Why are there no games set in Australia?

Australia has a massive basin with fertile land the size of France and Germany combined.

Because it's boring and cucked.

It's mostly done near the coasts when it comes to stuff like wheat, rice and such. There are some crops you can grow out in the middle of the bush but it's mostly just stuff that can survive. Cattle and kangaroos are also ranched for meat and furs but I don't know how they do it in the middle of the red plains

there is near zero industry in australia
even if you do get a "lol" high paying jon, say 350 - 300K a year - you will still not be able to afford a house.

House go up more than that a year (9% a year rlongterm average) and a house will set you back 3 mill or so.

Os you after tax and cost of living will see you have negative income.

You realise this about 7 years after you come to australia.

It starts of this place is so "great"
then you get a job, and a btter job if there was one, and tthen you scracth your head why your getting further and further behind financailly

All the contracts and money is rigged.

They mass immigrate to keep wages low, and push houseing up.

No no no, our government isn't retarded, because they know EXACTLY what they're doing. They sell the resources we produce/extract to other countries at a premium, whatever scraps are left in Australia are also sold at a premium, whatever scraps aren't used in countries we sold the initial stuff to is sold back to us for CHEAP, actual cheap, and then sold into our market for us to use at a premium as well. They aren't retarded, they're just fucking evil

Why do you keep asking this question? Mad Max, Kao the Kangaroo (allegedly, but made by Poles), plenty of car/racing games (Forza Horizon 3, Assetto Corsa, Gran Turismo, etc.).

>Australians don't like talking about it though for some reason
Because we're culturally and spiritually in prison. We never managed to kick the shackles the monarchy put on us and it's infested every single aspect of Australian culture and lifestyle. There's a very strong sense among Australian's that trying to better yourself and breaking out of the basic bitch waggie middle class life style then you've got tall poppy syndrome and need to be taken down a peg, regardless of how talented you are or how great your accomplishments undoubtedly are. Strong class traitor resentment.

It's why the second any Australian performer begins to be even vaguely popular overseas they immediately leave because growing here is poisonous to your future.

>why
Because they were founded as a resource colony for the British Empire rather than a manufacturing one and didn't receive true independence until after WW2 by which time their economy had been built around mining/farming rather than manufacturing, and because their modern labour laws are so absurd that it is impossible to make a profit assembling things in the country.

Big time American ranchers during that era also were filthy rich and dominated local politics. The difference is the mindset. In the American frontier, the public at large generally didn't concern themselves with how well their neighbour was doing. They only worked to try and improve their own lot. If their neighbour struck gold, good for them. Hopefully there's gold on "my" land too. The reason Americans pushed into the frontier wasn't to bring civilisation to the savage wastes, as was the case in Canada or Australia or Africa. It was to escape the politics and government of the east so they could live as free and sovereign individuals.

It's not unique to them. Basically all old-worlders have that problem, due to them all being directly descended from millennia-old hierarchal monarchist societies. You have generation after generation of people being raised in a culture where they're required by law to "know their place", you end up with a society that is very anti-individual and anti-liberty. Even if they establish republics and democracies, they simply apply the old hierarchal 'defer to authority' mindset to the secular state rather than the church and kings of old.

The US is unique in the fact it was established specifically to abolish that form of government, which is also why the US is essentially the only country that believes rights are inalienable and inherent to mankind rather than a list of privileges granted by government.

Anon half the world was a prison colony. America was the same, they just put in the effort to improve the infrastructure. Australia never bothered because it was and still is just a mining colony. The infinite immigration is just to cover the operating costs and subsidies. While the property prices are just a capital sink for global inflation dollars because there is no inheritance tax.

Honestly a good idea and in 200 years Australia might be a lush continent with waterfront cities dotted around the interior. It would take big money, hard work and incredible gumption to get it done which doesn't describe the Australian people at all.

Yes, the first one is very explicitly set in Australia (they talk about the Australian government and mention Australian locations on multiple occasions), the second movie is a continuation of the first and logically takes place at least on the same continent.

Because people keep repeatedly voting in the Liberals and they keep doing the exact same thing every single time they're in, that is selling all of our resources to foreign companies for little profit for the country itself and destroying all of our infrastructure + services. Then eventually they'll get booted out because of some retarded reason before their masters decide it's time to boot Labour because they're actually targeting these coal companies who are abusing the people and creating a functioning economy. That's when the slander campaigns start simultaneously on all the media outlets nationwide because they're all practically owned by 2 guys who both side with the cock gargling Liberal party.

Anon the politicians in Australia are the biggest middlemen. They are all looking for their next jobs. Property is a static investment that you sink stable money into. With all the money that central banks print and hand out to private banks directly, they need a stable asset to throw it into. This is why the west globally has horrible property prices and inheritance tax is the primary issue. This is also exacerbated in Australia by middle class migration from shitholes and things like negative gearing.

Even a shithouse in Back Of is worth more than that. Thanks for proving my point. Richie Ritch can sell some of his stock options in Daddy's business to pay off the tax, Paddy B down the street has to sell the ancestral family home to come close to affording it. Leftist policies exist to punish the middle class for being kulak class traitors, long before they punish the 1% rich. Remember, the Leninists went after small businessowners and family farms first.

>Rich people can afford inheritance tax
Rich people can afford to AVOID Inheritance tax. There's two things that people fundamentally fail to realize when discussing tax policy
1. People with significant wealth are not tied to their physical location to the same degree the lower classes are
2. If you try to take their money they'll just fucking leave
Lower class people have most of their equity tied up in their home. A lower middle class Australian might have a net worth of $750k, but $500k of that is their house. Meanwhile someone with actual money might have $4 million tied up in a house, but it's a far smaller amount relative to their net worth.

You cannot, fundamentally, tax your way to prosperity. Increasing taxes does not generate wealth, it does not increase the amount of money the government generates even. Taxes simply slow down the economy until it grinds to a halt and you go into recession. Lower tax rates mean more spending, more spending means each dollar spent gets taxed more times as it changes hands.
Unfortunately this country is run by room temperature IQ inbreds who don't actually understand the basics of commerce.

lmao no retard, if you are SELLING your 'ancestral' fibroshack in liverpool for 1.6 million then you should be taxed accordingly. You don't have to rebuy your house. But when your cunt sisters are demanding their cut you will realise. The 'middle' class you are describing is covering the upper middle class which have portfolios in the multimillions.
The wealth disparity in Australia is primarily against the lower class.

Also small businesses in Australia are utterly insignificant and farms were destroyed decades ago.

>>693630142
I don't give a shit. There are plenty of leeches who think they are entitled to 'generational wealth' because their scumbag boomer parents own 4 properties. I've met dozens of deadshits who are practically NEETs and will never try because they know they will never amount to anything and their family is going to hand them millions.

When creating policy you also treat related areas which are affected. So yes you can repeal the CGT or negative gearing (will never happen tho, too many crabs in the bucket) but it there will still be issues with intergenerational wealth.

You are, frankly, a fucking moron. Australia wouldn't "still" be rich, Australia isn't rich to begin with. You're buying into the idiotic "Lucky Country" propaganda and failing to realize how much wealth Australia loses year over year because of the very same government graft and overreach you're arguing for more of.
Let me give you an example. Australia exports natural gas. Australia exports roughly the same amount of Natural Gas as Qatar. Qatar receives on average about 85 billion USD a year for their natural gas. Australia receives ~2.4 billion. That's where all our money goes. Taxing middle class people out of their homes won't recoup even a full percentage of that. It will simply make Australia shittier for everyone except the political class.

What you're arguing for is Australia with no money buy an infinite amount of jeets working in the mining sector so every single resource in this country can be strip mined and sold off with none of the money staying in Australia.

As of right now, Australia has 27 million people. It has ~11 million people who are employed. Of those people, according to the ABS 46% are Underemployed (ie don't make enough to pay more tax than they receive in benefits). This leaves you with ~5.5 million people. The Australian public sector has ~3 million employees, that is to say, they're paid out of tax, rather than paying into it.
In other words, Australia has no tax base.

People who actually pay tax in Australia are an EXTREME MINORITY already, putting more burden on the Australian middle class because you buy into some asinine commie propaganda is just going to turn Australia into even more of a slum full of Indians.

It's actually a deeper more complex issue.
1. Yes, Howard's changes to negative gearing and pivoting the economy to property as investment assets played a role.
2. Australia has signed with the Tranche 2 accords because of powerful developer, real estate and lawyer lobbies. This means Australia is a haven for money laundering, which is mainly done through cash property purchases.
3. Wealthy Chinese have been fleeing China for the past decade and buying up property in Australia. They aren't price sensitive and have millions in disposable cash.
4. Developers keeping supply artificially low to drive up property prices and increase profits.
5. Lack of low skilled migration resulting in very few labourers, builders and construction workers coming in to the country.

It's a perfect storm scenario.

>>693630982
Anon there is no inheritance tax here and the policy space is open for any options. Saying it has to be a certain way is idiotic because there is no way. It sounds like you are looking for a loophole to said tax.
Lets say we go that route tho
>Parent A dies, leaves asset worth 1.2 million
>Inheritor cannot afford 5% inheritance tax $60000
>A) Inheritor sells because they cannot front tax
>B) Inheritor puts the house up for collateral and easily gets $60000, lets say at an interest rate of 4% over 15 years (which is retardedly out of proportion) you would need to put forward 100 a week.

Ahh this is where you are the moron. See the reason Australia doesn't exploit it's resources properly is because it has so many crabs. The crabs are too busy fighting over those scraps. The jeets come here for the property market and the lax tax laws (more crabs in the bucket).
>The ABS 46% are Underemployed (ie don't make enough to pay more tax than they receive in benefits)
Except the underemployment isn't that at all, it is tied to hours not income. You can work full-time and earn fuck all whilst not being classified as underemployed. There is also a lesser used methodologies that tie underutilisation but again nothing to do with earnings and more tied to uber drivers who are qualified engineers.

So pretty much everything after your first paragraph is non-sense. I'm also ignoring you not accounting the APS for taxation.

The people who pay tax in Australia are not in an extreme minority. The people who pay overwhelming amounts of tax in australia are younger and lower class. The middle class claims everything and most of our tax (which as you covered in your first paragraph goes to how bullshit our resources system is.

So no, crabs leaving the bucket will if anything cause it to tip and release the rest of us.

I'm completely serious. Anyone who's poor knows the feeling. You don't get to do anything as a poor person, and you're kind of just keeping yourself alive. That's why I hope everyone has some kind of inheritance or gets lucky in another way. Being poor is like forced NPC mode.

we are talking about a nigger jew in all but skin color that made in the ball park of 5 mill in 12 years not even including my stepmom who was around most of that time that made a shitpile too that foreclosed on his house in 2011. A 150k house built in 2003 while they were making that money. When I was 18 he dropped me off at a friends house without having said anything to said friends parents about me living there, I had to broach that a few weeks before. He said he'd give me 1k for graduation. He showed up with 100 bucks and along with my aunt blocked my grandmother from putting me on the will. Your offhand comment has more concern for me than he ever did.
>>693633736
I have to assume its something to do with living through a great time and still having it good in this time of shit for most people. It's weird seeing your formerly 350 lb, 6' 10 brick shit house of a grandad drop half that weight and spending his days face down on the floor fact checking random things said by other people with a "nuh uh" or "didn't happen". He brought a lot of it on himself though spending a lot of his life sitting there watching tv, my grandma will probably make it to her 90's decently intact physically and mentally if he doesnt drag her down

Been there. I don't get enough neetbux to afford rent + food + depression meds which is funny but a bit of a bummer because if they give you downers you can just take a few of them and it zonks you out for like 12+ hours, allowing you to speedrun expiration by natural causes.

They're clever though they never give you enough to kill yourself (it would take like 10k pills or more to suicide).

>>693634197
Basically, if I was given a million dollars, I would probably continue to do nothing. I would just order food, probably smoke cigarettes, and then eventually be dead. That may actually happen one day.

>Your offhand comment has more concern for me than he ever did.

It has concern because this anon never had shit. I went to public school (it was complete garbage) and I never got to do anything in life. That means I hope everyone like me gets something before they die. Having nothing means you don't even exist, like I don't exist.

right now that is more affordable than it has been for about 15 years or so. our recently imported criminal underclass is selling black market durries in every CBD convenience store in the country. apparently it has put a significant dent in government revenue because obviously people are just buying the illegal darts with no excise paid on them
>>
>>693634462
>apparently it has put a significant dent in government revenue because obviously people are just buying the illegal darts with no excise paid on them

That shit happens at my local convenience store. They sell ciggies that are half the price. Good for anyone who's serious about smoking, I guess. I just buy Winfield because it's 1 pack of that or 2 packs of the cheap shit. What's the difference. If I smoke the two packs, I'll still be out, so I just buy Winfield.
>>
>>693634535
buy the import marlboros, they're actually better than the official ones with the cuck packets and they're half the price. they are price gouging the vapes though since the government banned them. it is currently cheaper to smoke than vape in this country. i wish clown world wasn't real
>>
>>693634829

This is what I buy if I'm on a budget. You can get a carton for _half_ the price of Winfield. Really good value, to be honest.

Where do you buy shit like this? Just any rando asian grocer / corner shop likely to have em?
>>
>>693634913
You won't find that shit at the supermarket, and you need to find a place that sells cigarettes. The one near me has it, and you can buy a whole carton for $160 or something. When Winfield 40s still existed, that would be two 40 packs.
>>

Lol, based. The only good thing about diversity is the food, but it's pretty shit otherwise. Australia seems like a really relaxed country, but it's probably number 1 when it comes to silent racism.

This is very true, which is why I'm so blackpilled by the state of things.

I'm sure they'll care eventually when everyone is a shitskin, but the two digit IQ fucks in charge of Australia are so shortsighted.

Of course a public servant like you knows nothing. The stats show at 25-45 male low/middle income pay the majority of the tax while not using any services. Where as middle/upper people pay a larger share of tax they also minimise the shit out of it and retirees are cashed up as fuck, don't pay any tax and use a shitload of services.
Then when you take into account bracket creep and higher mortality rates in anyone who was born post 1985 has is and always will be getting fucked.

This is why the fake workers 'work' at the ATO and all your managers consult out to get the real information. Just like the policy heads don't implement half the shit they get shown because the minister knows it will be used against them during the election. Fuck the mere whisper of negative gearing was in the news cycle for 2-3 weeks and it was over nothing.

That's a really dumb suggestion, buddy. There's ways to protest a garbage country without landing yourself in jail. You can just not contribute.

If nothing changes, then at least you weren't part of their machine, and they can't make slaves of dead people, which we all become eventually.

The mistake people make is a lot of things they call "loopholes" are actually things that were deliberately put there and put there for a reason. The idea the tax system is riddled with "loopholes" that allow people to cheat their way out of paying taxes is a myth. What there actually is is a lot of very specific scenarios that allow you to claim deductions or offsets or whatever and if it doesn't apply then you just pay the fucking tax.

You have to actually be eligible for it. It's not like there's all these blanket deductions that are available as long as your income is over a certain amount. It doesn't work that way at all.

Anon you can't even string a sentence together, they should be putting you in a labour camp. You don't need money, you should be stitching together wallets for food and thankful for it.

>So normally people would see something like a research tax offset of a poker machine company where they claim the cost of 'research' on the development of a new poker machine as a loophole or 'a crock of shit'.
You can't just label something as "research" and claim an offset. I've actually dealt with a few companies recently bitching and moaning about their R&D tax offset being denied.

Correct it isn't a 'get out of paying taxes free' card. It is a 'throw half your tax into one of the most stable assets' card. Some would regard the ability to negate half your tax as a bit of a loophole, despite the legalities.

You'd reckon you could make a Mr. Inbetween style game. Australians talk all funny so if the gameplay is neat it'll sell well.

What you're calling a "loophole" is literally how it works for other forms of income and yet nobody considers it some grave injustice there. Do you think, for example, if someone has two jobs with one being a WFH job they shouldn't be allowed to apply their WFH deduction against the income from their other job?
>>
>>693640827
Yeah I said it before you deal with the retard pile. It sounds like none of these cunts have accountants. As with any tax loophole there are requirements but some of these loopholes are stupid in how vague their definitions are.

Good. To paraphrase the jew from independence day If we wreck australia bad enough maybe they won't wanna come here anymore.

Not really. And you know what it comes down to then anyway? Whatever the random civil servant handling your case decides. These are no friends to big evil corporations. And then you get a short time period in which you can object (and nobody likes to overturn a previous decision) and then you have to go to court which is very expensive.

I think the WFH deduction is negligible as fuck. Even those random as fuck entitlements like "work bags" and how ever many other random ones that exist are benign. The real issue is when you are offsetting your tax in ways that allow you to substantially generate wealth over others or from others.
So this is why negative gearing is shit, because australia's personal wealth revolves around housing. Giving people who own multiple or make money from it incentives to earn more from it is the dumbest shit possible.
Same as the "research" tax for poker machine makers. Their entire business revolves around making poker machines and exploitative (fun for some sure) market. They don't deserve an incentive to cut their tax to get more people to gamble, just like any other vice.
I'd have a completely different view if it was for a medical company unless it was about how to make their drug more addictive or some shit.

This is why accountants are the biggest faggots in all of government. They are too autistic to understand morality and that is why politicians LOVE them because they just count the beans and nod their head.

The Bluey game is shit, don't buy it expecting the quality of the show
>>693630718
>its just bland the only reason i watched it is because my nephew was watching it and is the most bland cartoon i've ever seen. is this what modern cartoons are? its fucking boring for a kids show so i dont understand how adults like it
Are you a parent? That's who half the appeal is aimed at.

People also like it because it's the only kids' show currently in production that focuses on happy nuclear families and Australian culture. Everything else on Aus kids' TV at the moment is random garbage/nogged/woke/, especially the stuff we get secondhand from the UK and Canada (Shaun the Sheep is good though)

>>693641578
lmao this is where the bean counter rot really sets in. The vagueness of the law needs to court to set precedent and it is 'too expensive' except in the case where a company with actual money will hire and firm which also probably hire EY and/or Deloitte (guess where the ATO exec wants to work when he quits and where his kid works btw).
Then they go to court, judge calls it against the ATO and taxpayers find themselves with another bill. Except that doesn't matter because the taxpayers don't pay all that much in comparison to all the mineral wealth taxes which are still 1/10th (probably much more) of what they should be.

In the late 80s I played some mad max based game set in Australia where you controlled a convoy or warband of vehicles with weapons on them and had to roam the wastes in search of food, fuel and water. I don't remember anything else, I can't even call what it looked like to mind.

Yes retard, the rich people aren't the crabs. The crabs are the middle and lower class who get baited into thinking they will make it.
