plenty of information out there these days about it and the anniversary is marked every year in Darwin.

Ryan, almost the whole world says aluminium (al-you-min-ee-oom). When the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists (IUPAC) was set up in 1919, they established a naming system for chemicals. The later known metal elements of the Periodic Table (77 0f 118 total elements) were given the ending -ium, indicating metal (helium an exception). Aluminum, which was originally called alumium by an Englishman, was brought into line with all the others and renamed aluminium. America said, no, we're not changing. They also said no to changing sulphur to sulfur, sulphate to sulfate, etc. So IUPAC caved and allowed both world and American spelling of these names.
Our longer life expectancy is actually not a product of a greatly healthier lifestyle. Life expectancy is based on death rates, so our longer life expectancy is more our universal health care system, commitment to community health (e.g. gun laws, universal vaccination programs, etc) and isolation. If everyone in America had access to universal health care, more people would see doctors before issues became severe, people would not die as young.
Foreign investment in houses is now being controlled more severely. We were downsizing and selling our beautiful home five years ago. We made the decision not to sell to Chinese investors, we wanted a family to enjoy living in a cul-de-sac with the bush behind, an oval and a kids park next door. Sale set up, then the sale fell through, three times. Our agent investigated and found that a Chinese investor had set up families of different nationalities to front us as the buyers. The reason the sale kept falling through was the government kept making the rules for foreign investment more and more rigorous. We were delighted not to have been duped. Final sale went to a beautiful immigrant family who we see when invited back to the block party each Australia Day.
I heard the reasoning for inserting "i" into aluminum wads because all the other metals ended in "ium"
I thought, oh total consistency is good. Apart from some metals like platinum, gold, silver, tungsten, tin, iron, manganese, cobalt, nickel, zinc, copper, mercury and lead (no, none of their Latin names end in -ium either).
@@oakfat5178 yes, as I mentioned, IUPAC set up systematic nomenclature for elements and compounds and brought aluminium in line with all the later-isolated and re-created metal elements. The later-isolated were those identified and named after Middle Ages times (aluminium was isolated from bauxite in the latter 1800s), and re-created are the trans-uranic synthetic elements. They discussed using the actual Latin names of the common metal elements which had them - cuprium, plumbium, argentium, ferrium, stannium, aurium, etc but decided it would be too difficult for the non-chemical world, even though their chemical symbols made more sense that way (aurium Au), and changing zinc etc would be too difficult for everyone.
A farmer's success depends on the location, the crop grown, rainfall (how reliable and when it falls) and quality of soil. Crops like wheat and barley grow well down south where there's winter rains and harvest time is in late spring and early summer as it dries out.
That light show you were distracted by is in Sydney each year and it’s called the Vivid Light Festival. It’s held around May/June and attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators. You should see if there’s a CZcams video on it.

Love the Aussie reacts vids
Me too. l would love a catch up with Jace. How is he doing Ryan?
4:55 yes, we say aluminium correctly 😁😁
Ryan, you should apply, you might be surprised !!!
I was born an AUSTRALIAN, and I am so thankful for that !!!
Us Australians are bloody hard workers mate. If you want to be creative, hard working or an entrepreneur Australia is the place. I had a really fun market business that averaged approximately $147.00 per hour, two days a week for 16 years. Now i just have a little online business called Treats 4 Dogs & work about one day a week instead.
Nice website 😉
huge job shortages but unemployment going up due to bludgers milking the system they wouldn't work in an iron lung and our current far left socialist govt is soft on them
Love the reaction to the average price of housing in Sydney 🤣
I LOVE that you noticed the use of the coloniser's name for Uluru! More and more First Australian names are being used again for places and I am all for it!
‘Uluṟu’ is the Aboriginal name that ‘Ayer’s Rock’ was changed to some years back now. We always knew it as Ayer’s Rock and many still call it that. There’s a lot of places that they are trying to change to the Aboriginal name. Even the city Melbourne is also known as Naarm
Ryan if you go 30 to 60 minutes drive from the cities like Melbourne you can buy a nice home around $500.000 to $750.000 in the suburbs and remember we do have quite high wagers so a working couple could own a home within 10 years if they wanted to the key is getting a good paying job example a chippie can make $1200 to $1500 AUD P/W even a factory worker can make $800 or $900 P/W
I agree. Also remember $ 600K AUD is only approx. $420 USD
I,m a chippie just retired , I wouldn't work for 12 to 1500 .My son runs a building company 85 workers they pay $32 an hr + car and uniform , tools supplied plus super plus $150 a week to keep vehicle clean so that's worth about 1600 and they can never get workers
@@davidmclauchlan8261 My son is an Industrial Electrician. His yearly salary is
$120,000 plus overtime, vehicle etc. He has worked all over Australia as well as overseas. The Companies he has worked for are International. He has been given many hours of free training. He loves the work and wouldn't do anything else.
Ryan come to Australia, I don't know what your employment history is, but it is the best country in the world. I was born in Melbourne and have lived here all my life. It's a great life.
Ayer’s Rock was its European name but that was changed back to its indigenous name Uluṟu in 1993
Nah, I still call it Ayers Rock
I still call it Ayers rock.. 🤷♂
Ryan Ayres Rock was the original name for Uluru
Australia’s biggest beef markets are Indonesia and Vietnam live exports. So nearby countries.
Australia has a shortage of many workers but not always skilled. We actually have a shortage of farm hands in Australia and are trying to get more backpackers and the like just to pick the fruit our farmers are growing.
wasn't the backpacker issue stuffed up by the previous government with the tax law they introduced.
Was gunna fruit pick when I was younger because country girls like non locals more bit then realised I'm 5 foot 1 and no one would hire me
The reason we have a shortage of farm hands is simply that most Aussies don't wont to work and live in the middle of nowhere.
You really need to Google Aluminium and realise that it's not the same word that the US uses, that is Aluminum. Also the US spelling is ONLY used in the US, the INTERNATIONAL STANDARD is Aluminium. Notice the extra I at the end that changes how you pronounce the word.
A good rule of thumb with most things is that if there are two ways of doing/saying it, the US is doing/saying it wrong.
When it comes to real estate, this video was spot on regarding ( Australia ). Allow me to give people who read these comments an example. I bought 2 properties 10 years ago, one in Australia and one in Japan. The one in Australia was 370k, the one in Japan was 253k. The Aussie property is about a 45 minute drive from the CBD in Sydney. Forward 10 years, it is now worth 700k at a minimum. It is a 2 bedroom apartment in what was a brand new building at that time. The property in Japan was a new 3 level home high up on a hill, so I have a view of the whole city under me. This house would cost me at least 10 times that in OZ, it’s only 7 kilometers from the city center. Most people assume Japan is an expensive country, when in fact it isn’t.
Wow I didn’t know apartment prices in Sydney went up so much too. Maybe your Japanese property is not in Tokyo? At least I haven’t seen a $253k house in Tokyo ever. They are more like AUD $900k on average where I stay. And they are super tiny. But in general yes Sydney’s properties are more expensive than in Tokyo but the minimum wage in Australia is twice as much of that in Tokyo.
FYI: when the video says "the sydney opera house wasnt air raided" or something along those lines, that isnt to say Australia wasnt bombed. for example the city of darwin in northern Australia was levelled by japanese bombs during ww2.
WA is rich because of our mining industry 😁 but in general Australia is pretty rich 😊
BHP and RIO are rich. We’re giving it away….
under albosleazy - In 10 years it will be WA was rich...
The only riches l tasted today was some God dam chocolate mud cake from woolies ...oh and l won 42 bucks on tattsloto. Happy valentine's day..everyone yanks you have to wait a few more hours
What is the current national minimum wage? From 1 July 2022, the national minimum wage is $21.38 per hour or $812.60 per 38 hour week (before tax). Casual employees covered by the national minimum wage also get at least a 25% casual loading.
Depends on the size of their farm and how much produce they sell. Big farms who supplies a massive amount of produce. Meat, wool and dairy are better off then the smaller ones
I've been to Europe, Asia, and the USA. I'd much rather live here in Oz. Oh, whilst I have Aboriginal blood, it's still Ayres Rock to me, not Uluru. We bought this house in 1981 for $70K, our previous house in 1971 for $15k
@7:51 I don’t think that’s Australia. Correct me if I’m wrong
you arent wrong! it is a view of mumbai skyline over some slums.
Coal and iron ore are a major exports as well. Mine workers are paid well but have to live or travel to remote locations working 12 hour 7 day and night shift rosters.

Some farms are owned by companies. My husband works for one. They grow alot of vegetables. And the owners are Millionaires.
Ayers Rock is still one of the official names. It basically has a double name. The Wikipedia article fits with my memory of the time: "In 1993, a dual naming policy was adopted that allowed official names that consist of both the traditional Aboriginal name (in the Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara and other local languages) and the English name. On 15 December 1993, it was renamed "Ayers Rock / Uluru" and became the first official dual-named feature in the Northern Territory. The order of the dual names was officially reversed to "Uluru / Ayers Rock" on 6 November 2002 following a request from the Regional Tourism Association in Alice Springs"
Really? Noone I know calls it Ayers rock. Uluru sounds way better
@@julianskinner3697 Well use the name you think sounds better. No-one is going to get their knickers in a twist: I tend to say Uluru as well, but I know what people are talking about when they say Ayers Rock.

Happy Arvo mate most of our cattle exports are live freight the walk on ships sent to not so far away places like Asia I enjoy your show see you mate from us in Brisbane Queensland
We don’t talk about the emu wars 🤷🏻♀️ Ayer’s rock is the colonial name for the red rock at the centre of Australia the local traditional name is Uluru, thankfully the traditional name is starting to become more commonly used. Australia will let a lot of people in as international students however they have a very hard time getting permanent citizenship, although a lot of students Dont come here hoping to stay as the courses they do here equate to much higher qualifications in their home countries and therefore the whole family put everything they have to send the students here in the hopes of them coming home and being able to provide for their families.
You laugh at the house prices, but in Australia / NZ that’s normal. Average (pretty bad houses) are a million dollars. You have to be a millionaire to be an average human now.
Australia is more than NSW and Vic. Time you checked out other states where you can get decent homes in lovely areas with good facilities. Double brick and tile, 3x2 loung, dine, family, 2 car garage, huge block, patio all around, 4 car powered workshop, reticulation, solar. 2klm from hospital, less to schools, uni, major shopping centre, police, ambulance, and rail station 45 mins to Perth. Beachside suburb, canals, and inlet, all for $375.
Yep, ever since Covid people from NSW & Vic bought out all Qld's cheap houses and our rent has exploded hundreds of dollars now and it's too expensive to live here now and as a Qld local (who has lived in other states) I feel I'm being kicked out of my home state because now it's cheaper to rent in the Southern States!?!?! It annoys me because they used to call us Rednecks in Qld and now they're all here & complaining that we should level up our infrastructure!?!😪 it's crazy now living is beyond a joke, ok if you have heaps of money but there a plenty of people struggling their butts off!😓
2:01 Dude that my capable!
Melbourne!🤩
Australia = Aluminium
USA = Aluminum (it's in the i before the last um). That's the why we say Al-you-mini-yum.
As for Ayers Rock, yes, it's Uluru. Wikipedia explains the name issue quite well.
Pretty much the whole planet except North America say Aluminium (with extra i) - the word ends like many other elements e.g. strontium, barium, sodium, etc. Aluminum was the original spelling when first isolated but changed not too long after. Everyone except the USA use the corrected spelling:)
Next week, we can talk about why Americans are incapable of pronouncing the"L" in solder!!!

I believe “Uluru” is it’s indigenous name, many Aussies (particularly white ones I’m guessing) called it “Ayers Rock” for many years- until more recent times when it’s been more consistently called Uluru.🤷♀️
uluru is what 3% of the population call it - but minority and cancel culture rules
Aires rock is what it was called officially before it was officially changed to Uluru which is a local indigenous name for it
I always laugh when people say we’re isolated! We’re not isolated because we can, and do travel everywhere in the world and can be there in a day. We do have access to passenger jets! LOL! Aussies travel overseas much more than Americans do, even though we get more than 800,000 thousand visitors from the US annually.
Uluṟu was called Ayer’s Rock by Colonists. It is now known as Uluṟu, the traditioal name for thousands of years, you are correct. Also, the tent city you stopped to focus on, is not in Australia. We have our share of homelessness but not like that. And, Ryan, please, it’s emyou, not emooo. Cheers!
Are we rich? Nobody told me 😊
WA is very rich.
So we’re rich by association 😊
Imagine how poor other countries must be.
@@petermcculloch4933 no wonder we get scam targeted from overseas, they think we’re rich so we deserve (can afford) to be scammed
We're pretty rich compared to most of the world. We're not as equal as some European countries..... but in the grand scheme of things, you're better off being Australian than American, British or most Europeans, Africans, South Americans or Asians!
ayer's rock was the name given to uluru by english settlers. it was recently and correctly renamed to its native name "uluru."

Hi Ryan. there must be a reason for having the most liveable cities in the world IT IS CALLED...high standards. especially IN FOOD. WE do not tolerate artificial shit in our food..l a chicken drum stick in Aust. is half the size of an American equivelant because hormones and penicilin is taboo so is bleach to clean chicken. Honey must be 100pc honey if it is labled honey.. In Australia is DOLLAR IS NOT GOD.. The people is everything You have a good one mate.
There is a reason we don't want genetically modified food here either. We can be the organic food bowl when they take GM food too far in the rest of the world.
TLDR = "I'm from Byron"
We are rich because we deserve it
Because we worked hard and turned a barely liveable country populated by cavemen into one of the best countries in the world.
@@TheHuntermj cavemen? Your fucked mate
We have minerals in the ground and huge amounts of farmland. We deserve happiness because we’re awesome, but not wealth. We’re lucky.
Are we rich? We are in the ways that count. Being born in Australia is winning the lottery of life.
Actually the fact that we have so much mineral wealth, breaks my heart. For instance, our unbelievably stupid govt, has allowed Adani to build a huge shipping jetty, for loading COAL on to ships, right over the top of a huge slice of the Great Barrier Reef. Coal should be left in the ground, it’s so polluting, but of course it’s worth way too much for them to do that. They have even started fracking all over the place, and have sold huge tracts of our best fertile land, to foreign interests. Although we are extremely big, not a hell of a lot of our country is suitable for farming
Ayers Rock? He's Definitely a Pom, Definitely British. It's ULURU Mate! Thumbs up for using the correct word Ryan!
We Definitely have a Housing Problem, though. It's So hard to buy a house ANYWHERE In Australia. Rent is Really high too.
Don’t worry about living in Sydney. Perth is a waaay better place to live….
Except the drivers, we suck in Perth 😂

Distance has never stopped tourism. The further the better for a lot of people.
Americans and Canadians are the only ones that pronounce it differently. We use the British pronunciation. After all it was a Brit that discovered it and eventually settled on the word. Alu MIN ium.
Uluru is the Aboriginal name for it. Ayers rock is what the rest of us call it.
spot on, I still call it Ayers rock !
Speak for yourself. I'm not part of what's left of a dinosaur generation.
Why’d no one tell me we were rich 😂💜
Many Australians are homeless, unable to afford rental costs or compete for available rentals ($800 per week). They are living in tents in caravan parks, in short term holiday accommodation like cabins, couch surfing or in their cars. A lot of these people have jobs and had good rental histories, they are not homeless by choice or due to addiction or mental illness. Australia is a harsh place to live for many people now. Few people can afford to eat beef steaks regularly. That has become a luxury. Cost of fresh fruit and vegetables has risen so much that many Australians are now nutritionally deficient. And you can forget about eating crayfish (lobster) one of our most lucrative food exports. A whole generation of Australians has grown up not being able to afford to eat crayfish
I am, you are Australian. I love my country no matter what
And we get the 💩 taxed out of us
and consequently have access to universal health care, subsidised pharmaceuticals, subsidised University courses and many other benefits.
@@carokat1111 😂 you do realise that we also pay 2% Medicare levy when we lodge our tax each financial year. As with education I don’t know where you get this subsidised education as a average HEX fee accumulated during studying medicine is approx $100K.
@@nicolek1676 it's a fallacy - our average tax is 28.5%, which is well below the OECD average of 34.1, and our tax to GDP ratio ranks us 30th out of 38 countries.
Our tax is literally one of the lowest in the developed world.
@@nicolek1676 regarding your comment about medical degrees, "In 2022, a medical student with a CSP is liable to pay a contribution of $11,401, while the Australian Government contribution is $27,243, resulting in a total payment to the university of $38,644 per full-time student (slightly different amounts apply for students who commenced prior to 2021). An additional medical student loading of $1,465 is provided to the university for each place, to support the high cost of providing medical education. All 3 of these amounts usually increase each year of a student’s degree due to indexation."
The very literal definition of a subsidy.
@@nicolek1676 if that is the HECs bill at the end of the course, it is probably 25%-30% of the total course fee, with the rest covered by our taxes! Based on what a doctor can earn over their lifetime, that is well within the range to pay off across a doctor's working life.
When you export cattle for beef, it's typically more economical to transport the animal live so that you don't have to worry about spoilage or refrigeration. This is also preferred by many markets who prefer to slaughter their own animals, i.e. to keep the meat halal.
Live export is abhorrent and should be banned.
G'day mate, Australia and the USA had an open-door policy for young people under thirty. Any young American could come over to Australia and start living here and it was reciprocal for Australians going to the USA. I do not know why they stopped it.
