If you get a referral from your GP, a blood test costs nothing.
I didn't know that as an almost 30 year old Aussie lol. I just don't go to the doctors enough to know that.
Yeah but the visit to the GP costs
Magpies are friendly and comical birds, just not in spring, had multiple cool physical interactions with them other than being swooped
58 year old Aussie here and never been swooped by a Magpie, they go after my wife instead so I always take her with me.
@@JoniusGnome 😂
Feed Maggie family 3 times a day...never been swooped, they see you as friends.
100%. i love my maggies. they sing to me everymorning and watch my every move when i'm in the kitchen
Gerald Stone, the American reporter, spent many years on Aussie current affairs TV in 60s & 70s. RIP.
She was just lucky that Drop Bear was a juvenile...
Still a lot of places out west where I wouldn't turn my schooner upside down 😬🤣
😂😂 Australia is unique and beautiful 💜
We're a weird mob! 🎉😂💪🏼
In 1977 USD was worth about 60 Aussie cents.
Because of the mottled grey areas on the magpie, it would be a baby magpie. They are usually the same size as an adult very quickly and make funny noises, before turning jet black and white.
3:17 does the restaurant give me a tip for serving myself?
I've never paid for a blood test, if I had to pay and take an injection, I wouldn't turn up! A printed menu is a great flirting tool, and may start a great discussion, no thanks! Pub, drink your own beer, no eye contact! Don't go down to Woolloomooloo, that's where the hectic Naval Base and the nightclubs were! Aren't peanuts grown in Queensland? Magpies are super curious and smart! That's not my pet snake! We still have to survive alone and may need huge fences! Koala thought she was hiding her baby! Take a dip truck? 🙃👎
Glass upside down yeah it means fight in Western Australia aswell, leave it empty & standing you want another drink, lay it down your going home.
Back in the 1960's, 20 cents/day for lunch money was plenty for a kid.
I could for recess get a buttered finger bun. For lunch I could have either a pie or pastie and a 300 ml bottle of coke. I could then return the bottle and have enough to buy an ice cream/block. On the way home we could stop in at the shop and buy a 3 cent bag of mix lollies (candy).
When I hit high school that went up to $1 for the first couple of years and then increased to $2.
I can even remember pulling into a servo and asking for 50 cents of petrol.
When I started working my pay was $68/week.
You have to remember everything is weekly in Australia, wages, rent, etc. Electricity is quarterly, every 3 months.
Is it because of all the poisonous animals? One couldn't be sure they would still be alive after a whole month.
Not all blood tests are covered by Medicare. It depends on what type it is.
Also, if you are a private patient in hospital, you will definitely pay for tests.
QR codes at restaurants means logging into an app. Logging into an app lets the restaurant know so much about you, and now send you adverts all the time, etc! Why is everyone in a pub in the 1960s 50 years of age or more!
Rents are generally quoted per week but paid monthly - weekly rent multiplied by 52, then divided by 12 to get the monthly amount. Regarding the pub fights, That reporter looks to be a very young Gerald Stone, an American journalist who moved to Australia and became a television executive with the Nine Network, most notably founding the Australian edition of the 60 Minutes current affairs program.
I think that might vary depending on where in Aus you live. I've been renting in Sydney for 15 years and have only ever paid fortnightly
@@Dahvood I lived in Sydney most of my 70 years of life and always paid weekly
"Drink someone else's beer." - Now, in the civilised world, there are only two options here, and one ends without the need for a fight. The first option is you're doing that, because you _want_ to fight the person whose beer you drink. This ends in a fight, of course. The second one is an honest mistake. The honest mistake is easily cleared up, and you simply buy the person another beer and keep drinking the "borrowed" one. Might even end up with a new friend.
NZ is a much newer landmass that Australia. It has been pushed up by tectonic action from the Pacific Rim.
Australia is relatively free of tectonic effects.
They just need to apply for a rebate from medicare. Approx. 80% refund. Public clinics are usually totally free. If you have used a private clinic you can claim a refund through your private health insurance.
My doctor processes the Medicare refund while I'm at the surgery.
So why when my doctor charged $60, did I only get $23 back?
The medicare rebate for a standard consultation is $37 or so
two weeks ago i had the first encounter with a QR-code menu,... I got up, and left. I am not going to deal with that.
we don't go by monthy payments Ian Oz is weekly
Our Medicare would normally be free,but with the gov dropping the ball,it was recently changed from bulk billing to pay as you go lol.
Doctors were not able to pay there mcmansions off in a way and so not long ago, concession and pension card holders were allowed to bulk bill again,
First
When my older sister started working, her weekly wage was $30.
When I started working my weekly wage was $18
You would have seen the upside down glass in some old westerns.
My wife is a doc, not all tests blood or otherwise are entirely covered by medicare. So that first post isn't actually unusual.
As a person with medical issues I need many blood tests. If your doctor gives you a referral to a place which bulk bills it will cost you nothing. If the referral is to a non bulk billing clinic you will have to pay and claim it back later through Medicare. If you have no referral it will usually cost you over $150.
In regard to the peanuts, floods caused the loss of the majority of peanut crops here and stores like Coles had to source nuts from overseas. Just temporary until our peanut crops were growing again.
Gidday. As a 70’s child, I can give you an insight into the cost of living back then.
You said the average wage for a man was around $200. My Dad supported a family of five on that type of wage.
A phone call from a phone booth cost 10c. Many food items at school tuck shops cost 20c to 50c.
Petrol was cheap, our family owned v8s and 6s. We were a one car family. Kids had to walk or ride bikes or catch a bus to school.
Mum averaged $40 for groceries. If money was tight, she could buy a large box of groceries for $20. To feed the family for a week.
My parents were raised on farms. They butchered animals to put in the chest freezer. If they were chickens, it was a family affair on the weekend. We grew veggies and picked blackberries (a local farm weed) that Mum made into large batches of jam.
Most of our meals were home cooked from scratch. Having a restaurant meal or takeaway food was a rare treat.
As kids, we earned pocket money to buy lollies, chips and ice creams, or soda.
We collected glass milk and coke bottles to return for the deposits. We got 20c for the coke bottles, 5c for the milk bottles.
Our parents also returned beer bottles. We would use that money to go to the local corner shop and buy our treats because we never had junk food at home. If you were thirsty, you drank water. You could buy a large bag of mixed lollies for 20c, or an ice cream for 30c. 40c would get you a small can of coke.
Mum made and mended our clothing. We also foraged landfills for reusable items.
We played outside a lot. We didn’t have a lot of toys, but we preferred to play sports. Tennis, football, or just active playground style games.
Kids had household jobs to do. Gardening, washing dishes, mowing the lawn. Older kids might get pocket money for doing it but it wasn’t a given.
My Mum had a part time job at a local bakery so we got cheap bread. Dad did mechanical work for farmers and got livestock. Our milk was delivered and poured into a gallon sized bucket. That cost $2. Living in a local community meant that everyone could survive.
This is exactly how things were 1960s and 70s when I was growing up. It was a struggle, especially for women like my mother who had to raise seven kids on her own. But despite the numerous hardships we all endured, we got through them by pulling together. Life was much simpler back then but had more meaning than it does today.
Yep, even though I was born in the 80’s it was like that for me also, grateful for what we had. @nephilimslayer73
One glaring difference is the number of things we had in the 70s to now in just about every area of the home. Very much simpler existence
Pub glass etiquette is still a thing in alot of country pubs. I was trained it as a teen and you could see any locals new the language and anyone coming in new or young didn't know it.
It's also a little bit regional too, out west It's still incredibly common
My parents bought a house in Carnegie, Melb, in 1975, for $46,000.
It's now worth $1.6m.
A school lunch order, pie with sauce, big M, bag twisties= 46cents in 1975.
Pkt pigs (Winfield 25s) 1975= $1.25
2024= $58.00
Interestingly in the last 4-5 years the prices have risen about 20% on average.
Overall here in Australia we pay out of pocket for nearly everything now! Used to be great but we've adopted a very American attitude towards health care............not working out too well.............we used to be able to laugh at our yank friends............ capitalism has f*cked us all!🖕😠👎🏻
I'm a Phlebotomist in Australia.. MOST blood tests are covered by Medicare.. not ALL.. it does also depend on who your blood tests are done through.. if you go to a public Hospital then the government preferred pathology collector will do it, it may be ENTIRELY free.. but it really does depend on the test and who you choose to collect and process your bloods.. 😉
I rember in 1976 going to the shops for my Dad to buy his cigarets for $1;20 a packet & now the same packet would cost you $62:00
$$ for blood tests. Depends on path lab vendor.
Locally Dorevitch & 4Cyte bulk billed. ACL - watch out!
Whether the dollars are in AU$ or US$ doesn't matter, it's not like imperial/metric or Fahrenheit/celcius, if I earn AU$100 an hour, and you earn US$100 an hour, an AU/US$100 item costs the same.
In Australia you could get killed for even touching another persons glass in a pub. We love our beer. In Australia we have Pubs, Clubs and Bars. A country pub is quite different from a city pub. Country Pubs are normaly more quiet while city pubs can be quite noisy and crowded at peak times.
In 1974, the year I started work as a 17yo I was paid $99 per fortnight after tax. The rent I paid at a boarding house was $24/week and the next biggest expense was the weekly train ticket at about $8/week (may have been 7 dollars something. Didn't leave much for anything else but managed to get into Lidcombe oval to watch Wests play. DId that for a year then then in 1975 my wage went to $120/ fortnight.
Some medical practices are 'public practices' and will always 'bulk-bill', especially for pensioners, disabled, veterans, etc., whilst some are 'private practices' and will bill you for services. Even the private practices will regularly bulk bill in some situations. The public health sector is overloaded and underfunded and we have a shortage of qualified personnel in the country. Medical schools seem to be limiting their intake to keep the number of doctors lower so they can create more demand in the private sector and charge more. Many doctors work part-time in the public sector and part-time in the private sector because they can get more money privately.
I hate ordering with QR codes. If they require you to do it, I walk out.
I've never heard of the upside down glass to start a fight. That's probably forgotten etiquette now. It may still be remembered in the country areas, where it often seems the older etiquettes still seem to be followed. In my father's time, if you walked into a country pub with your hat on, you would be expected to buy a round for everyone in the bar. That doesn't happen now, even in country areas, unless it's way out in the outback, where I haven't been.
My parents bought the three-bedroom cottage I grew up in for 800 pounds (we were still on pounds, back then, before we switched to dollars). I sold that house for AUD $800 000 3 years ago, and it was in bad condition after the tenants trashed it. In just over one lifetime, prices have risen a huge amount.
Only a small percentage of the male magpies actually attack and only in nesting season (about 6 weeks, but a different six weeks in different parts of the country). The rest of the magpies are very chill and if you feed them, they remember you. Apparently magpies can recognise and remember up to 80 different human faces.
I earned about 40,000 Belgian francs (1000 euros) when I started working, paid 250 euros on rent and about 250 euros on groceries. Now my rent is about 1/2 of what I earn and groceries are about 1/3rd while taking care of two teenagers. Times definitely have changed.
The drunk said something unintelligible followed by the inner city suburb of Woolloomooloo.
And because Gerald Stone, the migrant American journo said barr, the Aussie thought he said burrough, because we don’t pronounce our final Rs. We say bah. The Aussie heard burrough, so he was confused. Gerald Stone moved to Australia in 1962 and lived and worked here until his death in 2020 at age 87.
G'day Mate!About products coming from OS etc...Coles used to sell crumbed whiting fillets and they were product of Australia but processed in Vietnam...Yep! They were caught off WA and sent to Vietnam to be filleted and crumbed then sent back to Australia...I haven't seen them for a while though... I would just buy the fresh and crumb them myself... Cheers!
My parents bought their house in 1973, for £1200 today it is probably around £450000. At the time they struggled to pay the mortgage, but has there been a time in the past 50 years where most people haven't struggled to make mortgage payments?
I whistle ND say hello to all magpies I'm only 37 because I heard they won't go you ,, ND surpriseling it seems to have worked I never get swooped,
PS: I'm also a Collingwood supporter go pies lol
PSS: go iwrocker love your vids about aus ND your interests in US,I share the same thing for the USA
Can't see what the tests are, but not all tests are covered by Medicare. Also depends who by/where the tests are ordered from. Some GPs order the weirdest/rare tests (up to and including genetic tests done overseas and/or not deemed relevant by Aus health standards.) And as an aside, most private pathology companies can only bill Medicare for the three most expensive tests, rest are done for free. Unless ordered by a Specialist, then can charge for all tests ordered.
Glass upside down on bar was still a challenge to all comers in Western/Central Queensland in the 80s.
Peanuts were primarily grown in Kingaroy, South Burnett Queensland until they started massive irrigating in WA/NT, now a lot of peanut farms have changed crops as money no longer there as imports cheaper. But still order mine from The Peanut Van, especially Hickory (for Christmas) and Curry flavours.
Worst interaction with a local mammal I've seen was an Arts student decide to try and pick up an injured Ringtail with baby on back. Short version, Ringtail ran into scrub, we wrapped students arm in towel and took to ED.
I hate the QR code instead of a menu!!! Luckily in my town of Oostende, Belgium I haven't seen it yet but I've seen it a lot in Brugges (which is a 30 minute drive). I do kinda get that it is more of a thing in Brugges because in the very touristy areas the QR code menu is probably a cheaper way to have a menu in a lot of different languages. But they should still have at least the option of an actual menu in our language (Flemish/Dutch) and maybe French and English too.
With the QR code debate, I still use a dumbphone, mainly because it doesn't matter how many times I drop it, it ain't breaking (yes it is a Nokia), and it works in places most smartphones don't, also there are people (mainly older) who don't have phones at all. The birds can be cool, we have a flock of Splendid Fairy Wrens that hang around where I work, and are quite happy to flit through the lunchroom while everyone is sitting down. Finally, New Zealand has less 'wacky' animals than Australia, mainly because it is a geologically younger landmass, AU is on old continental shield landmass while NZ is a young active landmass that is part of the 'Pacific Ring of Fire', so the wackiness has had less time to evolve (although they still have some wacky animals).

Your dead right born in 1976 in Western Australia and food petrol beer and rent/mortgage most expensive ever and pay gone up F all compared.I remember diesel 67cents a litre eating what ever you wanted and $200 a wk rent
Has Alberteasy snuck in the Medicare increase without people being aware of it. I had to have a heart scan, but couldn’t as I had had one only a year previously, Medicare had said they will only cover 1 test every 2 yrs. So if you have heart problems and need scans , makes no difference what type of Centrelink Benefit you are on. On top of that if you need to go to a private specialist they won’t see you if you don’t have private cover! Things are getting better with Labour!
U actually hit "Have a peek" pretty well haha... More accent that I have thats fo'sure.. Im from South Australia, we speak the Kings English haha
With regard to the amounts in the 1977 interview, I would suspect they are talking about weekly income and outgoings rather than monthly. I began working in 1985 and earned $114 per week as an office junior at age 17, however that is in a small country town where we do not get the same wages as in a city (unless you work for a government department of large company - of which there are few in country/rural areas).
The thing about pub fights back in the day is that it was most mostly between two guys who were drunk, but it would normally would be all over very quickly. Sure, you'd probably wind up with a few bruises, but it would often follow up with a shaking hands of hands and buying each other a beer. These days, it is more likely to involve people who are not drunk and end in someone being knifed or king hit from behind by some low low-life coward which would result in serious life-threatening injury or death. Jeez, I wish I could go back to those times.
12:52 I made the same face and noice: "oof!". Absolutely... Cost of living isn't fun.
I mean, €3,89 for one loaf of bread? I can pay up to €80,xx per week in groceries, for just me alone.
That is besides my 3 pet guinea pigs too. One bag of pellets, 1,75kg: €15,xx...
I really need to watch my bankbalance or I will go negative.
I had bood tests today and that was free. Just found out I'm pregnant and asbim high risk I need more care.. I have a scan on Monday which is costing $275 and then a standard doctor's appointment on Thursday is $98...good news is the obstetrics appointments are free
TEAS - the income & expenses mentioned would have been weekly (or at the most fortnightly) - not monthly.
With the QR stuff, if they allowed you to chose to use the QR or get an actual menu, there wouldn't be an issue.
It's when gimmicks like that are forced exclusive, it's annoying.
If your not Australia, lets say you came for a holiday and need a blood test at hospital it’s about $384 for a blood tests.
There may be extra charges for us but mostly free under Medicare.

At least if someone put theyre glass on the bar to start a fight, you knew it wasnt gonna get jammed in your face , which was a common occurance here in the 70s and 80s. Most expenses in OZ are usually weekly and people here were having fist fights in supermarkets over "bog roll". If you split a magpies tongue when they are young they can speak better english than a cockatoo. We had a family of maggies that used to come into our house to get a feed. They would sqwark at the door to come inside, very friendly in the right environment but they will attack you if you come too close to their nest in the wild...
Pub culture, yep glass upside down, just not on. Do that …… start ducking. Finished your beer live it upright and order another the same glass would be used. Leave it on its side means you’ve done drinking or want a fresh glass.
I've never heard of the upside down beer glass starting a fight. I'm a 53 yo Australian.
I'm guessing here, with respect to Australia, but in Canada it is true that medical is free with some caveats. For example necessary medical care or anything doctor directed is free but anything considered "cosmetic" is not free. For example if I wanted a vasectomy but it was not a medical necessity then that would not be free. Once again I am guessing here but if the blood test was requested by the patient, IE wanted an AIDS test or Paternaty test, then my suspician is that would cost the patient. I could be way off base here I admit but from the American perspective free medical is not carte blanche there are conditions which must be met. Not many mind you, in almost every situation you go to the Dr, they do what they do, perscribe a laxitave or remove your spleeen and after recovery you go home, there will never be a bill in the mail or a lien on your house, get sick, go to dr. get cured, done!
There are endless videos of people not making it through gunshot. Unfortunately they just create traffic jams - luckily people travel with cb radios so you know to exit the Tele track before there is no turning back - and much to the relief of passengers not wanting to go that way :)
Hi Ian, just on the blood test charges. When the Coalition was last in government a couple of years ago now. They were advocating and following the US system of user pays. And It is still going on today under the current Labor government.
QML and Sullivan and Nicolaides just ask for your Medicare card and bulk bill . Special unusual tests they will tell you the cost . I don’t pay for tests unless they are unusual tests.
Regarding the whole QR codes for menus at restaurants thing, I have yet to encounter it personally, but my thoughts on it are that it's really fine, as long as you still have the option of a physical menu, if scanning a QR code is the ONLY way of accessing the menu then I say HELL NO! But if it's just an alternative option for those who want to use it, then I'd have no problem with it!
I know you like 4x4 you should check out some videos on the old telegraph track especially ones by 4wd24/7
Hay how you goin here is a site you should like heaps xy falcon 4x4 owners with there utes and waggons sure you would want one
New Zealand does have some mammals native before humans - there were a few species of bats. Which were also weird. But yeah, pretty much all birds and reptiles. But weird birds and reptiles.
My last experience with medical things. I was told to go back to my doctor and have them specify the thing they were looking for in my test. If its just a generic test even with a referral it would cost me. I went back to my doc and said can you add the thing we are looking for in the test. He added torn ligaments ( not a blood test but same premise applies.)
QR codes can go to hell
flipping your glass is basically you announcing to the pub you are the toughest person in the pub and challenging anyone to prove you wrong
It depppends, our system works like this, you go to a public doctor, the docter will order blood tests = free. you go to a private doctor......
I like printed menus because they mostly include the total cost of the food and you can compare two dishes. They also mostly include the ingredients of the food and a brief definition of the food jou are ordering. Very helpful if you are not a regular diner and don't know what a eg Tropical Parmagiama is .
Also if you have low income card blood tests xrays etc are free...Income over certain amount you dont get bulk billed but can go to any public hospital for free...Any medical emergencies take in anyone for free in emergency no matter your income or later if you want private hospital its covered by private insurance or like me I get everything medical plus equipment etc as im on veterans gold card We live in best country in the world for many more reasonx also..
Okay, so there is a lot going on here - pathology in terms of businesses being viable is under threat, because Medicare has not increased it's payments to them in line with increasing costs for a very long time. Staff are working on well below correct pay. Current movement and petitions against this. Possibly some tests are payment required - others may charge very high if the test was the same test, within a certain time frame. This can all be prior checked by people going to the Medicare website.
I prefer the staff to take my order, it’s more personal and I develop customer/staff relationships with them, which helps enormously for top service.
I turned my glass upside down when I was like 20 ND some one said to me really you know what that means yeah ND I'm like nope lol ,I had no idea of that thing , I'm Born in 87 mind you
I’m not sure how it works these days since I’m on the age pension, but if you get a medical bill, you pay it and take the receipt to Medicare and they will process your full or partial refund.
Medicare used to bulk bill, but not they don't cover the full cost so there's a "gap" payment between what Medicare pays is $70, cost is $100 U have to pay the $30, that's how Medicare is "failing" to keep up with medical cost inflation costs .
There are doctors who bulk bill, just not as many as there once was. My doctor bulk bills me. I never have to pay anything.
My doctors bulk bill , not as many as before but shop around.
Yeah it uses to be almost all of them, my GP has been my GP for 20 years, and he doesn't charge me higher than the Medicare cover, but his practices fee's are higher than what Medicare cover, they used to be the right amount but GP costs have had to go higher, but Medicare doesn't raise the cover amount to meet it. Most Drs that bulk bill only spend 10 mins with a patient, my GP will spend a 15 min consult and spend 30 to 45 mins with me and charge no extra... And he cares, not many Drs will give U their own personal phone number for emergencies!!!
Isn’t Alberteasy just great with what he is doing to Medicare, if we wait another year or two we will be like in America!
At least if you can order from a app, you don't have to put up with shitty service, especially if the eating establishment is busy.
America prices things by the month, but its weekly here in Aus, that would have been $8 a week for food, not per month
ICC T20 Cricket world cup has a game in Chicago Sunday!
Those numbers she gave would have been weekly brother, or fortnightly (biweekly for the Yankee readers) at the most.
With regard to QR codes for menus, I haven't experienced it, yet, and so I haven't felt the urge to get up, walk out and find somewhere else to eat.
It sort of reminds me a little of those 'posh' restaurants that had mood lighting that made it too dark to read the menu, where you have to get your phone out and put the torch on. My eyes are not what they used to be and I would not be thrilled trying to read the menu on my cracked phone screen.
So these idiots think now that everybody carries a mobile phone with them? No wonder some of these places are going broke. I don't need to get an app to pay for lunch or a beer I have cash or a card, then I've heard the app asks for a tip???
My wage in a well paid job when I started work in 1972 was $30.00 per week.
19:17 My ex-husband and I did that years ago but I can’t remember it being that steep. It was still steep but definitely not that bad😀
In my home town the quickest way to get into a pub fight was to walk into 1 you weren't a regular at, i had mates i went to school with that drank at what was known as the yuppie pub opposed to where i drank at the swinging arms(known as that since my dad was a kid who was born in 1935) who wouldn't come in to get me when ready to head out cruising or so 😂
No QR codes full stop thanks and more use of cash. This "improved" world is no where near as good as what we already had
No QR codes full stop thanks and more use of cash. This "improved" world is no where near as good as what we already had
It depends on if you have private insurance
Also income as if you disadvantaged its free
But you are limited on how many a doctor can book
Unless there's a condition been diagnosed that requires more in a year
But if your above poverty line some have to pay or they've neededmore then allowed a year
Yeah mate we don't pay for any medical that's rubbish guess that person was using stupid private when our gov system is same and free
QR codes don’t always work as sometimes my iPhone can’t access the link to the menu but then I use my iPad and all good
Turning the glass upside down meant you were shouting the bar if U reneged a fight would ensue laying your glass meant you were finished for the night
I have to have a lot of blood tests and they are always free but I’ve been told that they are starting to charge for certain types of blood tests which isn’t cool for the current government.
Australia has some of the oldest plants and animals on earth and some of the oldest geography and exposed ocean beds
I don’t think anyone should have to pay to get healthcare and to get treatment for anything it just shows how messed up this world is
Whaddayamean, pathetic attempt at an Aussie accent? I thought I had tuned into an Australian channel there for a moment, haha.
In 1972 at 16 I started work at 22 Australian dollars a week and adult would earn 65 to 70 week unskilled
As always love your work Ian cheers
Low income citizens don't pay for medical treatment.
the first time a restaurant expected me to use a QR code i scoffed and walked out. and every time thereafter. money talks bullshit walks
