A woman has asked ns to share what they like about their country during a fiery rant about how much life has changed Down Under.
Sandra Abu Rabei, who has moved back to after living in Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia and Qatar said the country was going backwards.
‘Once you move back it’s not that same as what you see from overseas or how other people explain the way that they live here,’ she said in a TikTok.
‘A lot of people come and say “no it’s great, the lifestyle’s great”. But it’s honestly cooked. We are slaves to the system.
‘We go to work, we go home and then what’s next?
‘We pay so much tax, we pay so much for groceries, everyone’s so exhausted that all they do is go home and sit on the sofa.
‘I just find there’s no real community feel here but that’s not my biggest issue. It’s just the fact that we are slaves to the system.’
Ms Abu Rabei asked those wearing ‘rose-coloured glasses’ to share why they thought was still the lucky country.
‘I think that’s long gone,’ she continued.
‘It’s just not an affordable place anymore. It’s not a fun place. We are living in an actual s*** hole and there are so many better places than here.’
Ms Abu Rabei, who has three children, told Daily Mail that any of the previous countries she had lived in would be ‘great options’ to raise her kids.
‘I believe raising children in a country that has a better work/life balance with less tax to help them succeed in the future,’ the small business owner said.
‘People aren’t seeing the benefits of where their tax money goes. Speak to any Boomer and they will tell you how bad it is now compared to before.
‘I think Malaysia has a great lifestyle and Jordan has a great sense of community.’
Ms Abu Rabei said she would ‘most likely’ move overseas in the future.
Dozens of Aussies agreed that life Down Under was not what it used to be.
‘I grew up in for 38 years and I left for another life abroad for 23 years. I have just returned and I feel the same as you. has become very sad case,’ one man commented.
‘We are total slaves to the system, so blinded. It’s incredibly expensive with high taxes on everything,’ another said.
‘The element of fun is minimal and (there’s) a rule for everything.’
‘I’m from London and lived in for eight years. I want to leave because it doesn’t offer my kids the best opportunities anymore now so I feel they’d be better off growing up in the UK and having closer access to Europe and other countries which are thriving,’ a third person agreed.
But many disagreed, with some arguing it could be a lot worse.
‘Spend some time overseas in a third world country and you’d be grateful for everything that we take for granted in ,’ one person wrote.
‘Give me any day where all I see is people whining about literally anything and everything which in reality is so small in the big scheme of life.’
