Can anyone tell me something bad about Australia?

Question

Unfortunately I'm still currently living in South Africa. I'm busy with the process to immigrate to Australia. I know it can only be better there, but would like to know from people who have had experiences and knows the little details. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Bring your own water supply just in case we run out lol.

Answer 2

the worst thing about this country is it is over regualted you can't scratch your **** without a license or a permit and it all costs money

Answer 3

There's no way I'm going to say anything bad about my own country - as far as I'm concerned it's a top place to live, warts an' all.

Answer 4

Bogans.

Answer 5

Australia is magical.  If I had to whinge about something I would say FUEL prices...... grrrrrrrrr. $1.49 per litre.

Answer 6

We're too d**n friendly... Bad things, well our politicans suck but thats kind of a universal thing, The cost of living is in general rather expensive but our wages are substantial to off side the costs. Our interest rates keep on sky rocketing, going up every other week at current. Thats all I can really think of, you wont have a problem with the people, we're very open and accomodating.

Good luck and welcome to Australia.

EDIT - People are very biased towards there own state, loads of rivalry which is mostly uncalled for. No one but yourself can tell you where is best to live.

If you have any other questions feel free to email me via the link on my profile.

Answer 15

it has to better than where you are now!...but we have a lot of deadly snakes and spiders but its all good. people are generally nice but stay away from the cities areas at night

Answer 16

I come from New Zealand and have grown up with alot of South Africans. Australians vary from state to state. Friends from Sydney think Queenslanders are rude?? So really it varies. Overall I can tell you my opinion from experiences I have had. Queenslanders are rude, there are alot of bogans here and people here drink alot- trust me a 6 pack a day is considered normal. They are also very funny, open and easy gong. I grew up on the coast and I was accepted which I found suprising as I am indigenous. I love QLD and think it is beautiful. Australians have a disgusting attitude towards their indigenous people. Overall though Aussies are cool. I wouldnt live anywhere else!!

Answer 17

Too many kiwis living over here and taking over Bondi

Cheers

(come on all you kiwis... don't get too upset. I'm sure you say horrible things about us Aussies as well. LOL)
