Average cost of healthcare in Australia
If you're a permanent Australian resident public healthcare is paid for through tax: you'll probably pay 2% of your income to the 'Medicare levy', which funds the public system. ... So healthcare isn't really free, but most necessary treatment shouldn't leave you out of pocket.Nov 9, 2017

Meanwhile the average, and this is the average home price in QLD, is $400K. That teacher, which apparently Australians don't actually care about, will have a take home pay of <$55k/per. Factor in the other astronomical costs of living in Queensland you can clearly see that living in the hellhole of Queensland, Australia is only made worse by the callous disregard people like Aussie Guy has for them. "But matey, you get $70k per year! Why can't you be happy about that?"

Absolutely a testament as to why things in Australia are so bad. The teachers are severely underpaid. I can see now that Oceania's flagship western liberal democracy is afflicted with social, moral, and economic necrosis.

Here's a typical neighborhood in Queensland:

While Aussie Guy is bragging about living in Hades' anus, let's take a look at comparative costs of living between Australia vs. the US:

Huh. Look at that. It's far more expensive to live that shithole than this shithole. Sign me the “F” up! Not.

by the way, have you ever used "Australian broadband"? I put it into air quotes because their broadband is akin to stringing two cans together and tapping out your email in morse code. No wonder they're such a technological backwater!

Some nice public housing in Queensland rent based on a percentage of ones income. A tenant can become an owner or part owner.

Cool. Same thing here.

Let me guess, you don't like to talk about Yarrabah, Cherbourg, Aurukun, Woorabinda, or Napranum? All this talk of opportunity Aussie Guy wants us to believe exists in Australia and we have this:

Looks like Australia is a shithole! Officially!

If anyone wants to see Australia, the REAL Australia, it's just one click away:

https://thestringer.com.au/18000-austra ... Tt2CvlKjX4

18,000 Australian children less than 12 years old were homeless as of 2013 and has only gotten worse, nearly doubling in just six years!! In the famous words of a well-known Australian:

Ever since it was invaded by Her Majesty's finest explorers and populated by her worst criminals, Australia has excelled at the art of shit-townery. The epic expanse of sundried crap is sprinkled with a veritable fuck-tonne of crappy towns and crappy cities.


eta: One should note: Migrants are disproportionately affected by homelessness. While 28.2% of Australians were born overseas, they comprise 46% of the homeless. Australian racism at its finest, folks.
