[@oliverreno4734]

The fact of the matter is that we've been systematically betrayed by politicians that have no loyalty to native British folk. They're more interested in handing out benefits to alleged asylum seekers and swarthy immigrants, regardless of wether they come legally on an airplane or illegally on a dingy. People who work for a living are punished heavily, whilst people who can't be bothered to get out of bed and malinger with fake illnesses get free rides. The housing estate I grew up on is now 90% Pakistani, whose inhabitants are openly hostile towards white people that come to visit their elderly relatives. The UK government supports causes and issues I have no interest in; wether that be the expensive war in Ukraine that we fund, or LGBT propaganda, or nonsensical green energy policies that have no bearing in reality. On top of all of this, we're taxed the highest amount since WW2, the state pension age will be well in excess of 70 in a couple of decades, and we've all had to live with crippling inflation and poor interest rates for 5 years now, whilst for most people wages haven't gone up in close to a decade. All this whilst we have homeless veterans on the street, young people who can't afford houses, a piss poor education system that teaches people nothing, and crippling debt for anyone who wants to pursue University. The fact of the matter is that Britain is a country in serious decline, and we aren't what we once were. They key thing to remember is that all of this could have been prevented, but we've been sold out by elites who're more interested in turning the UK into an offshore banking island for the mega-wealthy, rather than a haven for normal people. The country I grew up in like a knight that's been killed on horseback whilst still in his armour; still on his horse, but slumped over and dead, yet to have fallen to the ground. You leave to Australia, matey. And don't look back. I married a South African bird, and live in NZ now. I'm much happier here.

I'm 44 and would leave the UK tomorrow if I could. I have no reason why I wish to spend the rest of my life this horrible little country. Immigration is my biggest concern because it is destroying the country and eradicating the British way of life. There are no longer opportunities in the UK and the quality of life is pitiful. My advice to anyone that can get out of the UK for a better life, do it. Life is too short. Unfortunately, I am stuck here and it is making me ill. I wish you all the best in your new life.

Hi I am a 63 year young Dane. I recently talked to a guy from NZ. I know it is not AUS, but close. He told me that over NZ a big ozone hole have taken residens. It is resulting in that you have to use a lot of sun block, several times a day. He also told me skin cancer is way higher than the rest of the world. The clouds you hate, are your friends. Just take it into your calculation. Western AUS is quite a long way from NZ, so it might be fine. Good luck.

[@truckitprayle]

Thanks for the tip I will make sure I'm covered and look like a ghost 🤣

[@turbotoaster1984]

Just be aware that house prices in AUS are very high, im about an hour out of Sydney and a 3 bed house is £420k, now that might seem a good or bad deal depending where your coming from in the UK. The big benefit though is we moved over here in January and doing the exact same job for the exact same company but over here, went from £40k to £90k, so overall we have more money in our pockets, plus its mid winter here and its 18c, thats not such a bad place to be.

[@truckitprayle]

Cheers for the advice mate, where I going is quite far away from the main cities so relative to our house prices where I currently live isn't bad at all. I'm just looking forward to not being so close to a big city and having a more peaceful way of life.

[@QuantumQuirkster]

Hi Sam. I fully support your decision to leave the UK. I'm a British citizen living in Oman since 2018. Initially, I missed the UK due to nostalgia and emotional ties, but my parents had their reasons for moving-my dad's terrible work experience and my mum's family issues. They both believed the UK wasn't the right environment to raise us. Over time, I came to understand their perspective. I turned my feelings of missing the UK into enjoying life in Oman by making new friends, enjoying the food, and embracing the peacefulness. Oman is also much safer compared to the UK, which has been a huge benefit. It takes time to acclimatize to a new country, but it's worth it. I wish you and your family the best of luck wherever your new path takes you all. Best regards.

[@truckitprayle]

Thanks mate I appreciate it, life is what you make it where ever you are I guess but you can't change the weather!

[@stevo728822]

Driving trucks in Western Australia should be quite a culture shift.

[@truckitprayle]

I'm counting on it 🤙

[@xj358]

Another bit of info for you. In all states in Australia, a heavy rigid truck licence (HR) or above (HC or MC) is exactly the same licence required to drive a bus. You only need an additional passenger transport vehicle driver authorisation (PTD) which is simply an application and then being issued by the department of transport if you are of acceptable character and meet the medical requirements. Non of those ridiculous claims that a bus is allegedly entirely different to a heavy rigid vehicle and, as such, requires a totally seperate test and licence. That rule is nothing more than a money spinner in the UK.

[@truckitprayle]

Nice one appreciate it mate.

[@xj358]

And another bit of info. In Australia you are covered by the Federal award system of pay. This means you are paid by the hour and must be paid weekly. None of those rip off all inclusive annualised salaries paid monthly like they have in the UK. Time and a half for the first 2 hours after 7.6 hours and double time after that as well as double time all day on a Sunday. That's not to say that there hasn't been numerous cases brought before the Fair Work Ombudsman of employers (particularly rural employers) who think that that rules don't apply to them and that if they pay a slightly higher basic rate, then this somehow gets them out of having to pay the appropriate overtime rates. It does not. Employers who don't pay in accordance with the Fair Work Act face significant penalties as well as having to rectify the underpayments should a complaint be made against them.

[@truckitprayle]

Awesome cheers 🫡

[@vkryven]

Good luck to you and your family! I am Ukrainian and relocated to the UK in 2015 for work. After obtaining citizenship, we visited Sydney and Melbourne and traveled around those areas in January 2024. I would definitely agree that Australia is a better choice, and if we were 10 years younger, we would have stayed there. Due to the war in Ukraine, we cannot return home, so we decided to work remotely from Albania and Spain instead of staying in the UK. The reasons are the same: depressing weather, high cost of living, and especially food prices and quality. In Australia, the food is amazing! My ex-boss relocated there and wants to retire, but he is belgian so I guess they have the same shitty weather so Australia wins again))) While we have been visiting New Zealand, our taxi driver was telling that from time to time he was travelling to AU for some truck driving contracts as there is high demand so wish you to find a great company and enjoy driving there!

[@truckitprayle]

Thanks dude appreciate it, I have got 3 friends that have moved to Australia all different parts and all 3 have said they would not come back here. So that's good enough reason alone for me. I look forward to making new friends and content whilst I'm there.

Has your partner got a country position there or have you found something? If the position has accomodation then problem solved. I don’t know the area but I live in Quindalup 1.45 hours away. Country people are the salt of the earth and there will be a noticeable slow down of pace of life and guess what , it’s rained a bucket full the last week or so but a few more weeks and it’s all over. When you have settled in you be glad to see the next rains. Crazy but true. Busselton for truck work but best to find local if possible as commute would be painfull. One for your partner.

I'm about to go in the HGV industry living in Japan as I'm a mixed Brit living in Japan, and after gaining 1-2 years experience here I'm planning on moving back to the UK (as drivers are paid next to nothing here with very little time off) to get into trucking there. If I like the job I'll be getting in the UK I'll probably stay, but if not, I'll be moving elsewhere to places like Australia. The NHS situation is a bit concerning in the UK, but would you consider going back there to be a bad move? I just simply want to earn more and have more time off, which is hard in Japan.

[@truckitprayle]

There are definitely worse places in the world you could go to than the UK, however it definitely is going in one direction and I can't see it improving under this new government. Of course I could be totally wrong and it might be all sunshine and rainbows but unfortunately I doubt it.

[@Foiiiii1]

@@truckitprayle Makes sense...it seems we all have issues with our gov as prices here in Japan are going crazy with nothing being done about it. The housing prices and inflation in Australia is a bit worrying too as well, but I guess as long as you don't live in any of the major cities you could cut down on living expenses.

The weather you can’t really control; (although it has been shite this year)! But it’s annoying, as all the problems you mentioned are man-made and can be improved , but people do nothing but moan🤦‍♂️ 1 thing you forget to mention is our appalling road network and our SMART motorways. Even taking a short trip to the beach can take half a day to get there now, with our roads 🙈. Worst motorways in the world.🙈 About the wages, I was speaking to a driver at London Gateway last week who was earning £17per hour in 2004 to drive a 7.5T truck!! 20 years ago 😬 Life will be hard in Australia for the first year, to adapt and start again. But suss it out. And it will be worth it for the rest of your life💪🙏 P.S. I’m thinking of moving to Italy in December too.

But the same path will lead to the same dark pit. Populists, corrupt politicians, lazy and ignorant people, simplifying complex issues, closing minds and borders and excluding more and more humans, being too pride, referring to the rich heritage to have at least some positivity... this not the right way. Be smarter and learn from other countries' mistakes guys. Good luck Sam!

Not a hate comment just wondering you said you was moving to Canada and didn’t just wondering what changed I’m thinking about doing to jump myself

Yeah it was the plan then all the crap with covid happened and it stalled things and we started researching a bit more, and basically Justin Trudo and 6 months of freezing weather made us reconsider 🤣

I am indeed mate!

[@hn1695]

Dont blame you, country going downhill, cost of living, rubbish weather, no work life balance etc Will you be doing hgv when you move ? ALso I have a question and id really appreciate if you can answer. Is it possible for someone with hgv license and sufficient experience to be able to work only 4 months out of the year if they want to do seasonal work and if so, does this depend on the company or agency if they will allow this and in your opinion, will it be possible or realistic for a company to take you on for 4 months or would someone with experience find it hard to get work 4 months a year? In a nutshell someone wants to live abroad 8 months then return to uk for 4 months will he find difficulty in getting a job with hgv? Hope that made sense

[@truckitprayle]

I don't think it would be a massive problem you would probably just have to keep signing on and off agencies when needed.

[@truckitprayle]

And yes I plan to do HGV driving in Australia but you never know what will happen!

[@user-qm9pe3bs2b]

Your well out of it Sam, Will

[@darrellgoodwin7434]

Did anyone mention the flies in Australia 😂

[@darrellgoodwin7434]

Me and the family have been looking at southern central France, warm most of the year, plenty of outdoors activities and the houses are literally for peanuts. 4 bed farmhouse with 5 acres 150k

[@truckitprayle]

I wouldn't go near france with the social unrest at the moment alot of brits are moving back from france.

[@marthasheilds2446]

I live in the UK and was discussing Australia this man was older English man and said he went to Australia to watch cricket match and he told me that Australians Segregate from English people and was hostile to him and his friends so the aussie are not that tolerant are they?

[@truckitprayle]

Well I find that a little bit hard to believe but maybe so, I guess if I don't go I will never know!

[@TiberiusWallace]

Tbf that sounds very English.

[@CHRISTISKINGOFORDE]

Like the channel for the HGV stuff but your part about politics was a bit clueless.. no offense. Labour and Conservative are both very similar and not one far on the left and right. Conservatives are hardly right wing at all.

[@truckitprayle]

I was trying to be diplomatic but yes they are pretty much to side of the same cheek mate👍

[@danmorley6517]

The racism on here is ridiculous. Get educated fellas.

[@truckitprayle]

Please point out what's racist and I will remove the comment?

[@Wayne-fn1sw]

Racism is bad in the UK and Australia both countries have issues around racism and segregation.

[@kayn6858]

Im a black lad born and raised in the UK. Moved abroad and havent lived in the UK for 10 years. The UK is by far one of the least racist countries in the world. Its not even close. Brits are classy, polite and respectful. Are there a few idiots? Of course. Just like everywhere. The fact is mass immigration has been an absolute disaster in the UK and the elites are hellbent on permanently destroying the country by importing some of the worst people from around the world. For context, i’ve lived in Dubai, UAE, for the last decade and they import the finest people from around the world. Strictly NO riff raff policy, including those from their own religion/culture.

[@gtd65]

It's great to get experience of living and working in another country. I've been very fortunate, possibly due to my earlier life in the Army (they paid for my HGV 1 that I never use!) and getting a taste for travel. Been to 73+ countries and 40 US States so far. I've probably spent half of my life living or working abroad. You'll find plus and minus points everywhere you go, may even find things to complain about that that you never even considered previously. What I found living in hot climes was that the summers become similar to UK (Scottish in my case) winters, where you simply don't have so much inclination to spend time outdoors. The cost of living has certainly increased in the UK but I would say that overall, it's still very affordable, compared to many parts of the world, especially, when you look at overall cost of living. I can do many things, far cheaper here, than I could even when I was working in developing countries. I wish you the best on your trip to Oz and it all works out to your expectations. From my experience, folks who leave the UK and move to Oz seem to think it's the best move ever. Others, who live elsewhere, after growing up in the UK, then move to Oz, seem less keen.
