Probably a student visa. Europe. There's a course I applied to a few years ago, and got knocked back by the Immigration Department in that country (I'm not gonna specify which, yet, lol)...
For course reasons. Not because of anything I did. The course provider assured me, last time I spoke to them, that things had materially changed, in the years since.
So... Apply for that. If I get knocked back again - WHV. Probably Poland. That gives me two years out of this nightmare "country". Then go from there...
That's my current thinking, anyway. Right now? I just want to fuck this place up as much as I can.
No more complying. No more playing their games. No more woke "sportsball". No more news. That's it. I'm done.
Anywhere in the EU is almost as bad, look at what's been going on over there. Also remember that in a lengthy tussle with the EU the Poles finally agreed with the EU's demand to dissolve their own sovereign supreme court. Not a good sign.
That's right, you want to avoid EU countries, they're practically the worst when it comes to vaxmadness and lack of sovereign citizen power.
The states of the former Yugoslavia are crazy for the most part, but very plucky when it comes to disdain of centralized power and most of them are not yet EU.
Central and south America are always at the whim of the current thief-in-chief and most require vax for foreign entry.
Asia is of course, a shithole where government does as it pleases. Africa is baked for the next 100 years at least, no options there.
The great reset is a mighty overlord and difficult to escape.
I try to see the silver linings, at least in other countries. If I didn't, I wouldn't be alive by now...
Not that I don't agree. I just refuse to accept the ubiquity of this state of affairs. Because I need some hope to cling to.
You can't live without hope. We already know this, from concentration camps and Jap POW camps of Allied soldiers in WW2, where some of my indirect ancestors died...
I may have given up hope in the immediate future of my country, but I haven't given up on all humanity. Not yet.
Just come to Poland, mate. It's pretty great. The Poles hate their government, and they hate every other government. And the Hate pretty everybody they can equally. It's refreshing.
Thanks a lot! And absolutely, yes! I totally view it that way.
I'm behind where I should be, at this age, in "adulting"-ness, so if nothing else, moving overseas (again) would absolutely force me to get my shit together, and fully properly manage my affairs, without fear or favour, or any real outside help.
Having said that, I survived living and working (volunteering, actually) in India, on my own, and did ok, so I fundamentally can do it. And I have travelled extensively, on my own, including in poor countries, and survived some pretty hectic situations... I just... Could do a better job of it, this time around, I suppose. I've made my mistakes, now. I can do better, the next time this opportunity presents itself.
I just need to work some things out (money, legals, how I can actually do this, when my country won't even let the "unvaxxed" leave), first.
But anyway, yes, I completely agree with everything you said. :-)
Great. A positive and determined attitude will help a lot. The trick is maintaining it even when things go south, which they will. Probably a few times.
I was stuck in a rut in my early 20s. I failed out of college, and was back living with my parents. I was depressed, and directionless.
I ended up fucking off accross the country with a tiny amount of money, and no solid plan. It was really hard. I was always broke. Always had car trouble. Had legal trouble. Eventually, though I got on my feet and, very gradually became relatively successful. I think it made me much tougher, wiser and more confident to have started totally from scratch in a new place. Granted, I wasn't fleeing an insane tyrannical government. That's even a better motivation!

Iceland? Uruguay? Georgia? Mexico?
Even Serbia looks more "democratic" than Australia, after this decision, and that's just... Mental.
Australia has completely lost the plot, now.

Only one of those that offers WHV to Aussies is Uruguay. So that's an option, yes. The others... I don't even know. :-/
Get to the states bru. However you can.
Just come to Poland, mate. It's pretty great. The Poles hate their government, and they hate every other government. And the Hate pretty everybody they can equally. It's refreshing.
Look into the E-3 visa. Besides the TN visa, it's one of the easier immigration visas to get in the United States.
Best of luck. It will probably be difficult, but it may open up opportunities you wouldn't have ever known about otherwise.
