Anyone moving to Australia?

Question

I am from England and am considering moving to Australia. I have a holiday home there but plan to move there for good. I've lived in England since the 1940s and was born here in 1946.I used to love England so much,as did everyone else and it was my home and I felt I never wanted to move anywhere else. My ancestors were here and I was born and bred here as well. My mind has completely changed and I am so shocked and sad to see what a disgrace our lovely country has become now. Compare Britain now to 50 years ago. Back then it was so much nicer.

Our NHS has fallen apart, society is crumbling, 30,000 jobs on the line, government is too soft with immigrants they need to be strict, luxury items off sale, house prices and gas prices too high, illegal immigrants ruining our culture, dirty streets, chavs, some people are nasty and rude and have no manners at all,taxes paid, noneof this green - litter waste,rubbish service,ridiculous transport, awful media, I could go on!

I remember the days when everyone was very relaxed and the 60s were a very carefree and innocent decade and everyone was very laid back. There was no rush or hassle, we just enjoyed what we had. Nowadays we can't get everything that we want because there are immigrants that are taking our money and health care and daily jobs, just almost everything about this "used to be lovely" country has fallen apart!

I considered to stay here and stand up for our country, but now there's not much we can do!

I am so fed up and so frustrated that I cannot do anything to help that I wish to leave and move to glorious Australia until everything has been put right again.

Are you leaving and do you agree with my statement?

Answer 1

Moving to Australia may teach you a valuable lesson. Australians are not the most welcoming to foreigners at all. I mean, they're even racist towards their own indigenous people. So it would be interesting for you to experience the live of an immigrant.

And it appears to me you're 'glorifying' the past. The 60's may have appeared 'innocent' and 'carefree' to you. But to people on the frontline it was an era of political and racial upheaval, where the fight for human rights raged everywhere.

Perhaps you'll realise you have more in common with those 'foreigners' in your country than you though. After all, both your reasons for moving were to improve your life in some way.

We are all foreigners, all immigrants. all human. Look into your family history.

Answer 2

Consider this - You will be THE IMMIGRANT in Australia and most metros of Australia have the same problems that you said were with England, so before moving do your home work.

Answer 3

Mike, my country now is more and more Asians coming, too. Some of them are so well off that they want to buy our mines.

My country is a multi-culture country. The land is too large and many jobs waiting for immigrants to do them.

I think it`s a matter of good and bad.

Fortunately, my country not like England so complicated and attacked by terrorists.
