@@blindfreddy9157 It is still a flawed method to reduce smoking, every study has shown the best method is reduction in places to smoke, a large majority of smokers will forgo the new car, or new tv in favor of smoking, many will use more credit facilities to buy expensive items as they have no money due to their smoking, end of the day most long term smokers will still pay and in the long run the policy does more harm to their family life than anything else. As a non smoker I do not care that much but I do get their point, if it is legal to smoke how is it legal to have a tax 200% more than any other taxable item in the country, it is wrong, if they want people to stop just ban it, it is more about revenue than anything else if they keep going the way they are.

Alcohol and cigarettes are highly taxed in Australia, in an effort to try and deter people from drinking excessively and smoking because it is bad for your health. As a result people think we are expensive on those two commodities. Also we pay decent wages, as a rule we don’t tip unless we have had superior service, it is not a general thing. In cafes and such there may be a tipping jar near the cash register for you to place your money in. However as we are quickly becoming a cashless society, no doubt this too, will become a thing of the past.

Australia is a big place, it can be quite different, particularly between city & city, or city to country. Some places are more open to visitors/tourist/migrants than others, so how friendly or suspicious locals are can be quite different. Often people underestimate distances. The comment about costs... Some things are more expensive due to transport costs & we have minimum wage, cigarettes & alcohol are more expensive as taxes are used to discourage spending. Backpacks also need to know their employment rights as there are far too many being exploited - there's a legal minimum wage you're entitled to.

The German students claiming it is so expensive here are totally focused on the cost of alcohol & tobacco. Owning a car for example is much more expensive in Germany than in Australia.

00:26 🗣 Australians are generally loud, outspoken, love drinking, and may use strong language; being open and friendly helps build rapport. 00:51 🤝 Australians apologize a lot, even when it's not their fault; get ready to say sorry frequently. 1:13 😊 Australians are known for being happy, friendly, and generous, which surprises visitors, especially those from countries with a different cultural demeanor. 1:31 👣 Australians often walk barefoot, which may seem strange to people from other countries. 1:57 💸 Australia can be expensive; it's advised to plan your travel route, carry enough money, and explore affordable stores like Big W. 2:29 🌍 Australia is considerably more expensive than Germany, especially for items like cigarettes and alcohol. 3:19 🌞 Contrary to expectations, some parts of Australia can be cold in winter; understand the weather difference based on your home country. 3:57 🌾 For a second-year visa extension, one needs to complete 88 days of regional work, but it might take longer due to various factors. 4:58 🗣 The Australian accent can be challenging for non-native English speakers to understand; speaking slowly or asking for repetition helps communication. 5:35 🗣 Australians have a unique way of speaking, and even correct English may be misunderstood; adapting to their language style is essential. 6:25 🐍 Contrary to popular belief, snakes are not everywhere in Australia; while they exist, encounters are rare, and they don't typically pose a threat.

Australia is bloody expensive for Australians too.

when I am travelling overseas and someone says they plan to visit Australia, I say "bring all your money, bring every cent you have, you will need it" . As a guide, take what you pay for an item in your country and multiply it by 4-5.
