@@wardawg-84 Depends how ya built I guess. I went to work at Woodridge, first day the guy training said "It's got a bad rep, but it's alright". Immediately see 2 methys hauling a brand new Honda generator into cash converters 😂
I grew up in mount druitt,I never once had a problem in the area. Never once felt unsafe. As every area does, you do get problems time to time but people from areas like mount druitt will always be the first to jump in and help in any situation. I have worked all across Sydney, and even nsw doing a range of diffrent works where I interact day in day out with public. I have worked in the most prestigious areas, the most run down areas and everything in between. One thing I noticed whilst doing this is that Mount Druitt was the only place that I was offered drinks,coffee, cake and even lunch by people that saw us working out in the heat. It’s the people with the least usually have the biggest hearts, and I’ll be forever proud to say that’s where I come from.
What??? Half of them were criminals. Some of them literally admitting to bashing people. It's still a massive shit hole??They keep popping kids out and don't bring them up correctly. Just cause you haven't experienced crime doesn't mean it's non existent. It has the highest crime rate in Australia. I've been bashed walking home twice and my sister was murdered at a party. I'm sick of people thinking it's fine cause they haven't been affected. The media will always report on where the crime is occurring
Thank you, Jamie, for going out to Mounty County (Mount Druitt) to see what a day of living in Mount Druitt is like. I've lived in many different areas of Sydney, and honestly, Mount Druitt people are as normal as any other suburb in Sydney. At least you got to walk on these peoples properties, without having to stand from a distance, and to reach their front doors, with a knock here and there, getting a lovely welcome from them, even though they may seem weary of who you are, and to see how they lived, gezz these people may not have much but at least they have big hearts.... NO JUDGEMENTS, just humility and empathy from the worse Suburb in Sydney. And the people you got to converse with during your visit, were even happy to have you chat with them. The people are as real. They are as transparent as they come. Seeing your video of when you went out to the Eastern suburbs, wow, massive contrast to how people are. Mount Druitt isn't a bad suburb it's the way the media portrays it out to be. Yes there are crime and bad situations that happens on Mount Druitt, its no different to other suburb in Sydney. It's just interesting how the media never misses a moment to mention Mount Druitt when it comes to bad news, but any other suburb it's only mentioned by its districts.... ie: South Sydney, north Sydney, Eastern Sydney...🤷♀️🤦♀️ anyways, keep up the great work you're doing, Jamie. Totally love the work you continue to keep sharing on your platform. 💯👍🏽👌🏽😊🥰

Mounty was the first area I lived in when I moved from NZ, in my 2 years living out there I never had any problems, even when I had to walk home from work late at night. The area reminded me of home because I'm from South Auckland, both places get a bad reputation because the news likes to highlight a small portion of our communities and our struggles.
the rich dont want their skeletons shown to the world so they use their money and power to never have bad image said on about them "it could ruin my reputation as a douche" lol and since the poor dont have that ability all the bad things that go on as well as just having to grow up in that enviorment makes alot of ppl especially youth act tough and fit in with the culture... ppl interact with them as well as whats on the news and booom you get MT DRUITT labelled as this dangerous 'hood. the rich have just as many problems especially with drug addiction, domestic violence, white collar crimes fraud and that, it just gets tucked away behind million dollar walls and security barriers so no one can get 1 foot in door let alone near the closet... ppl who live in MTD or other places like that tend to be living on top of each other, not that theres no room in their closet but its really a metaphor and a weird reality where they dont want to hide their skeltons at home because home life might not be stable or like a safe space, plus upper and middle class ppl tend to not immediatly confront issues especially w other ppl they know, they just stuff that shit down until they snap on a totally different innocent person... ive noticed that ppl from the hood may get rowdy more often but its like their way of in the moment venting their frustration so it doesnt become a bigger issue... better to have a little light punch on and shake hands then get into serious beef like where im from the US we really keep them tools on us... i know yall aussies usually move with blades lol the funniest part is the middle class has all the same problems but for me i grew up middle class with many friends in all 3 so i got to see this shit happen in real time... we middle classers, just slowly sulk into the shadows cuz we not good enough for the rich ppl and we too good for the poor ppl... kids and teenagers dont even care that much about that but the parents DEF do and that starts soooo much drama... every class talked shit about the other two it was hilarious like yall dont even know them like that and you just assume... just like the guy in video experience rich ppl are snobby and typically very douchey in what they say or how it comes off AND ppl from the hood are some of the nicest ppl ive ever met, families who are on food stamps or struggling with shit, invited me for dinner or would pay for food if we went out and often refused the money i had to pay for my own stuff if needed... i remember a rich mom and dad took a group of us out for pizza or something and us being kids like 12 13 14 just talk to talk and say dumb shit but we were like ohhh i have 10 dollars i can get this and just bragging about having like 5 dollars but thats 500 to a 12 year old lol, you would think these rich parents who make bank live in million dollar house have BMWs would pay the under $50 it was for them and a few kids but they only paid for them and their son, made us use our money lmao... fucking dickheads bruv.
Bro this was such a wholesome vid. Absolute legend! I really like the way you put this together and your comments are spot on. If more Australians watched your content in place of the news we would have much better communities and a much better country. Keep up the good content, got a sub from me.

@@martyp7401 You can be poor and still be a good person. Plenty of services available for food, clothing, shelter etc. The gang mentality being pushed by rap groups doesn't help. My sister was a casualty of the postcode war . They've about to release a doco based on a certain rap group that pushes the post code war. It makes me so angry that they're attempting to say there misunderstood and police won't leave them alone. Just listen to the dam lyrics. It's all about joining up and killing people
@paulbunyan6024 some would ..most probs wouldn't..they give their last and expect nothing in return for the most part.. this is why the gospel was preached to the poor
One has everything to lose other has nothing to lose. If these poor ghetto people become rich this same people will do the same. Most lottery winners go broke for a reason.
I had friends in Mt Druitt, I used to visit regularly and never had any problems. I lived in Lakemba which I considered to be far worse, drive by shootings, burnt out cars on the streets etc, not sure what it's like now.
@@deankosta6216 I lived there around the end of the 90s, hearing shots wasn't uncommon, the street behind me had the reputation as the worst in Sydney at the time.

This is sick man, love to see a non biased documentary on Mt Druitt that showcases both sides. There's good and bad in every area. Great job on the video, you gained a new subscriber
man as a content creator , that was great i watched the whole thing, really well put together , also had just enough to keep me hanging on, great video mate ! Can appreciate a great put together now ive started creating my self, liked and subscribed.

While this may be a much more respectful take on the area than what's been covered by mainstream media, it still fuels the stigma that many of us, who grew up in the area, still battle. It was like you went out of your way to find every derro in the neighbourhood and they were the only ones willing to talk on camera. I grew up literally 3 houses down from where you were filming @4:20 and my parents still live there. Majority of the people I went to school with at Bidwill High School have gone on to do well in life, with well established careers, etc. But unfortunately, some never escape the perpetual cycle of generational dysfunction that's been fuelled by decades of poor government policy, created by out-of-touch bureaucrats who have failed to understand the needs of the people in this area, who really need a 'hand-up', rather than a 'hand-out'.
You must be joking. stop making excuses for this area which is full of derros who are too lazy to look for a job. if they have 10 kids they can work, if they want to drink at the morning time then they can also work. They are FULL OF EXCUSES!
@@Username-yt4mh the Samoans were the only normal ones, because they look after their kids, instead of drinking all day and they WORK. bogans are embaressing the anglo saxxon race.
The guy that got aggressive was speaking absolute truth Quote At least we have a house..These people live in a real reality of Aussie hardship and survival. Good on you mate appreciating what you do have. He would know the truth of homeless.❤❤
Yeah at least they've got somewhere to live coz things could definitely be a lot worse and good on him for sticking up for himself too. No need to put him on show.
Mate Ive lived on Sydney’s Northern beaches my whole life and never ever thought I’d end up homeless living in a van, it’s not just Mt Druitt that’s falling about it the whole of Sydney, let me know if you ever come to Sydney’s Northern beaches I’ll be happy to show you around. So many people so many people are homeless all over Sydney it’s sickening hey, before the van I lived in the van. I lived in the sane unit for 19 years but covid fucked everything up big tine
Air BNB wrecked the rental crisis. Write to your local member. Put pressure on them. I’ve wrote to them Also. They need to know. This has never been an issue
Great attitude Jamie, we all need to be kinder and more understanding and hopefully, we can see less crime too. Mental and physical health is important to get well for all of use
Good on you Jamie, you're a good lad and hey you've opened some eyes today. Living in Mt. Druitt obviously isn't as smooth sailing as the eastern suburbs but at least they will give you the time of day and keep it real with you. Which I think is worth a bit more than the privileged high horses shooing you away on sight.
This reminds me of a Russian busker family I was close too ! They relocated to Glebe from Mt Druit ! Amazing people ! I have met the most lovely people ,family orientated ,multicultural ! It's true that the media should not be believed !
@@drdavinsky His half Chinese half Australian, his dad is a famous movie director , I feel he has gone out of his way to interview the most Bogan and uneducated people in that suburb even though I’m sure there would be alot of hard working educated people living in the same suburb aswell. I feel he was mocking them .. for ratings most likely!!
I’m from the northern beaches & finally went to Westfield in mount druitt a few months ago as a family friend shops there by herself and was adamant the best pho is served there. Was surprised by how normal & safe I felt, was expecting something different based on the mainstream media news I used to watch. I think the northern beaches has scarier people walking & driving around!
I live in willmot and moved in 2021 when my friends said I am nutcase. I work as network engineer and suburb has changed a lot in 2 years. I hate the change. I love to hang around old people who have stories to tell and struggles they had. Unfortunately houses are being sold and new people are moving in.
I lived in the suburbs of the mount druitt area (shalvey) for 16 years of my life. ( I'm now 24 ) Here's what I have to say; the surrounding suburbs of mount druitt or places like Whalan, Emmo (Emerton), bidwill, tregear and shalvey aren't as bad as some people make it out to be. If you aren't looking for trouble, you won't find it, you just gotta know people and sure sometimes It can find you, but shit that's life and the game we all played / still play. The community is always looking out for each other and honestly if you've lived in those area's you know almost everyone either in your street or your suburb. The adults, the kids and fuck even the dog out the back, you've either been into everyone's house or everyone's been in yours for either piss ups, the cards night or a cook out / BBQ. In the summer it was standing out the front with either a blow up pool or sprinkler and if the neighbors kids were around, it was water fights with water balloons that would cost 50c and leave red marks all over you. And in the winters it was always the empty oil drum and a fire with beer, cheap soft drink cans and a sound system blasting music till the jacks arrived and told you to shut up 😂 There is problems in some areas but hey, when is there not problems in this world from time to time. I still call it my home even though I don't live anywhere near NSW or MD anymore 2770 all love from me 🖤🌕❤
My Dad grew up in Mt. Druitt in the 60s/70s - he's been shot at, and had a lot of fights and trouble. A lot of it was bush back then and nothing like it is now.
@@magyaradam prolly too hard for you to understand but they grew up in a wild abuse and trauma filled enviorment with constant chaotic changes like getting kicked out or having to live with different parents or guardians... the mental and physical trauma from abuse and neglect... drug addiction either themselves or ppl around them. you think many of those ppl ever went to therapy when it really mattered at younger ages shit even now you think they want to... i didnt grow up in hood but i had alot of bad shit happen when i was little kid up until adult right now... therapy is great and im sure many ppl including myself need it and will really help me heal but its hard enought going day to day having random thoughts pop into your head and trying to either work thru them yourself or push them back down... i just push them down as bad as it is, i have to be able to funciton day to day so i can work and no just lay in my room on floor staring at ceiling trying to work shit out in my head cuz its literally one thing bothers you and when you try to work stuff out other shit pops up that you forgot about... THAT is exactly what will happen in therapy except at far bigger level where they WANT to talk and talk and talk about it... tbh i dont wanna pay money to feel like im reliving my trauma all over again, so i find healthy ways to distract myself and do drugs too. most of these ppl find simple life enjoyment kicking back with their homies in a safe place where no one bothers them having some brewskis and not thinking about their problems for an hour or two or three or however long they can make that moment last. also most of them that go find a job get put in something with ppl they have nothing in common with so they feel alone or lesser then because the other ppl are from normal areas not the hood, no one like them in most jobs so its hard to feel part of something when they nothing like you... shit alot of those ppl not even ones in video but the real "searchers" they HATE working... why live a life of crime if the easy/good route was really like that? they have to work they ass off for 1-2000 a month when they can hit a solid lick on whatever they good at hitting and make 1-2000 in a day... or sell drugs, thats fast money that anyone with half brain can do especialy given ppl drop out of school so finding jobs like that are hard.
@@zyxlio4055 HAHAHAHAHA you really that dumb aren't ya? took time out your day to write to me about a comment that you didnt even read to let me know you arent gonna read it... the shit i dont get is you not even part of the convo so you read the OG comment and clicked replies and saw mine was too much for you tiny brain and said no way joes lemme tell him thats above my reading level xDDDD like bruh i bet from the moment you were scrolling thru comments, stopped on that one, read it, click thru to mine, typed that out... you probably coulda been thru what i wrote, its 2 paragraphs TWO
A lot of the violence in Oz is drug related and it's rarely perpetrated on strangers. That said, anyone who works In a bottle shop or pub here in the Territory can become a target very quickly, and our Attorney-General assures us that our jails are full. I grew up in Sydney's west and I wouldn't go back but at least they have one law for everyone.
I grew up in Tregear housing commission Frequented the local shops and also Mt Druitt (Mounty County) and NEVER had issues. There’s violence even in the snobby areas The only difference is Mt Druitt areas people don’t walk around stuck up like snobs they’re down to earth people some Just misunderstood or judged based on appearance
You can go to any housing commission area in NSW and it’ll be the same everywhere. You got some people living the life they do and you got some people trying to fit in with the crowd. You’d come to find a lot of people who live in the rich areas are very stuck up and think they are a lot better then everyone else.
I grew up in the area. The craziest thing I saw was a guy that set a local supermarket on fire. The owner were these two guys and they were very kind to the community. The thing was, they just finished renovating the whole store and even made a music video in the store!
Love your work uso! I Lived in Mounty and it’s definitely not what the media portrays it to be.. Ike a lot of the previous comments on here, all communities have bad n good. The spot light just seems to be put on these areas a lot more than others💯
Just found your brother, well done. I was working out there a few years ago and I felt the same way I never felt threatened. I never felt like My life is in danger just Aussies living life.
I used to work in mt druitt in the mid 2000s and never saw anything bad. Did food delivery all around the area too, and nothing, everyone paid, no biggie
I’ve lived in and around Mount Druitt my whole life and don’t quite understand how it’s the most dangerous suburb! Don’t get me wrong, things do go down here but I don’t think it’s anymore than other suburbs! Also as a hijabi, I’ve never felt uncomfortable or afraid that I will be stared at or attacked (verbally or physically) in Mount Druitt as opposed to other areas where I’m so uncomfortable!
I live in the mt druitt area didn’t grew up in the area i moved here because i purchased my first house after living here for 5 years now never had any issues. There’s good sides and bad sides to every local community not everywhere is perfect
This video was amazing, please if you’d consider coming down to Broadmeadows in Melbourne and do something similar to show everyone that my areas not that cracked out either would be great, love your work!
All the people in the comments here talking down how violent Mount Druitt is - notice how they're all from Mount Druitt? They're desensitized. Hell is normal for them. Take it from a Sydney resident who doesn't live there but has been there a bunch of times: Mount Druitt is on that 'most dangerous' list for a good reason.
Mount druitt has the biggest volume of hard working construction workers who travel to inner Sydney every day and charged with the biggest tolls mostly honest and hardest working people who sacrifice their heart and soul for the family
@@georgel3657 Really? Other poms would tell me "This is the average council estate in the UK", I live in a different Housing Commission area, I have an English neighbor and he said "I grew up in a place exactly like this" My family came here from Rio De Janeiro (obviously different environment to UK/AUS), and they still struggled living in Housing Commission here, so I'm not gonna come with a "We had it worse" argument, that's like arguing about whose shte tastes worse, when they both taste like shte. but according to people from your country, who've had first-hand experience around both our "housos" and "council estates" Compare what we have here to England, rather than brag about how its supposedly worse back there like the ones whove never been to the Housos
In the early 90's me and a mate got our bmx bikes stolen by a few abos in lethbridge park, later that day we caught up with them playing touch footy and while they weren't paying attention we stole our bikes back. rock on!!
For those confused as to why the interviewer was confused when the guy was talking about guys doing mono' s near his dwelling that's an Aussie term for a wheelie if your riding a bike etc. I think the guy been interviewed was telling the truth that he believes thats the worst thing he has seen in his area lol. Which is nothing. So either mount fruit isn't that bad or the guy misunderstood the question lol. For those wondering i grew up in campbelltown mainly airds and claymore in the 90s .now that was rough lol
Airds and claymore were bad places especially claymore . I remember taxi drivers wouldn’t even drive in that place LOL I grew up in Ingleburn and never once did I go to claymore . We were told if we went there we’d be stoned by locals LOL I’d say that would be true but I never wanted to find out 😂 Airds was full of little shit heads that were violent . Only went there probably 2 times . Once to the local shop ( boarded up ) graffiti and scary as hell to me. Little kids swearing and abusing you like adults ... 😳 anyway I’d hate to live there but If that’s all you had then that’s it . When you grow up in an area it’s not that bad because you know everyone so it’s relatively safe ❤
Oh and houses in airds now are selling for 1 million and over soooooo ... it has changed ALOT !! Who’d of ever thought houses in Airds would be selling for 1 million + Amazing
First time I moved to Sydney from Melbourne I lived in Mt. Druitt and I never felt unsafe. It was just like any other suburb. Only once I felt disgusting was when I saw heaps of rubbish (food) been left behind in the bus station by idiots.
I have met thee GREATEST souls from here... im out visitin rn in syd gna stop by mt druitt... im from the states.. but one good soul changed my life from there n ill forever be grateful for this city for that!
I’m from Perth, misso is from St Claire. She took my to Mt Druit to go to Kmart. 2 lack guys were breaking into a commodore in broad daylight and no one batted an eye!
To everyone sayin Mount Druitt ain’t a bad area it’s bidwill, whalan and tregear etc that are bad areas are just silly those suburbs are all apart of mount Druitt as they are all together in one spot and they all come under the 2770 postcode if you don’t believe me look it up yourself.
Bruh please come to Balga in WA where Africans walk around the streets with machetes Or Mirrabooka where you'll get the ultimate immersive GTA 5 experience that ps5 and xbox series X just can't deliver at the moment
I also grew up in Mount Druitt. I lived there for 18 years. Here’s a few things I experienced as a child. I saw a man get stabbed, a woman glass her parter in the face, had my house broken into multiple times, once by other children, once while I was home and awake at 7 years old. Watched my mum get attacked by a drunk aboriginal woman at McDonald’s, I got punched by a 40 year old islander man at the age of 11. Had 3 separate adult women try and get with me before the age of 13, one of whom succeeded, another who’s boyfriend became aware of her attempted misdeeds and came to my house to try and beat ME up (at 11 or 12). I’d go over to the houses of school friends to play and their parents would smoke bongs in front of us. I could go on but I’d be here all day. I think Mount Druitt is ok depending on what part you live in and when you lived there. For me it was Blackett in the early 1990s - 2000s (the height of the regions crime rates) I agree that trouble comes to those who look for it, however, sometimes you encounter trouble even when not looking for it. Based on the childhood I had, i’d never risk bringing up my children there but that’s not to say there aren’t some really good people there because there are. As soon as I turned 18, I got my own place far away from there and never looked back. Best decision I ever made.
@@Kristobliss You attempting to insinuate that I’m a racist? Pal you know absolutely nothing. My own family is extremely diverse and I love them dearly. I have a Samoan brother in law, Samoan nephews, Tongan nephews, a brother in law from Iran and one from Portugal, I’m far from racist. Not a single one of my sisters married an Aussie. I was simply giving context to the story. Painting a picture for everyone. Race can sometimes make a difference in terms of strength. I was essentially saying I was hit by a big ass islander dude and my mum was attacked by a strong ass aboriginal woman. The woman who glassed the man in the face was also aboriginal as were the kids who broke into my house but I didn’t mention that because it wasn’t relevant to the story in my opinion.
@@stormb3948 Seemed like the ethnicity of every person who wronged you was important enough for you to include it in your comments despite it being completely irrelevant. I don't have to insinuate anything I am not the one telling the story, your words champ!
Grew up in Mount Druitt from a young age up till my teens, can’t say I remember much but I do remember I wasn’t allowed out much on the weekends as a few of our neighbours would let their pit bulls roam around the street. Hated every part glad I’m not there anymore
What I find is that rich people are more than often more absorb in their own lives. Kind of makes sense as they have bigger thing, things they would deem more meaningful and valuable than just chatting with a stranger. The people with less often give more of they time as they don’t have much more external simulations. So in general rich people are more concerned with what they have already going on and less likely to harm random people on a whim. Poor people are more likely to interact with you so in general more interaction= more likelihood of violence. Also they do have a much higher tendency to break in and steal. Because rich people already have what they want why would they need to break the law to get what they want.
My sister lived in Tregear. She bought a housing commission house which was for sale which had her then move into the area. She worked very, very hard and sadly passed away one year ago. Apart from the little buggers of kids who would jump her fence and try and break in she never had a problem. She’d tell them off. She was there for over 20years. I hated going there to visit her but she was ok with it. Glad you came to the conclusion that we are all the same.. Good doco
Go to Campbelltown now that was rough growing up,my daughter lived in Mt Druitt for a few years,it was cheap to buy stuff,but in any housing area or an area with most housing is going to have problems
Far out your a real one after buying those nice people that allowed you to documentary there house and the people themselves dinner. Im for sure gonna subscribe and hope you keep it up and don't fall off like most of these youtubers.
Mt Druitt isn't even that bad. Doesn't matter what suburb you go to. If you want trouble you will find it. Simple as that.
Yeah it's just like Inala and Woodridge in Qld they have such a bad name yet I've walked around all hours never had a problem.

I grew up in mount druitt,I never once had a problem in the area. Never once felt unsafe.
As every area does, you do get problems time to time but people from areas like mount druitt will always be the first to jump in and help in any situation.
I have worked all across Sydney, and even nsw doing a range of diffrent works where I interact day in day out with public.
I have worked in the most prestigious areas, the most run down areas and everything in between.
One thing I noticed whilst doing this is that Mount Druitt was the only place that I was offered drinks,coffee, cake and even lunch by people that saw us working out in the heat.
It’s the people with the least usually have the biggest hearts, and I’ll be forever proud to say that’s where I come from.
Big facts!!! 💯

I've never been to Mt Druit, I don't even live in Sydney. But this doco just shows how humble people in that area really are.
What??? Half of them were criminals. Some of them literally admitting to bashing people. It's still a massive shit hole??They keep popping kids out and don't bring them up correctly. Just cause you haven't experienced crime doesn't mean it's non existent. It has the highest crime rate in Australia. I've been bashed walking home twice and my sister was murdered at a party. I'm sick of people thinking it's fine cause they haven't been affected. The media will always report on where the crime is occurring
Thank you, Jamie, for going out to Mounty County (Mount Druitt) to see what a day of living in Mount Druitt is like. I've lived in many different areas of Sydney, and honestly, Mount Druitt people are as normal as any other suburb in Sydney. At least you got to walk on these peoples properties, without having to stand from a distance, and to reach their front doors, with a knock here and there, getting a lovely welcome from them, even though they may seem weary of who you are, and to see how they lived, gezz these people may not have much but at least they have big hearts.... NO JUDGEMENTS, just humility and empathy from the worse Suburb in Sydney. And the people you got to converse with during your visit, were even happy to have you chat with them.
The people are as real. They are as transparent as they come. Seeing your video of when you went out to the Eastern suburbs, wow, massive contrast to how people are.
Mount Druitt isn't a bad suburb it's the way the media portrays it out to be. Yes there are crime and bad situations that happens on Mount Druitt, its no different to other suburb in Sydney. It's just interesting how the media never misses a moment to mention Mount Druitt when it comes to bad news, but any other suburb it's only mentioned by its districts.... ie: South Sydney, north Sydney, Eastern Sydney...🤷♀️🤦♀️ anyways, keep up the great work you're doing, Jamie. Totally love the work you continue to keep sharing on your platform. 💯👍🏽👌🏽😊🥰

Mounty was the first area I lived in when I moved from NZ, in my 2 years living out there I never had any problems, even when I had to walk home from work late at night. The area reminded me of home because I'm from South Auckland, both places get a bad reputation because the news likes to highlight a small portion of our communities and our struggles.
what do you reckon is "worse" SA or mounty?
@@mrguy7582 tbh depends where as South Auckland is a huge portion of the city sprawl. Areas like Takanini aren’t bad at all
the rich dont want their skeletons shown to the world so they use their money and power to never have bad image said on about them "it could ruin my reputation as a douche" lol and since the poor dont have that ability all the bad things that go on as well as just having to grow up in that enviorment makes alot of ppl especially youth act tough and fit in with the culture... ppl interact with them as well as whats on the news and booom you get MT DRUITT labelled as this dangerous 'hood. the rich have just as many problems especially with drug addiction, domestic violence, white collar crimes fraud and that, it just gets tucked away behind million dollar walls and security barriers so no one can get 1 foot in door let alone near the closet... ppl who live in MTD or other places like that tend to be living on top of each other, not that theres no room in their closet but its really a metaphor and a weird reality where they dont want to hide their skeltons at home because home life might not be stable or like a safe space, plus upper and middle class ppl tend to not immediatly confront issues especially w other ppl they know, they just stuff that shit down until they snap on a totally different innocent person... ive noticed that ppl from the hood may get rowdy more often but its like their way of in the moment venting their frustration so it doesnt become a bigger issue... better to have a little light punch on and shake hands then get into serious beef like where im from the US we really keep them tools on us... i know yall aussies usually move with blades lol
the funniest part is the middle class has all the same problems but for me i grew up middle class with many friends in all 3 so i got to see this shit happen in real time... we middle classers, just slowly sulk into the shadows cuz we not good enough for the rich ppl and we too good for the poor ppl... kids and teenagers dont even care that much about that but the parents DEF do and that starts soooo much drama... every class talked shit about the other two it was hilarious like yall dont even know them like that and you just assume... just like the guy in video experience rich ppl are snobby and typically very douchey in what they say or how it comes off AND ppl from the hood are some of the nicest ppl ive ever met, families who are on food stamps or struggling with shit, invited me for dinner or would pay for food if we went out and often refused the money i had to pay for my own stuff if needed... i remember a rich mom and dad took a group of us out for pizza or something and us being kids like 12 13 14 just talk to talk and say dumb shit but we were like ohhh i have 10 dollars i can get this and just bragging about having like 5 dollars but thats 500 to a 12 year old lol, you would think these rich parents who make bank live in million dollar house have BMWs would pay the under $50 it was for them and a few kids but they only paid for them and their son, made us use our money lmao... fucking dickheads bruv.

From being ignored at a much higher suburb to mt druitt locals letting you in their house, big difference.

I had friends in Mt Druitt, I used to visit regularly and never had any problems. I lived in Lakemba which I considered to be far worse, drive by shootings, burnt out cars on the streets etc, not sure what it's like now.
Leb-kemba brother. Yeah the police station got shot up. Where's the station now😂😂

I lived in Blackett. Never had any problems there. Humble, every-day living souls. Trouble only exists if you're looking for it.
That’s not true….trouble comes looking for you ….like example A - going through my Ute looking for tools to steel ….
While this may be a much more respectful take on the area than what's been covered by mainstream media, it still fuels the stigma that many of us, who grew up in the area, still battle. It was like you went out of your way to find every derro in the neighbourhood and they were the only ones willing to talk on camera. I grew up literally 3 houses down from where you were filming @4:20 and my parents still live there. Majority of the people I went to school with at Bidwill High School have gone on to do well in life, with well established careers, etc. But unfortunately, some never escape the perpetual cycle of generational dysfunction that's been fuelled by decades of poor government policy, created by out-of-touch bureaucrats who have failed to understand the needs of the people in this area, who really need a 'hand-up', rather than a 'hand-out'.
Out of touch is spot on! Area needs a young professional to take over from these older MPs and start representing the young people up here
Here! Here!
You must be joking.
stop making excuses for this area which is full of derros who are too lazy to look for a job.
if they have 10 kids they can work, if they want to drink at the morning time then they can also work. They are FULL OF EXCUSES!

Jamie you have really grown up into a compassionate young man now. Lao Zhu (Old Zhu) will be proud of you.
Mate Ive lived on Sydney’s Northern beaches my whole life and never ever thought I’d end up homeless living in a van, it’s not just Mt Druitt that’s falling about it the whole of Sydney, let me know if you ever come to Sydney’s Northern beaches I’ll be happy to show you around. So many people so many people are homeless all over Sydney it’s sickening hey, before the van I lived in the van. I lived in the sane unit for 19 years but covid fucked everything up big tine
Air BNB wrecked the rental crisis. Write to your local member. Put pressure on them. I’ve wrote to them
Also. They need to know. This has never been an issue
Great attitude Jamie, we all need to be kinder and more understanding and hopefully, we can see less crime too. Mental and physical health is important to get well for all of use
The comedic value in this video is out of this world for people that are from the area!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good on you Jamie, you're a good lad and hey you've opened some eyes today. Living in Mt. Druitt obviously isn't as smooth sailing as the eastern suburbs but at least they will give you the time of day and keep it real with you. Which I think is worth a bit more than the privileged high horses shooing you away on sight.
This reminds me of a Russian busker family I was close too ! They relocated to Glebe from Mt Druit ! Amazing people ! I have met the most lovely people ,family orientated ,multicultural ! It's true that the media should not be believed !
Even Glebe has some bad people, thats how it is with every Housing Commission area
Just Moved to Mount Druitt ! Such a lovely community ❤️ so Australian 🙋🏻♀️🤣
“The people here, are definitely the best part”. What you said here is everything
What a respectful and insightful documentary of these struggling, decent people Jamie. I’m very proud of you xo
How is this respectful? He’s just profiled people, that look a certain way and wear a certain outfit.
Absolute shit

@@drdavinsky watch it again u missed the plot
@@drdavinsky His half Chinese half Australian, his dad is a famous movie director , I feel he has gone out of his way to interview the most Bogan and uneducated people in that suburb even though I’m sure there would be alot of hard working educated people living in the same suburb aswell.

I’m from the northern beaches & finally went to Westfield in mount druitt a few months ago as a family friend shops there by herself and was adamant the best pho is served there. Was surprised by how normal & safe I felt, was expecting something different based on the mainstream media news I used to watch. I think the northern beaches has scarier people walking & driving around!
Yh they renovated the whole Westfields used to look like shit before.
What an awesome insight Jamie. In fact I just read that Sydneys inner west and even CBD areas have a much higher crime rate than Mount Druitt

I live in willmot and moved in 2021 when my friends said I am nutcase. I work as network engineer and suburb has changed a lot in 2 years. I hate the change. I love to hang around old people who have stories to tell and struggles they had. Unfortunately houses are being sold and new people are moving in.
I love you.
I just cannot put into words how so very much I enjoyed your documentary.
Played it over and over again. 😊😊😊
I lived in the suburbs of the mount druitt area (shalvey) for 16 years of my life. ( I'm now 24 )
Here's what I have to say; the surrounding suburbs of mount druitt or places like Whalan, Emmo (Emerton), bidwill, tregear and shalvey aren't as bad as some people make it out to be.
If you aren't looking for trouble, you won't find it, you just gotta know people and sure sometimes It can find you, but shit that's life and the game we all played / still play.
The community is always looking out for each other and honestly if you've lived in those area's you know almost everyone either in your street or your suburb. The adults, the kids and fuck even the dog out the back, you've either been into everyone's house or everyone's been in yours for either piss ups, the cards night or a cook out / BBQ.
In the summer it was standing out the front with either a blow up pool or sprinkler and if the neighbors kids were around, it was water fights with water balloons that would cost 50c and leave red marks all over you.
And in the winters it was always the empty oil drum and a fire with beer, cheap soft drink cans and a sound system blasting music till the jacks arrived and told you to shut up 😂
There is problems in some areas but hey, when is there not problems in this world from time to time.
I still call it my home even though I don't live anywhere near NSW or MD anymore

My Dad grew up in Mt. Druitt in the 60s/70s - he's been shot at, and had a lot of fights and trouble. A lot of it was bush back then and nothing like it is now.
I lived there for 7 years and it has always been dangerous there are many good people who live there
Why are the people so lazy there they can easily get a job but decided to drink during the day and hang out as adults...
@@magyaradam prolly too hard for you to understand but they grew up in a wild abuse and trauma filled enviorment with constant chaotic changes like getting kicked out or having to live with different parents or guardians... the mental and physical trauma from abuse and neglect... drug addiction either themselves or ppl around them. you think many of those ppl ever went to therapy when it really mattered at younger ages shit even now you think they want to... i didnt grow up in hood but i had alot of bad shit happen when i was little kid up until adult right now... therapy is great and im sure many ppl including myself need it and will really help me heal but its hard enought going day to day having random thoughts pop into your head and trying to either work thru them yourself or push them back down... i just push them down as bad as it is, i have to be able to funciton day to day so i can work and no just lay in my room on floor staring at ceiling trying to work shit out in my head cuz its literally one thing bothers you and when you try to work stuff out other shit pops up that you forgot about... THAT is exactly what will happen in therapy except at far bigger level where they WANT to talk and talk and talk about it... tbh i dont wanna pay money to feel like im reliving my trauma all over again, so i find healthy ways to distract myself and do drugs too.
most of these ppl find simple life enjoyment kicking back with their homies in a safe place where no one bothers them having some brewskis and not thinking about their problems for an hour or two or three or however long they can make that moment last. also most of them that go find a job get put in something with ppl they have nothing in common with so they feel alone or lesser then because the other ppl are from normal areas not the hood, no one like them in most jobs so its hard to feel part of something when they nothing like you... shit alot of those ppl not even ones in video but the real "searchers" they HATE working... why live a life of crime if the easy/good route was really like that? they have to work they ass off for 1-2000 a month when they can hit a solid lick on whatever they good at hitting and make 1-2000 in a day... or sell drugs, thats fast money that anyone with half brain can do especialy given ppl drop out of school so finding jobs like that are hard.

A lot of the violence in Oz is drug related and it's rarely perpetrated on strangers. That said, anyone who works In a bottle shop or pub here in the Territory can become a target very quickly, and our Attorney-General assures us that our jails are full. I grew up in Sydney's west and I wouldn't go back but at least they have one law for everyone.
I grew up in Tregear housing commission
Frequented the local shops and also Mt Druitt (Mounty County) and NEVER had issues.
There’s violence even in the snobby areas
The only difference is Mt Druitt areas people don’t walk around stuck up like snobs they’re down to earth people some Just misunderstood or judged based on appearance
Well done Jamie! Really good doco mate. Keep these doing these kinds of content mate
You can go to any housing commission area in NSW and it’ll be the same everywhere. You got some people living the life they do and you got some people trying to fit in with the crowd. You’d come to find a lot of people who live in the rich areas are very stuck up and think they are a lot better then everyone else.
That ladies attitude completely changed when he told her that the media thinks she is a different species.
I grew up in the area. The craziest thing I saw was a guy that set a local supermarket on fire. The owner were these two guys and they were very kind to the community. The thing was, they just finished renovating the whole store and even made a music video in the store!
Awesome video bro, enjoyed it.. normally it's at night when trouble arises...

I’ve lived in and around Mount Druitt my whole life and don’t quite understand how it’s the most dangerous suburb! Don’t get me wrong, things do go down here but I don’t think it’s anymore than other suburbs!
Also as a hijabi, I’ve never felt uncomfortable or afraid that I will be stared at or attacked (verbally or physically) in Mount Druitt as opposed to other areas where I’m so uncomfortable!

Which is nothing. So either mount fruit isn't that bad or the guy misunderstood the question lol. For those wondering i grew up in campbelltown mainly airds and claymore in the 90s .now that was rough lol

Little kids swearing and abusing you like adults ... 😳 anyway I’d hate to live there but If that’s all you had then that’s it . When you grow up in an area it’s not that bad because you know everyone so it’s relatively safe ❤

I also grew up in Mount Druitt. I lived there for 18 years. Here’s a few things I experienced as a child.
I saw a man get stabbed, a woman glass her parter in the face, had my house broken into multiple times, once by other children, once while I was home and awake at 7 years old. Watched my mum get attacked by a drunk aboriginal woman at McDonald’s, I got punched by a 40 year old islander man at the age of 11. Had 3 separate adult women try and get with me before the age of 13, one of whom succeeded, another who’s boyfriend became aware of her attempted misdeeds and came to my house to try and beat ME up (at 11 or 12). I’d go over to the houses of school friends to play and their parents would smoke bongs in front of us.
I could go on but I’d be here all day. I think Mount Druitt is ok depending on what part you live in and when you lived there. For me it was Blackett in the early 1990s - 2000s (the height of the regions crime rates) I agree that trouble comes to those who look for it, however, sometimes you encounter trouble even when not looking for it. Based on the childhood I had, i’d never risk bringing up my children there but that’s not to say there aren’t some really good people there because there are.
As soon as I turned 18, I got my own place far away from there and never looked back. Best decision I ever made.
‘make money get out of mounty’
exactly its a 5h1t hole. "you don't have to look for trouble" it can find you.
The ethnicity of people who have wronged you seems to be a very important point of interest for you.
@@Kristobliss You attempting to insinuate that I’m a racist? Pal you know absolutely nothing. My own family is extremely diverse and I love them dearly. I have a Samoan brother in law, Samoan nephews, Tongan nephews, a brother in law from Iran and one from Portugal, I’m far from racist. Not a single one of my sisters married an Aussie. I was simply giving context to the story. Painting a picture for everyone. Race can sometimes make a difference in terms of strength. I was essentially saying I was hit by a big ass islander dude and my mum was attacked by a strong ass aboriginal woman. The woman who glassed the man in the face was also aboriginal as were the kids who broke into my house but I didn’t mention that because it wasn’t relevant to the story in my opinion.
@@stormb3948 Seemed like the ethnicity of every person who wronged you was important enough for you to include it in your comments despite it being completely irrelevant. I don't have to insinuate anything I am not the one telling the story, your words champ!

Sydney’s most dangerous area loll. Bro everyone can survive there-Be respectful of others and don’t go looking for trouble 🤙🏼
That's crazy, I was born n raised in Mt druitt and I never want to go claymore, that place makes mt druitt look like Alexandria
Mount druitt is gods country .
Those that don't want to show their face are probably in hiding. Maybe from various gangs.
Nah they didnt even interview the gang types 😂
the video would have played out differently
What I find is that rich people are more than often more absorb in their own lives. Kind of makes sense as they have bigger thing, things they would deem more meaningful and valuable than just chatting with a stranger. The people with less often give more of they time as they don’t have much more external simulations.
So in general rich people are more concerned with what they have already going on and less likely to harm random people on a whim.
Poor people are more likely to interact with you so in general more interaction= more likelihood of violence. Also they do have a much higher tendency to break in and steal. Because rich people already have what they want why would they need to break the law to get what they want.
My sister lived in Tregear.
She bought a housing commission house which was for sale which had her then move into the area.
She worked very, very hard and sadly passed away one year ago.
Apart from the little buggers of kids who would jump her fence and try and break in she never had a problem.
She’d tell them off.
She was there for over 20years.
I hated going there to visit her but she was ok with it.
Glad you came to the conclusion that we are all the same..
Good doco
Go to Campbelltown now that was rough growing up,my daughter lived in Mt Druitt for a few years,it was cheap to buy stuff,but in any housing area or an area with most housing is going to have problems
