Australia's minimum wage is 23 dollars per hour...how come America's is still 7.25?

[GreatOldOne]

Too busy trying to ban Tik Tok.

[Basedbaby]

No, retarded would be if you didn’t factor in the universal healthcare or virtually nonexistent risk of your kids being shot at school

Or lack of woke agenda etc

Like, sure the wage is good but that’s not the reason for it being the GOAT country

Damn should I move to Australia?
Don’t firefighters get paid a lot and it’s filled with hot sloots?

[Akd123]

Plus you get universal healthcare
Childcare subsidy
Safest and best country in the world
Public education and heavily subsidised university for citizens
Haven’t been overtaken by woke agenda
Didn’t get cucked into mandatory clot shots


The salary pales in comparison to all the other benefits

I dont know about safest. I read if you live there you are pretty much guaranteed to get bit by a deadly bug or insect. That alone would keep me from living there. Beautiful country though. Would visit/10

That’s how we weed out the weaklings

You also need to know how to shoot fairly large calibre rifles at range for the larger agressors

[SpeakethTruth]

Now try to buy a house in Australia

It's not hard for couple to buy a house if they don't make financially retarded decisions. That said, housing is expensive in Australia because of many factors such as investors being able to claim deductions on make believe expenses like depreciation.

Based on how completely wrong your point in bold is, going to say the rest is probably also a lie.

[sivivatu]

Are you actually retarded

Read the earlier response

If anyone was earning anything near MINIMUM WAGE - which is what this thread is about - they would pay essentially zero in tax.

In fact when you consider all the government benefits and transfer payments they get, they would in fact be paying negative tax.



^^^reminds me - another benefit in Australia is public schools that actually teach things like basic maths, unlike in Cuckmerica where kids spend all day being indoctrinated on 72 gender pronouns or doing active shooter drills

Australia sucks bruh

Lifeless rat race phucks on their phones all day not paying attention(driving,walking,grocery shopping).

Lgtq garbage everywhere around the city

Public schools push lgbtq garbage dafaq you on about, had to move my son to a private school because he kept telling me his pronouns lol

People constantly on edge living paycheck to pay check pretending they're fine, it's fake af.

Pay for parking everywhere you go in the city and beaches.

Pajeets and Asians turning the city into a lawless land with their scooters and bike deliveries not obeying road rules, one minute they're pedestrians the next they're vehicles lol

Ching chong China bong Asians speaking their bush language while working at restaurants, retail,hospitality, services. Ugly af

Cab drivers negotiating prices without turning their meters on.

Only good thing is the weather,beaches and cheap gym memberships.

[Bodhy]

How many top global universities does Australia have?

18/30 are US University, including the top 5. Australia has 2, at positions 27 and 28. Lol.

Australia is mostly pissening, dead-ass desert with a 6 hr flight from one end to the other, a journey I make semi-frequently. The major population centres dot the coastline rather sporadically. And only the coastline, so of course, it will have fewer universities compared to Europe and the Americas.


Australia has the G8, standing for Group of 8. All are internationally renowned. Why do you think pajeets and other asians flock here? One reason is a great education.

[byzantine75]

Our costs of living are also quite high so it evens out
What of it

[ectosthetic]

Being dependent on the government is one of the most beta cuck things a man can do. OP and Aussies boasting about their gov bennies is so cringe and weak. They will never understand lol

[nutsy54]

This is going to absolutely blow your mind, but guess what you can buy in Australia if you decide you want it? Lmao

If the government plan is so great, why the need or market for private insurance?

[GooBaaa]

If the government plan is so great, why the need or market for private insurance?

NYS offers the same thing and if your below a certain income the NYS is hands down the best

Why buy a Ferrari if you can get a Corolla for way cheaper

Some people value different things differently

The whole purpose of markets is to provide people with choice

[Godfrd824]

But you don't get a choice. You are forced to buy the Corolla whether you decide you want to buy the Ferrari or not.

[r32gojirra]

But you don't get a choice. You are forced to buy the Corolla whether you decide you want to buy the Ferrari or not.

In this case it is a third party (the government) negotiating a whole-of-government price (set as a dollar value subsidy) and quality requirements for an entire schedule of medical procedures and pharmaceuticals, at much cheaper prices than any individual could negotiate, or private insurer would have an incentive to negotiate

But this is of course not unique to Australia by any means. Every developed economy in the world understands the economics behind universal health care and has implemented it. I would consider it one of the defining characteristics of what separates a developed economy from a third world chithole.

[kiastinger]

So in Australia, you can buy private health insurance and be heavily taxed for universal healthcare???

Yes, if you are earning over 90k aud, you have to compulsory take health insurance. The starting health insurance is around $100 per month which basically gives you zero coverage and any valuable insurance. Ppl purely take it to reduce tax. Also the public health system is garbage, its just the system is soooo bad in canada and uk, no ones talks about australia.

If you are 25+ and on min wage, then you are the problem, not the system

I mean, if you have a family, depending on the type of cover you will get ambulance, hospital, basic and intermediate dental and it will pay for private hospital so you can get a private obstetrician, anesthetists, the list goes on

And if something goes super wrong you can choose your team of cutters/radiation therapists/chemo therapists etc

And of course waiting periods for routine stuff is reduced versus the public system

And there is no such thing as a pre-existing condition, just waiting periods. Once you served the waiting period that’s it

US has socialized healthcare. It has socialized care for povertons, it has socialized care for oldcels, and it has socialized care for military members and veterans. The one difference is that these are not compulsory and one must apply to join the their respective program.

…so you can pay $400 for $3 worth of insulin

Bonus points for “pre existing conditions” lmao

Phukk off

Just looked it up. It's $19 for 1000 units, which is about 4 weeks worth for your average diabetic.

Medicare, Medicaide, and VA don't have restrictions for pre-existing conditions.

[aal04]

Plus you get universal healthcare

3h wait at hospitals. I paid about $5000 in additional taxes for medicare. and an extra $1500 for private health care. so its not free.

Childcare subsidy

its not bad. though it works both ways, makes it extremely difficult to do business

Safest and best country in the world

Japan/Norwegians. but yeah pretty safe unless you hang aroudn punchbowl after 10

Public education and heavily subsidised university for citizens

taxed up the wazoo, and woke as fuk. would not put kids through public school

Haven’t been overtaken by woke agenda

lmao we are second worst in the world behind cucknada. monleyless just got signed. we are WEF ground zero +1

Didn’t get cucked into mandatory clot shots

wtf, its possibly worst in the world. we had heavy lockdowns/fines. i wasnt allowed outside for 1 week until i got the shot.

[r32gojirra]

Lmao if you even paid any attention to those “rules” they tried to impose

Literally nobody gave a flying phukk

For the handful of fines that were actually handed out, these have now been reversed by the courts

The only people who genuinely experienced any “lockdowns” (beyond closing bars/restaurants and gyms) were in Melbourne, but they enjoyed it

There was literally no way of proving you had or hadn’t got the shot

And people under 35 could not get access to the shot even if they wanted it

By the time most under 35s -many, many months into the pandemic - were eligible for the vaccine they’d had actual COVID and therefore could not take the vaccine

They had digital covid vax certification in your service nsw app in NSW which they checked regularly. every shop had you basically showing vax and leaving phone number. i even got emails saying person has been found positive in shop x i was in 3 days ago

They also let vaxxed out 4-5 days before non-vaxxed, and this was on the premise of "maybe" others will get out (so it may have been longer than 4-5 days). And yeah they rolled back the fines, but i got my vax because it sounded like i may never get out, and i wanted my kids to play outside so i took it for the kids

nsw had heavy lockdowns. best thing about lockdowns was you had to work from home, but it wasnt efficient. so businesses suffered, a massive percentage of small business went bankrupt. Construction companies got special rules to go out and work and they were hounded by vax police

Vax certificates could only be issued if you had a myGov account and people worked out how to fake them in about 30 mins

Contact tracing was billions of dollars down the toilet it didn’t work at all

Also I was never once asked for a certificate despite spending time in both the CBD and at the coast

It was all optional

qld or nsw?

qld is a bit more nationalistic/conservative than nsw. it gets more progressive the more south you go towards vic

Dunno about your end of the chiko roll but WA was fukked mate you couldnt even get booze without proof of vaccination

[r32gojirra]

What are you talking about

The liquor stores were one of the few things that remained open during “lockdowns”

And how would you even qualify for a vaccine if you weren’t over 55

Did you forget how Morrison bungled the purchase of the vaccine and had to restrict it to old people

This guy isn't aware plenty of people on the misc are actually from Australia. And can easily refute every lie in this comment.

Just lol.
