British expat cops backlash for calling Australia the "worst country in the world"
British expat and former school teacher Sabrina "Bree" Collins, has faced backlash online after labelling Australia as the "worst country in the world".
The former teacher, who is also a writer, went on an extensive rant on social media about her experience living in Queensland and why she hates it, and the video has since gone viral.
"Australia has destroyed everything that I was before I came here and there's so much that's happened while I've here but it's not safe to go public with everything that's happened to me," she began her rant.
Collins who moved to Australia from the UK, then shared her unsolicited advice for those hoping to migrate Down Under.
"When you're a British woman on the other side of the world, you've really got to sit down and think was it worth it?
"If you're a British person sat home in the UK and you're wondering about this fantastic life you could have in Australia, you need to know a few things first."
She then went on to label Australia as "very sexist", "abusive", "isolated" and "behind".
"The internet is like really behind, technology is behind.
"When you are in Australia you feel really, really isolated. You feel like you're stuck in the 1980s, and if you're a woman it's even worse," she said.
"And I know loads of people are going to contradict what I'm saying and say, 'I'm living a fantastic life in Australia, 'well look at me, look at my CV, look at all my accomplishments before I moved out to Australia, and look at the way I've been treated."
The expat who has a masters degree in education, and more than five years experience as a teacher, has claimed that her career as a teacher was ruined due to the abuse she received.
She claimed that as a result of the abuse, she now feels too frightened to set foot in a school in Australia.
"And that's why I cannot see a purpose or reason to stay in Australia."
She then went on to say that she hopes to move to a "more progressive country" like the US, and write a book about her experiences in Australia.
Her video has not been well-received, with many telling her to leave clowning her for calling the US more progressive.
"Please leave.. and don't trash my country. I've seen yours and you all come over for many reasons," one Aussie commented.
"Don’t let the door hit you on your way out missy!! Bye Felicia," another wrote.
"UK is far more worse than Australia mate. Have lived in both countries here is lot lot better," a third wrote.
"Oh, boo hoo. Please move. As an American, it’s way more backwards than Australia," an American commented on her desire to move to the US.
"You're going to exactly the right place for you. You’ll find the schools are really safe and the police...very safe country for women," another added sarcastically.
Other's pointed out that she was living up to the British stereotype of a "whinging pom".
Collins is not the only British expat to find issue with the way of life in Australia.
A few months ago, another expat went viral for listing things she finds frustrating after living in Australia, although she pleaded for everyone's understanding.
