No, it's because Sydney is the only city in Australia.

Maccas is the name of anyone with the name McDonnells, or anyone with a Mc.

G'day, the minimum wage is national and also includes work conditions. This video is a bit old because the permanent minimum wage has gone up a couple of dollars and the casual wage is higher again. Most people work under a minimum award wage which is higher again.

All children learn to swim in Australia enough so you don’t drown especially in the surf.

Remember is $24AUD which is equivalent to $15.60 USD . Also health care is readily available in the major cities but outside the major metropolitan areas one can wait two or three weeks just to see a doctor . It’s not a rosy picture as portrayed

We also get 10 days sick leave each year. We have 4 weeks holiday (some get more) and we get 17 1/2% extra. Plus if you've worked for 10 years at the same company you get 3 months paid leave

I Should point out. States are not as strong in ruling in Australia. States have more power in USA. That why when we buy something everything is included even tax which is GST Australia federal government collects it. Well as you know, you pay tax to you city, state and Country and that is why you have after sale tax.

wages are federal set no states are different

22 dollars an hour is only 14.50 in US....my mum had scoliosis and I had to take on the heavy housework from a relatively young age due to the impact on her....I feel for you and encourage you to ask for help and rest when you need to.

@14:00 your minimum wage might be lower in the US compared to Australia, however you get a lot more for your money in the US. Self employed might get $60 per hour, but you lose half in costs.

if you exclude Alaska, Australia is 97% as large as mainland USA

Tonia Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎

Hi Tonia, enjoyed your reaction video. This chick Lisa makes really good videos. She does a comparison between British and Australian homes that is worth a watch. She also does one on one city comparisons for those thinking about migrating. As for our ski fields, don't expect a Colorado; our mountains are not as high as yours. Snow season would last around three months over the winter. Not sure if we can host the Winter Olympics here; at least debatable.

With seeing a nuerolohist on the day implies she had private insurance or paid for it herself. Its quite unusual. Even when Ive paid myself Ive had to wait for a few months. Publicly I waited 7 yrs, in a regional area, to see a nuerologist and just gave up!

In the Uk, you can drive one end to the other, in a day. In Australia you can drive 3 days and still be in Queensland, west aus is bigger. The land mass is similar in size to the USA. I think your sequoia trees are the tallest trees really. You have bears, cougars, bobcats, mountain lions alligators and rabies. We have much smaller dangerous animals, and crocs which can be bigger than alligators. We don't have polar bears either, just great white sharks, but you have to go look for most of them.

It doesn't get cold like the US. It has more snow covered area than Switzerland. No people. No guns.

No, it's really not that much Vegemite, i agree it's a lot... but that's not a troll. He's doin' it the perfect way, toast, lots of butter so the toast is like a sponge and then the strong Vegemite taste kinda gets neutralized by the butter. That's basically everyday breakfast for most Aussie's, but you certainly could put a little less on there. I've easily had that much on toast since i was a kid.

The Australian attitude is egalitarian. No one is superior to anyone else. At least that was the culture I was raised in, her in Sydney. Every job is necessary and the person who clears the table in the food court in a shopping mall is treated the same as the person who wears a suit. We don’t appreciate people who toot their own horn, but we do show admiration for humble heroes.

Surveillance has got really good and lots of public cameras in the city. People are getting more s]desperate with cost of living so crime is steadily rising

We say whinging, wining or moaning… moaning is most popular - we use UK English more-so.

Everywhere in Aus is friendly compared to uk lol

She has not been to Mounty County in western Sydney you better lock your door there best places are the regional country towns where you go back 50 years ,the real Aussies who sold up in the cities escape to these places and the language is the same without the gibberish rubbish

She forget to list the 16th best thing about living in Australia : NO DONALD TRUMP

I’ve traveled from Australia to the US a lot over the last 34 years. I have never had a good coffee there….

G'day! The fair work commission reviews the minimum notional wage annually. It will rise on July 1st (the beginning off the new financial year here in OZ) from $23.23 per hour to $24.10 per hour... There are also penalty rates for working outside of normal hours like evenings but also weekends. Before I retired in the hospital I would get +15% for working after 4 pm + 50% for Saturdays, +75% for Sundays and +100% for public holidays of which there are 13 here in NSW each year. Then there are 4weeks annual leave plus long service leave and monthly ADO's... Confusing I know but workers here are heavily protected and looked after... BTW I love your cat! Cheers!

Australia 🇦🇺 is not just about A.F.L I'm more of a rugby league fan or more commonly known as N.R.L

If you (or anyone else reading these comments) takes nothing else from this comments thread - please know; - AFL = Australian Football League (kind of like Gaelic football, kind of not) - Soccer = soccer, what the rest of the world (apart from North America) calls football - ARU = Australian Rugby Union. Rugby Union is NOT Rugby League (although it is similar, but not the same league / competition). 'Union' or 'Rugby'is from England and Rugby League branched off from it. Union is less followed than 'league'. - NRL = National Rugby League. This is played predominantly in NSW and QLD, more watched and followed than union. But the takeaway is that union and league are 'same same, but different' sports, they don't play each other, they're different competitions... & whatever you do, do not confuse these sports in NZ. There is nothing that a NZer takes more seriously than Rugby Union.

Yes we heard about your health care system. And we also hear you constantly vote for politicians that support that inhuman system...

in general, in European countries the healthcare has shorter waiting times than in the US. Britain might have longer waiting times though. i don't know about that.

Actually Australia is the only first world country in the world that is classed as mega diverse in terms of wildlife and biodiversity. Our plants and animals evolved in complete isolation from the rest of the world. Thats why we are so unique. The US is quite similar to other northern hemisphere countries in terms of evolution.

talking about snow, there is more snow than switzerland in Australia, in winter.

Not sure why it is always said Melbourne is the place for the coffee culture in Australia…..I think it is everywhere…..I live in a suburb of Adelaide and I have at least 20 cafes within 5 minutes, and I have a top of the range fully automatic coffee machine with an attached milk fridge (the froths milk and adds it automatically) at home. No one I know lives life without their cafes and coffee machines…it really is not a Melbourne thing, though the coffee is just as good in Melbourne and even country towns like Adelaide!

we also get at the supermarket kangaroo sausages, mince rissoles, and my fav is marinated roo back straps///but i used to live in the sticks n hunt a lot n we'd get wild goat, pig, rabbits, eels, yabbies, duck, ahhhh sooo much bush tucker we never went hungry

One thing to add about our wages is that all service workers are entitled to penalty rates. The minimum wage of $24.10 an hour only applies to hours worked during normal business hours. As soon as your shift goes into the evening or overnight your wage increases by 150%. If you work on a sunday or public holiday its 200% on top of your hourly rate so that is why the workers don't complain here in the retail sector as they generally want to work these shifts and have a better work/life balance.

Australia is only SLIGHTLY smaller than the mainland USA, so you got that wrong. Also, many things are more expensive than in the USA. A big mistake people make is comparing Aussie dollars to American dollars. It makes no sense, because you are either earning dollars in Australia or America and paying in the relevant currency.

When she touched on wages for cleaners and gardeners and people who are self employed, it's actually a little bit misleading, as these people have to cover things like insurance and other costs. Things that just employees wouldn't have to worry about. That's why they charge such a high rate. A lot of Australia in governed from a Federal level more so than America. For instance, wages and taxes. We only have a Federal wage, it doesn't vary from state to state. Most taxes don't vary from state to state either. Most driving laws apply to the whole of Australia but there are some variances between the states. The interesting thing is that Australia and America are similar in that they were a bunch of states that formed a country, but it seems that Australia overall is more unified. America just seems like a bunch of states that loosely agreed to join up.

As of 1 July 2023, the minimum wage is $23.23 per hour, or $882.80 per 38-hour week. The Fair Work Commission (the Commission) has announced a 3.75% increase to the National Minimum Wage and minimum award wages. The increase applies from the first full pay period starting on or after 1 July 2024. This is for 21 and over. Under 21 is less but Im not sure what the amount is (been a longgggg time since I was under 21 lol)

I reckon the current culture that exists in Australia at the moment is quite respectful of other people's things. If they find something sitting or lying on the ground or on a bench or if they find someone's wallet, there's a pretty good chance that it will still be there for a while or someone will hand it in. More so than 10, 20 or even 30 years ago. Of course this depends on the area but I feel as if there are a lot of people now that will show respect in this regard.

Ironically in Australia, men's urinals are often just a big long stainless steel wall with a trough at the bottom. (Zero privacy). Shy guys still use cubicles for privacy if they want. (But TBH its cleaner to use a piss trough...no lifting a seat).

So you have cougars in illinois. Quite a few cougars in Sydney too, especially on Friday and Saturday nights 🤣

Yes, a grain of salt is very wise. Good vid girl, keep it up. Hi from Down Under.

my cat DAKOTA sends her regards to CODY MEOW GDAY from Adelaide

Just on the snow we get more snow on our alpine regions than they get on the Swiss Alps so we get lots of snow.

The difference in Australia is… we do not have Rabies in Australia. So, except for the venomous snakes & spiders (for which we do have antivenin available & have for decades) & the Blue Ringed Octopus… you can be in contact with the wildlife & not be so worried if a Koala bites you. Same for dogs & cats… no Rabies. It’s why our Customs & Quarantine laws are so strict. Just declare everything when you come across the border. If in doubt, say Yes… if it is permitted, off you go. If it isn;t permitted they will just take it away and you won’t be in trouble. But if you bring something you shouldn’t, and you haven’t declared it… if they find it the fines are in the thousands of dollars.

There is also penalty rates for public holiday which is 250% on top of the regular wage, for certain industries I believe.

I live in Melbourne, Australia and we only lock the door when we go to bed or nobody is home

Although there is currently a horrible housing shortage and rental crisis in Australia, we don't actually expect full time workers to live in their car! Hence, they are paid a living wage. While Americans live to work, Australians work to live. We have a lot of rights as workers.

I think the minimum wage in Australia is $23.23/hr now .. and yes .. its a federal award so applies across Australia.

the video must be a little old, base salary in all of oz is about $26/hr. or something close to that
