Hearted Youtube comments on Chris Booy (@chrisbooy) channel.

  1. Just moved my brother and his two boys and his wife in my home it’s little cramped but we surviving. Unfortunately the home they renting is sold and now gone from 650 to 820 for rental in this market. I have to sell my home which is a temporary security. We are bricklayers building homes but now pushed into street with looming tax debts accumulated over last two years from cost of living or the hyperinflation. The carpet cleaner said to my brother atleast 80 percent of carpets he is cleaning is for rental people vacating to move in with parents he said it’s devastating. Also coffee shop fella that knows my brother asked what’s with the moving gear he told him the news he said everyone that is coming in saying sane thing it’s their last coffee as they are pushed into the street. He also said go down to the beach in Hillary’s boat harbour in Western Australia he said huge groups of cars and vans with single mothers living in car park near beach using the free showers and toilets. We are third world soon. I’m over this shit country

  2. Guess no one learnt from covid

  3. Yep my country has failed me. I'm selling up and getting out. Think i'll start in Vietnam where i can rent a modern unit close to the beach in DaNang for a hundred bucks a week. Buy a beer for a dollar and eat out every meal for 2 bucks. Also a full check up at the hospital with scans xrays and bloods is about 200 bucks and all done in the same place with results back before you leave the appointment. Average internet speed is 300mb and power cost about 10 bucks a month. Australia IS broken :(

  4. Everyone seems to forget the fact that during Covid, governments around the world cranked the money printer. For perspective, 40% of all US Dollars in existence were printed within the past 4 years. Which basically equates to a 40% devaluation of the currency. This happened everywhere around the world and is one of the main contributing factors to this issue. And government overspending.

  5. cant buy in philippines , veitnam , thailand most asain countrys ,, poland and a few european countrys , because ur not a citizen , we should adopt that rule too

  6. I noticed something was off when my poor cousins that live in a 3rd world country were living a better quality of life than I was in Sydney. They already knew how to speak 3 languages fluently, were all involved in dance and music after school. Had better quality foods, beautiful housing, community and were genuinely happy. Here in Sydney everyone I know is on antidepressants, suicidal and struggling mentally and financially. If they’re not struggling financially its bc they live with their parents. All have some kind of addiction to drugs & alcohol or have an eating disorder. Its horrible to be around this misery

  7. I moved 10 years ago to work a corporate job in Thailand. Free transport to/from work. Free lunch. Free medical. Free insurance. I live in a new house in a private estate 5 minute from the beach. Send my kids to private schools. Never have money stress. And my wife and I earn a LOCAL salary. How is it possible to have a life like this here when it's absolute fantasy in Australia.

  8. We are partly in this mess because not enough of us have been vocal enough. Respect to you! There is only 2 ways to get out of debt 1. Spend less or 2. earn more. We could start by stop wasting money like 450 Million dollars on a voice referendum and half a million on welcome to country ceremonies.

  9. Imagine your partner sells your milk to your Neighbour for $5. In the morning you wake up to find no milk and find out what happened so you go to your neighbor and he asks $10 for the milk back and it's watered down...

  10. Qatar pays zero income tax. They tax gas. Australia exports a lot more gas than Qatar, but Qatar government collects 20 times more tax on gas than ours do. There is no reason for Australian citizens to be struggling. Our government are just a bunch of prickls.
    152
  11. The whole Australian economic system is centred around huge immigration numbers. Our economy is essentially a ponzi scheme. Put a stop to that and immediately the housing crisis will end, unfortunately so will the big Four banks. Their whole business model is centred around mortgages & this is why Labour has just announced they want immigration levels to remain their current levels. Insane government spending has driven inflation to where it is. Incompetence and corruption from our socialist leaders has gotten us where we are today. The public sector is on steroids and is only growing and growing….while the private sector is dying as is our manufacturing. Net Zero hysteria has made it impossible for it to survive.Things are going to have to get much worse before they get better.

  12. Don’t forget we made Toyotas and Mitsubishis here too.
    149
  13. Australian dream for Indians and Chinese
    149
  14. you can vote for any party you want, but you cant vote away the system, the global order is self reinforcing
    149
  15. The government wants you to retire when you die
    146
  16. Yep, ultra angry too. 37, live alone, electrician in suburbia, can pay my mortgage but I can't afford all of my bills and rates. This country is dead. International forces controlling our puppet government. Cheers for this video, it's cathartic to hear someone else with the same problems and passion.
    145
  17. 99% of new houses going up in my older suburb are migrant filled/ bought.
    143
  18. Lost my job during the flu because I did not want the mandatory medical treatment. Had to withdraw my superannuation to stop the bank taking our home. Our retirement plans are destroyed and have uncertainty about the rest of our lives. Six years of work left until 67, body is painful from over 4 decades of boilermaking and welding.
    143
  19. I left Sydney 15 years ago because the idea of owning a house with a garden was never gonna happen even then. It was the best move I ever made, who wants to live in units with a bunch of weirdos anyway. Get out into smaller towns and become part of a community where people talk to each other.
    143
  20. The boiling frog analogy is spot on.
    140
  21. Australias cooked mate done like a dinner.
    139
  22. Its nit a cost of living crisis, its a government incompetence crisis. The ONLY way out is for complete reform.
    139
  23. Australia is finished for the average working class person end of story.
    139
  24. I just purchased 2 acres, 4 bed 2 bath 17 mins from a Woolworths and20 mins from a Bunnings. 240K mortgage of 1200 a month. Leave the cities it's not worth it
    136
  25. I left Australia for Vietnam had enough of nanny state oz
    134
  26. In Australia you can earn 500k per household and still get government handouts for free child care...this system is fucked and only going to get worse. Over taxed underpaid and do it until your 67 and made to rely on handouts from those horrid politicians.
    133
  27. This country feels like visiting a holiday island destination where everything is super expensive cos it’s an island that cannot sustain itself.
    132
  28. We could have an amazing life with every need covered in full with our coal and gas and mineral wealth , free medical care , top notch schooling , free electricity and public transport .
    128
  29. My home Insurer just doubled my premium and Ive never made a claim.
    128
  30. Don't expect Dutton and co to fix anything. They can't even reply to my emails about the fkn joke of Passport renewal costs policy!
    127
  31. Hey Chris, this is Trev , i live in Atherton, about an hour west of Cairns, mate ,im 53 and I've come to the realisation that home ownership is a prison sentence, even renting a (nice) house is not the dream any more , i quit alcohol, tobacco and restaurants ect anything that drains your resources, i work a single job.I don't waste any money. And for entertainment.I like camping swimming ect , mate, live simple, enjoy every day , and don't worry about what everyone else thinks , it will free you 😊
    126
  32. Australia went down since firecracker night was banned in our backyards!
    126
  33. Yes. Uk USA citizen here. It’s the same for Canada, USA, uk, Europe and NZ too.its all planned.
    124
  34. There are 1 Billion Indians, 1 Billion Chinese, 1 Billion Africans, all of them will jump at the chance to move to Australia, they will live in shared houses, they will live 3 or 4 to a room, they will travel 2 hours to work & they won't even ask for $35 per hour to make coffee. This is what happened in London They can keep the housing market pumped indefinitely. Not only that they will keep prices & rent rising for a long time to come.
    123
  35. It's the same here in New Zealand. Costs are insane. Housing costs are disgusting.
    123
  36. Blame the two party politicians
    120
  37. It is not just the government, it is also the entrenched bureaucracy much of which is corrupt.
    120
  38. Same boat as you mate. No kids, no wife, good job, worked since 18. I’m never going to own a home. Looking down the barrel of having to pay $750k for a 1 bedroom unit…WHAT AN EXISTENCE.
    119
  39. Google 31% of companies are not paying tax in Australia.
    118
  40. Hey mate, as a young man in Australia I agree with you on everything. The Australian Dream: Buy a home, have a family. That's what it used to be. But due to corruption and greed that is no longer the case. It's all by design, and that's the part that scares the $hit out of me the most. We are being f&cked royally and they're getting away with it. Unfortunately, it will be too late before the majority of people realise how bad it actually is. We have so many solutions in front of us, but nobody is doing a thing about it. And I feel we're so close to the point of no return. It has so many different negative effects on our society, and it seems one after another is popping up. From affordability, to the birth rate. The problem is bigger than most people know. We are being destroyed from within, and it's all on purpose. You're growing quite a following and I commend you for that. And it seems like you want real change. You should use your platform to launch an organisation against the corrupt politicians. I would gladly be of service, and make our country great again. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

  41. Sydney went to the dogs after the 2000 Olympics. The 1 million Aussies that leave Sydney will be replaced with "New Australians"
    117
  42. Only how you can have a good life standard in Australia is to be debt free and own your home. Never get divorce. Cook at home, do not spend if you do not need to, do everything yourself if you have the skills to do that, do not hire anyone, buy economical car and live one level lower than you can effort, just basic life and then you will be OK even without 2 extra jobs. If you can't do that, the best solution is to leave Australia to cheaper places in the world. But more or less the whole western world suffers under the same crises.
    115
  43. If you think this is bad, wait till you hear about the gas issue
    115
  44. Australia is a lost cause. I'm 32 and completely bloody lost here these days. Life in suburbia is killing me. It's so dull, so lonely, can't even connect with neighbours anymore and I spend every day inside my own head just wandering the streets feeling like a ghost. I am just living the same day over and over. Work feels pointless so I am just doing the bare minimum, which thankfully I can as I am self employed. I need community and connection with people and nature, but until more break free from the shackles of this so called 'society' and start exploring new ways of living, I don't know how I will find that.
    115
  45. Well I am almost 75 (born in 1950) and I don't even recognise this country anymore. When I was much younger, there was a strong community spirit. We not only knew our immediate neighbours, but were familar with others who lived streets away. There was optimism, people could well afford to buy a car and a house and provide for the family, with only the husband working! These days, we are drowning in a sea of division between differing opinions and ideologies, out of control cost of living and overbearing Governments, who are frothing at the mouth at the possibility of enslaving us by monitoring us with digital ID!😅
    114
  46. I’m a tradie in new home build construction for 30 years and I can’t afford a house and they want to bring in migrants that are not skilled in Australia don’t make any sense to me
    112
  47. Did you notice how the reporters were telling people to stay inside while they were outside. Who do they think they are!
    111
  48. "She'll be right mate " meanwhile the frog was slowly boiling while the majority of Aussies put thier head in the sand. All of need to accept OUR responsibility and be accountable for what we've enabled and take our country and future back.
    108
  49. Australia is cooked. Prepare yourselves.
    108
  50. Saw a labor ad today "we created a million jobs". Thats significantly less than the number of immigrants they brought in! And zero additional homes. Millions of Australians have been forced into poverty and homelessness.
