Inspired by an AskUK reddit post, what is cheaper to buy in Australia than overseas?
First thing off the top of my head is our artificially stasis-locked Coles/Woolies milk prices.
Edit: Since the genuine answer in real $ is going to be.. nothing, I'll rephrase the question to what is cheaper relative to our mean/median income than in other countries?
They buy properties here because australia is a better place to retire and you get more value for money when purchasing property here. In the big cities like Beijing and Shanghai you’d pay between $1-$2m for a very small 3 bedroom apartment in a very average suburb whereas in Australia you could get a big house in a good suburb.
Another big thing is the education. The Chinese immigrate here so their children have a better chance of attending University as the education here is a lot less competitive than in China and it’s easier to get into their preferred courses.
And also the obvious stuff like better drinking water, less air pollution, and not having to worry about dodgy food items like poisonous baby milk powder.
