australian government is the most babying, nanny state bullshit one of the highest effective tax rates and administrative burden governments in the world. have not regretted a single day since i got on that plane in brisbane and flew to england via guangzhou, bejing and amsterdam. not one day.

maybe you can imagine how it was for me after 12 years trying to just get settled and establish enough income to actually own a house after 12 years of insane amounts of restrictions and limitations and no insider benefits that i was fed up with my situation and all these other things just keep on coming thick and fast. australia's covid regime was the most draconian in the world, while i sat in bulgaria where corner stores didn't enforce masking, and famously the lowest rate of jabbing in the world.
