Just wondering where it is that you live. Your comments seem to provide a strange understanding of Australia.
I've lived in both the US and Australia and I can tell you in no uncertain terms that Australia is a much, much safer place than the US. Its not even a close contest, not that we want one. Sure in Australia there are some crime groups battling it out for control of the drug and illegal tabacco scene just as in most countries. Its always been so. Other than making news when they blow each other up it largely doesn't impact most people. There is also a more recent and bigger problem with juvenile crime but this pales into insignificance compared to what goes on in the US, not that we wouldn't like to stamp it out. There are some ethnic gang issues also which tend to make news when they go rogue with machetes in a shopping center. A new phenomenon which needs to be dealt with quickly and harshly.
You can go pretty much anywhere in Australia and feel quite safe. I have never been anywhere in Australia where I felt threatened. Sure there are the occasional knobs but nobody is going to chase you down the street in daylight if you are just going about your business. On the other hand almost every major US city has large parts where you would be out of your mind to go and would never just walk down the street even in the middle of the day. Sadly I've experienced this first hand.
On rare occasions a few Australian children occasionally arc up and swear at teachers but tend to get expelled. US kids take an M16 and mow the entire place down. Australians don't even have metal detectors in schools. Its just not a thing Australians have to worry about. In the US its become a cultural phenomenon to murder half the school if you seem upset about something and nobody bothers stopping it.
Australian borders are pretty well controlled. Illegal immigration has long been a problem but this is mostly a political problem based on different political philosophies. Most illegal immigration stops when we have a government which wants it to stop.
Anywhere you go in the world you will find crime. You will find gangs controlling drugs etc. You will find corruption. In democracies you will find demonstrations against things some people feel strongly about. We have all of that in Australia but its generally under control except when you get the occasional dictatorial politician involved trying to stamp out freedom of speech. Then it gets under people's skin and they arc up.
You should come for a visit. You may find its nothing like the news feeds that you read. Its safe and most people are just getting on with life, not rioting, not looting, not shooting up schools, not building walls, not rounding people up that we don't like, not getting obese on sh1te food, not implementing tariffs, not threatening allies, not making friends with Putin, and generally just not making stuff up.
We are on a huge island a very long way from most of the worlds BS and we want it to stay that way. We just want to know that we are safe and can go on living our lives in harmony with our neighbors without somebody coming and fooking it all up. We don't tend to care what sort of tan our neighbors have or what their national dish is in their homeland as long as it tastes good and doesn't include our pets in the ingredients list.
Come on down and see what its really like rather than what the left / right propaganda war wants you to think. I think you will be surprised.
PS. The average Australian didn't used to care about left and right politics. In fact not that long ago most Aussies probably didn't know which was which. We used to just argue over Ford vs Holden and Footy teams but the fooking Americans took away all our favorite cars thinking that they could just sell us US made cars instead so now we all drive European, and Asians cars and argue about who in the US is dumbest !
