Forums - General - Thinking of moving to Australia!

I do find the data hard to believe: this pertty much sums up what i think about it

South Africa Has a murder rate of 50,000 per year plus there is a rape reported every minute, work it out. Also bear in mind that the SA govt consistently under reports crime as a matter of policy, and whereas a violent crime in UK is statistically likely to be a smack in the ear with a fist, in South Africa it is more liable to be a smack with a machette........the world is not so simple as DISTORTED STATISTICS

2 of your 3 sources (coincidentally, the ones backed up with sources) confirm that the UK has worse crime than Australia. And the European Commission and United Nations agree with me as well. By the way, nice argument there. We're not talking about South Africa here, we're talking about Australia and the United Kingdom. I'd imagine that crimes have fairly similar standards in these two countries.

The heat in Australia may sound bad on paper but you get use to it and adapt.

However bushfires are a major problem.

Ever since I heard the song "Land Down Under", I wanted to move there too. Australians ride around in kangaroo pouches instead of driving cars, too. In my opinion, that is so awesome!

wut?

 

Your spreading the rumour?

If you do decide to move to Australia, remember to always check your shoes before putting them on. You never know what might be in there!

Thank you Mr Murdoch, Australian born and released on the world to spread fear of everything.
