You need to exercise normal common sense safety practices of living in a major city, Sydney is like any other major city in terms of crime, however its much safer than major similar sized cities in the US and Europe.
I want to thank you for moving to another country, people with your attitude should leave Australia. Wish more of your type would! Most migrants are hardworking and law-abiding. sure some of their parents find it difficult to integrate, especially if they speak a language other than English, but they seldom cause problems. I am a migrant and have always worked and paid taxes, and am law-abiding. All of my children were raised in the western suburbs and they seemingly have defied your description of "retarded cretins" as they are all well qualified, have worked hard at their education and are doing well. BTW they are "White Australians" and have had no problem getting work beside migrants of many creeds and colors, and other "White Australians".
Basically you are full of hate, bigotry and most likely poorly educated and/or just wouldn't put any effort into trying to make a good life in Australia. Australia is a good country, but don't expect to have everything simply handed to you. Maybe you should have tried harder, and given the people around you a bit more respect. You could still take a chance on this and you may find yourself less angry and even may like yourself better.
Unemployment within Australia is an issue, many 'white' Australians do find difficulty obtaining employment due to employers illegally hiring cheap Asian labour, paying well below the award levels, great news for an employer, hire a 'guest worker' and pay 25% the wage that would be awarded to a 'white' Australian!! The fault lies with the Australian Government allowing Asian multinational a free hand to do whatever they like, they do not do it from the goodness of the heart, money is changing hands....
Sydney is NOT safe, it has a horrendous drug problem and theft is rampant, add that to an extremely corrupt State and Federal Government and one has CHAOS. Australia as a whole is still a British Penal Colony now run by criminals who have sold every public utility to overseas investors to line their own pockets in various overseas banks. I DID once live in Australia when it was a great country to live in, moved from Sydney to the Blue Mountains NSW, became totally fed up with the 'dump' Australia turned into so packed up and moved to the Czech Republic. At least corruption here is observable, unlike Australia which the politicians make 'state secrets' all their nefarious transactions.
Australia? AVOID the dump...
Live in woolloomooloo high amounts of needles found on the ground and in bathrooms, Needle injection room in Kingscross 5 min away. Weed, MDMA, H and Ice seems to be high around here along with homelessness, graffiti and petty bike thief.
Can see the odd prostitute or two in Woolloomooloo (Not kingscross) at 2am.
Not as bad a BlackTown where I used to stay there has been high rated of burglary (People breaking into homes not stores) down that way due to Ice usage.
Since we are in the crime thread, why don't we just talk about crime ?
What's wrong wtih the Asians being in Australia? Do the Asians commit more crime than the whites or other race groups?
A fact to note: Asians cities like Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo all have way lower crime rate than cities in Western countries like NYC, London and Paris.
Btw, people with Asian ethnicity cannot be "real Australian"? What do you mean by real Australian? White Australia also came from Europe, they are not native to Australia. Come on.
Nothing but blooming Asian's drowning at the beach and everywhere you walk. Shite !
Its a crap-hole of a place where everyone thinks the clock was shortened to 12 hours per day and cant do what's required in a 24 hour day.
Had big expectations after watching Home and Away for years, however sadly disappointed as Sydney was nothing like what you see on TV.
Came to Sydney Australia in 2017 for a wedding and hated the place.
Australia has changed so dramatically in 30 years it should now fly the Chinese flag over the Sydney Harbour Bridge - cause, its not Australia anymore.
Just another Asian slum country.
With regrets, from a USA ex-lover of Australia.
Once the successful eviction of every day Aussies has been completed, the Asian Mercedes and BMW clan's start rolling in, the peasant's are rewarded (and move to their next suburb) and a new province of China has been created (in Australia).
Not racist, pure fact.
The blocks are strata-managed but rubbish can be found at everywhere and noise can be heard at anytime.
