If you live in inner Sydney, the rent alone is $1350 pw and tax is ridiculous. I basically sold my stocks to have a down payment but then that got added on top of income. If i’d have stayed in HK, i’d have paid 0% for that.

I just treat it as paying for Australian citizenship to make me feel better and it still comes out cheaper than buying a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport. Australian passport also opens up the E3 visa to go to the USA

You don't "have" to live in Sydney though. This is something immigrants like yourself fail to understand.

It's a privilege to come into this country, its a privilege to live in Sydney. If you don't like it, you can leave.

I make less (even before tax) than you PAID in tax, yet you still want handouts.
