To tell you the truth, after three years, I didn't make much money, maybe less than when I came here, but I never had a thing that made me feel good, and I never met a person who embarrassed me, not to mention scolding people and fighting. Theft and other crimes (I am not saying that there is no crime in Australia).
What do we do to make money at home? Wife, children, parents, everyone's health. Very few people really want to satisfy their own private desires. But when I arrived in Australia, I found that government had done all this for me. All I had to do was take care of myself. At this moment I suddenly realized that I had no motivation.
Medical care is all free, children go to school free, go to college can loan, find salary in a certain amount of work before repaying the loan.
The national reward for giving birth is 5000 Australian dollars, the child's monthly allowance is enough to pay my rent, or a little more to pay for my home loan. My wife receives the same monthly child-rearing allowance as my child, and because I have a child under the age of five, government gives me a big tax grant, almost four-fifths of the time.
My back door is never locked, anyone can come into my house through the back door, of course you can take anything, but never. If you lose your wallet, someone will call you (if he can find your number) and you'll find the coin in it.
When I first went there, I lost my phone on cityrail, and it was picked up by a man at the southernmost end of the line. You know, it was a few hours away from Sydney, when it was new year, and then new years eve we went out to watch fireworks and two French classmates. One by one, my classmates received calls from a stranger, and two of them hung up when they could not understand what was said there.
The last classmate also received it. Once I heard it, I was looking for my phone. Then I answered and said that I had picked up my phone and asked me to pick it up. At that time, I found that the phone was lost and I called the operator and stopped calling. So he took his own phone and made a call to my contact on the phone. Then I didn't have a car, and I passed by train. She was still 40 minutes away from train station at work, and as a result, she sent it to her car again. I really did not know how to repay others, because I have not received such treatment in China, at that time it was just a photo taken together.
There are a few similar examples. In general, there are middle-aged and elderly people who are still very friendly, very nice, very kind, but young people are much worse, mainly teenager.. Australia is still quite xenophobic in the world. In the 1980s, in the 1990s, there was a famous sport ~ beating Indians. A while ago, I saw aussie scolding French backpackers and smashing bus windows. Just because a few French backpackers were singing in French, they thought annoying, spoke English here. On the whole, it's not racial discrimination, it's xenophobic.
But no matter how crowded it is, no one will ever come across you, let alone squeeze you (except for the World Cup), and there will be no rush to line up, so someone will always ask you: are you the last of this team?
We drive orderly, courtesy and humility, the environment of the whole social environment has restricted everyone's behavior morality. Driving there is hardly unpleasant, and if there is a person who disobeys the rules, low-quality behavior, all the people present will come together and condemn it. There will be little driving and there will always be people who give you a car to get you to.
There are few traffic jams, but during rush hour you'll find it surprisingly slow. There is no traffic police, there is only one traffic light, no one will ignore the existence of traffic lights. All cars make way for pedestrians and bicycles, including birds that stroll along the path. On weekends, almost every mall parking lot is overcrowded, and many people drive around the parking lot to find a seat or wait for someone else to leave, but you'll find that the few disabled people and mother-to-child parking spaces closest to the gate are empty.
The cost of buying a car is about 600 Australian dollars a year for the license plate, that's all! There is no maintenance fee, no purchase fee. Of course, it must be insured. My car is fully insured for less than 500 Australian dollars a year (of course, it is related to the advanced level of the car). The toll station does not exist without crossing the bridge (except for urban tunnels, which do not travel once a year and can be bypassed).
Never hear loud noises, whether hotels, stations, malls or bars (except stadiums). Smoking is prohibited in all rooftop areas and within 50 meters from children's amusement facilities.
My son beckoned to the bus at random by the side of the road, and some of the men in the car beckoned to him.
The income of the job is really good, welfare or welfare, Australia's blue collar is very much, equivalent to the harder you work, the more that should be taken, but there is no complete fairness. For example, many of the larger miners start earning at least one hundred and twenty thousand (AUD) a year, many to one hundred and fifty thousand, one hundred and eighty thousand, but the employees of mining companies where engineers sit in their offices can be as good as 80, 000 a year. And a lot of miners are half a year off the kind of vacation.
The hourly salary of low-end jobs should be much higher than that of Canada, the United States, and the United States. One hour of black work 10aud, 12aud is also very normal. Anyway, I have never done anything any lower, my language is also good, I found a full-time 18aud per hour when I had no status, pension insurance. Taxes are paid and all the fuel charges are deductible. I only work from Monday to Friday, nine to five, eight hours a day. I feel very good, and the Australian dollar has been stronger than the Canadian dollar a few years ago.
Of course, if they have an identity, they will give more money, and it is not a good job for the known abc to call the cashier at the part time, gas station. Of course, it is not a good job to go up at 25 an hour. After naturalization, some students enter the government department to work 45 hours and up. After 8 years of work, the hourly salary is the lowest in 60 or so.
Register a company with a registration fee of about 100 Australian dollars for three years and then open. No registered funds, no scope of business. There is no industry and commerce, no tax, and there are no urban management brigades. At the end of the year, fill in your own tax returns, no one cares about you, if you don't want to report, no problem, of course, look you up, you will not be relaxed in your life. There are too many similar things, like consumption and income comparison is really very cheap, quantitative, reliable quality, a lot of that. Whether or not to go out, mainly to see if they like, belonging, fit, personal pursuit. It means different circumstances for different people, good for some and bad for others.
I do not intend to compare China and Australia's good and bad, the two countries' national conditions are very different, almost no comparability. But here I get a lot of treatment that I didn't think of before (it's not about money at all), and a lot of things that I might have to work hard to get in China for the rest of my life.
This is a society with only the rich and not the poor! The rich live in one hundred thousand square meters of large manor, the poor live in 500 square meters of small bungalow; the rich drive 1 million of Bentley, the poor drive 10,005 of Korean cars; The rich can have their own private villas, the poor can spend a little money during the holiday to rent an equally beautiful seaside villa; The rich can have a yacht like an aircraft carrier, and the poor can easily buy a yacht that is enough for the whole family to go to sea.
The important thing is that you can never tell if the person in front of you is rich or poor. He obeys the traffic rules, pays taxes according to the rules, is fined by the police for plagiarism, the same one goes around in the parking lot in order to find a parking space, and the same does not smoke loudly in public places. The same barefoot walk up and down the sidewalk in front of the house.
This is the standard of a harmonious society in Australia!
