Totally agree. I was born here, but lived happily in the US for 10 years until the pandemic (when my visa was cancelled). Upon returning to Australia, it was nothing like the place I left. Australa lost it's sense of humor, went from being laid back, to being uptight, went from young and free to an Orwellian dystopia. Crime is higher than ever before, everything's unafordable, inflation is out of control, taxation is higher than ever and the Australian Dollar is growing weaker every day.

I came to Australia 32 years ago. I love this country and will never leave. Australia is one of the best places to live. There is law and order and you can bring up your kids peacefully guiding them with your culture and family values. The education is not costly. Both my children are Engineers and they are in decent jobs. You have to be patient and try and plan your life where ever you go.

[@tinydetour]

Fair enough

[@CharGorilla]

If you're children are engineers, then they were part of the last generation of children where their parents could guide them in terms of culture and family values. Nowdays, children are indocrinated from pre-school age to believe in extreme leftist ideas, including gender fluidity, Aboriginal sovereignty, white guilt, male guilt and a fanatical fear of climate change. Children are encouraged to keep secrets from their parents, and are even able to undergo life-changing medical procedures without parental consent and in some cases, even their knowledge. I'm in the same generation as your children. I'm also an engineer, and live what you would call a "normal life". I am very lucky though, I worked for a time in the US, where I was highly paid, and received share options. This allowed me to buy a house outright when I came back to Australia. Without that, my life would be extremely uncomfortable. The only reasonn my salary is sufficient for me to enjoy what i would call a regular "middle class" lifestype is that I don't have a mortgage or need to pay rent.

[@marydasan1]

Most of the issues that you describe as the problems in Australia are mainly the problems in one of two cities such as Sydney or Melbourne. I have moved to Australia many years ago, and I am thankful to everything that this country has given me. I live in Perth and has not faced most of the issues that you have explained in this video. Tolls- I have never paid any tolls in Australia ever, It might be because I have almost exclusively driven in Western Australia. Traffic- My office is in Perth CBD. It is 40km away from my house. My work starts at 0700. If I am driving, I leave my house at 0615, reach office parking at 0645-0650 and can start work easily at 0700. Public transport- If I catch train to work, I just need to leave at 0555 from home, Park at the railway station for $2 the whole day and easily make it to work at 0700. Trains here in Perth usually run every 5 min during office time and every 10- 15 min during other hours. During special events more trains and buses run than usual. City has got free buses which travel around Perth city all the time at a frequency of 1-2 minutes. Taxes, Housing- You have said that tax is so high in Australia and you were paying nearly 50% of income as tax. That means you were in the highest earners in Australia. Most people pays around 32.5% in taxes, and with the tax cuts this year it has dropped to 30%. Once again the issues with house your purchase may be because of the place of your living. My self and many of my friends get into the housing market in Perth in the last 4-8 years and all of us were with moderate jobs could afford to buy/build a reasonably large hose on a block of land with relative ease. The housing market has changed now in the last 2 years, but when compared with Sydney it is still easy to buy a house in Perth. Time to travel from Perth to Singapore is 5-5.5 hours. I travel mainly from Perth to India and if I get on the 1345 Singapore airlines flight, I could be in my home town in India before midnight. One again the geographical position of Australia might be a curse to you, but a boon to myself and several other people. I am saying all this because most of the issues that you have faced in Australia is due to the choices you make especially in terms of the place you choose to live. A person that see your video and has never lived in Australia would think that the whole of Australia is like it, which is not true. It would have been better if your title said "Why we left Sydney/Melbourne after 15 years" rather than why we left Australia.

[@tinydetour]

[@davidagiel8130]

I’ve spent the last ten years in Malaysia and have just returned to Australia. While the cost of living is high in Australia, the quality of life is also much higher and so are the wages. As long as you can afford it and have a decent job you will be better off in Australia. The standard, the quality of air and food, the benefits from the government and the work hours and work conditions are better. In Malaysia you work overtime and never get paid for it.

[@tinydetour]

That's true. But if you can earn in dollar either through remote job/freelancing/consulting/your own business you can literally choose to stay in the premium location in Malaysia & avail all the facilities in affordable price. Have you heard of currency hacking?

Quality of life? What quality of life. Literally no white collard jobs, no doctors available or specialists available when u need. Cant afgord resturants or trip regularly as its soo expensive. I m not sure if u know,in most south east asia,u can afford soo much street food n restuarants very easily for someone with white collard job. It costs hardly nything. We cud literally go to cinamas often, afford maids,chauffers, specialist doctors at the reach of hand, shop nytime nything as its soo affordable,theres financial freedom. Give better education to kids in private schools get lot of time to spend with family n kids as we hve maids to help. What qualoty of life r u talking about in Australia where its hard to find jobs.

I have been lived and worked in India, Qatar and now in Australia from last three years. Australia is way ahead in quality of life in south east/west countries. Work life balance is unmatched. Salary is best in industry and weather is best so the taxation. Because Australia has structured taxation they offer social benififits. My both kids study in public schools an these scrolls are better than private schools in Asia. We are happy with schooling here. Owned our first home within two years of landing here. Life is good in Australia compared to Asia. But if you wants to live in a country where taxation is low, rules are not strict, without any social benefits. Then the Choice is yours.

[@tinydetour]

Yeah, we agree with most of your points, except that public schooling is better than private schools in SE Asia. Public schools really depends on the location, and while they are much better than public schools than some other countries, the international pvt schools in se Asia, esp malaysia, Thailand are definitely of higher quality

[@hilda7698]

​​@@tinydetourYes the best public school zone property price is shocking Then the only choice is going to private school which is at least 10 times the money of public school if you want a good one but you still need to pay lots of money outside school for tutoring lessons which is also another high cost So the good education in Australia is built up by huge money 😂

It's funny how everyone wants to pile all the blame on local issues when it's the world at large that's creating much of the problem, from the fact we are still feeling the effects of the pandemic through to the point Australia is only now recovering from the sanctions laid on by China out of malice. Toss in the flow-on effects from the heavy sanctions on Russia, which affected oil prices, the downturn in China's economy and need for our precious iron ore supplies, the costs and economic uncertainty of the war in Ukraine, together with the world's growing fear of another Trump presidency (which will likely hurt Australia) and it all adds up to why the world as a whole is suffering to some extent or another, though by and large the economies in Australia and the USA (where I've lived for the last 25 years) are doing fairly well at present.

Totally agree with reason No. 10 and that can be applied to any country you reside in. The key is being where you are from I guess. I personally do not have your luxury because our currency is weak and that limits young people from my country to what is available to stretch your dollars so to speak.

[@tinydetour]

Yes, I understand that it might not be directly replicated in this situation, but are there ways to make it work? E.g. are there countries where their currencies are weaker than yours? Or can they potentially increase income currently to save the required amount? Or can they temporarily move to a country that has a stronger currency, work, save, and then use it to their advantage? We moved from a country that has one of the weakest currencies in the world to Aus and had to work hard for many years to make this work... we think with the right goals, tunnel vision and a bit of luck, it's not totally impossible.

I agree with a lot of these points. I too was surprised by how many petty rules Australia enforces. I've got 3 speeding fines for going 3-4km/hr over the limit on roads that are insanely slow. Australia's monopolies are a genuine concern for the population and no-one does anything about it. Take Bunnings as an example. Back in UK you have Homebase, B&Q and a number of others for competition. This place is full of monopolies. Government workers here typically get paid 3x the salary of a UK government employee but they're not productive compared to what they earn. I find a lot of Aussies are emotionally shallow and like a 'laugh' but don't talk about feelings or anything real. I moved because of my wife and there are tons of positives. Good healthcare (although bulk billing is disappearing), good food, modern cities and good wages. Low levels of crime and poverty. But public transport is a joke. Food is too expensive. House prices are the worst in the world for earnings to cost to buy. I'm also getting used to how far it is from the rest of the world. Having said that...the UK seems to be going downhill rapidly! So you can find faults wherever you go.

[@tinydetour]

You are spot on Oliver. Because life is so 'good', it's almost like you don't have much to complain about, but in reality, you have all these other things that are slowly eating you away. And yes, you are 100% right, there is no perfect country in the world, but there definitely are places that can work you, at that point in your life. E.g. Australia was a great option when we first moved and for a number of years that we lived there. But now, not so much.

I 100% agree with everything you said. I am persuading my wife to leave Australia, but she is still hesitant because of our children.

[@tinydetour]

Totally understand, buddy. It's super important to have all parties aligned, otherwise its hard to make the move sustainable. It's harder, esp with kids, when they have established a friend circle in school. One thing you guys can consider is 'try before you buy' - meaning, go stay in a country that you might consider moving to for a few months, there are a number of countries that give 3, and 6 month visas to Australian passport holders. If that's too long, try 1 month, and check out schools, etc. There is also this company called boundless life you offer a whole package (school, accomodation, workspace and community). When u get a taste, then you can make a more informed decision. Keep us posted on how you go

I left Australia after 19 years. I lived in a very nice suburb, had a great career and money was good. However during COVID shit hit the fan. Your freedom was taken away. I agree with most of your reasons. You are happy and you both will continue to be happy.

I left Sydney for the Gold Coast and couldn't be happier! - Grocery shopping examples include $1 for a kg of Banana, Apples, Avocado, Onions etc. There are no tolls and no issues with parking. Many shopping strips are open till late or 24 hours. Housing prices are very reasonable house and land 600-700sqm within 10 mins to the airport, walk to shops and less than 5 mins to the beach are under $850,000 (3/4 bedrooms).... a lot of the issues you faced unfortunately seem to be Sydney related and you are spot on, but there are many places in "Australia" that address a lot of the issues you faced. All the best with your travels and adventures around the world! *I still maintained my job in Sydney and my employer was happy for me to exclusively work from home giving me the best of both worlds I suppose.

Im an Aussie and all I can say is this country used ro be soo much better for so long. It is incredibly upsetting what has happened here regarding the costs of living, but I did try to warn people for years, so we could try to stop this. Good for you guys - a gap year is a great idea. However, you guys have each other, and obviously some resources that allow you to have that gap year. So many Aussies dont have that luxury. Are you homeschooling your child during your gap year??

I migrated to Australia from Africa just over 10 years ago and I will not trade Australian hospitality and opportunity for anything or any place else. True, Australia is an expensive country to live in but the quality of life here makes up for the cost. Plus, I never truly had an appreciation for the air quality in Australia until I visited other countries and continents. It’s Australia first for me everyday and every time

[@tinydetour]

Thanks a lot for watching and sharing your point.. we are glad u are happy with Australia 🇦🇺

[@user-lh5kn8tv4f]

Yeh but there's a big difference between Africa and Europe, for example. So, when your a person like yourself from Africa which is a third world hole, you'd absolutely love Australia. But when your a European and you come to Aus, you see Australia as a bit of a hole.

[@CharGorilla]

I don't mean to be rude, and this may not apply to you as an individual, but please be truthful with yourself. Have you given Australia as much as you've taken from it. If not, then you're the reason that collectively, Australian's standard of living has decreased. Sure, by comparison to Africa, Australia is still paradise, but compared to Austraila 20 years ago, Australia is a hellhole.

[@a.p4066]

@@CharGorilla 1. I came to Australia with 2 degrees (including a clinical doctorate) in a healthcare discipline. 2. I completed a masters program in Australia and invested over $80k into Australia before I earned my first dollar. 3. I have worked in Australia for 10 years now paying a minimum tax of over $20k per year since year 1. 4. I am fit and healthy and have never used any Australian hospital or received any direct healthcare benefit from Australia. 5. Aside a one-off $450 COVID payment I received from the Victorian government, I have never received any direct payment from the Australian government. 6. I have served both regional and metropolitan-dwelling Aussies for 10 years in healthcare and other areas to the best of my ability. 7. I have just started 3 businesses aimed at solving some of the most dire problems in Australia today. 8. I have never committed any crime in my life whether in Australia or any place else. … should I go on and on? Just because you think I am from Africa you automatically assumed that I am a parasite in Australia because that is the BS narrative your media keeps shoving down your throats. Sorry my dear, Australia can never return all I have given and will continue to give to Australia. The fact is that I remain grateful to Australia nonetheless because that’s just who I am

[@a.p4066]

@@CharGorilla Quite frankly, I have and continue to give more than I take. I guess the idea is stay on the solution side of things and not to put the blame on anyone or group

Interesting and true for all big cities in western countries that have been living beyond their means with printed currencies since 1971 - expensive, traffic, over policing, woke curriculum, racism, steep taxes and now high interest rates. Overall deteriorating quality of life. Many people I know feel the same, just not taking the same steps. Its on their minds, just not on their mouths, yet. You could tip the reverse migration scale and country planners wouldn't want that so expect attempts to nip your thoughts in the bud.

Perth is my hometown and i live it but it is very different to what it used to be xx enjoy your gap year and i hope oneday you move back here and give it another chance. Enjoy Malaysia lovely country.

Excellent summation of the modern downfall of Australia. My descendants & I were all born in Australia, so not an immigrant nor a refugee, yet your vlog post resonates strongly with me.
