How are Indians Managing to Purchase so many Australian Businesses?
Cafe Locked Out
In these divided times this must look racist, but it’s not. Indians are good people, hard working people with good family values, but you can’t ignore the fact that they are buying up Australian businesses everywhere. Often for more than they are worth.
Is this from Government Grants, as many suspect, but we have no real evidence?
Or is it via low interest loans from Indian Banks?

My brother lives in tiny Pambula on the NSW far south coast. There are currently at least 7 businesses just in Pambula owned by Indians, 2 pubs, bottle shop, newsagents, grocery store, service station. My brother is in the building industry. They were doing some work for an Indian owned business. This owner told them that to purchase the businesses, Indian’s get loans from India! Also, the properties aren’t on the market. They just go in offering big money, too good to refuse.
I saw your post on Indians seeking loans from India to invest here in Australia.
This is true. My mother works with many Indians in a public hospital and they openly tell her this is the case.
Letter Two: Name Withheld,
Her department has been overrun with Indians who are gradually being put into management roles. In turn they are favouring their own with allocating weekend and PH shifts to their own people neglecting the Australian workers. When a casual needs to be called in, its always an Indian.
In a rental situation they offer $100 more to seal the deal. With buying property they out bid with extraordinary amounts.
Their elderly parents here receive free medication. They receive free uni degrees here. The latest is if they opt to complete a Masters degree in their chosen field they are offered 2yrs paid leave prior to commencing their full time work as an incentive. Straight from the mouth of an Indian male very excited to pursue this offer. He advised it “was secret”
A lot of Indians have private health cover here. Indian specialists or GPs refer Indian patients for home care nursing for minor things that dont require home nurse care in many instances. The Indian patients often think they are entitled to have it. Complete waste of nursing resources. Am sure there is more to this rort.
Have even been told Indian and Africans are given discounted gym memberships. This was told to me by the front desk receptionist at a ladies only gym and would certainly explain the glut of these people crowding our gyms now.
My mother has Indians at her work working on full time contract whilst owning a restaurant or grocery store down the road. Constantly on their phones negotiating their other business.
One of the Indian full time workers owns a peanut farm back in India which is very profitable and is constantly going back and forth.
All the while many Australians are looking for work.
Makes you wonder how tax works for them. Different rules I guess.
Also makes me wonder why so many of them are crowding out Centrelink.
One Indian couple husband and wife admitted to living under the same roof under different names and claiming seperate benefits from our government as single people.
Anyway just some insight from their own mouths to make you think how deep and far this goes.

I have no evidence, but, I heard from my old workplace (many Indians) that the Indian govt grants them money to start business in Australia. I would not be surprised if the Aus Govt. would be funding this. The other end of this story is that much of this wealth leaves Australia back to India. AI Overview
In 2024, individuals in Australia sent a record $7.3 billion (USD) in remittances to India, driven by a migration boom. These remittances are private, individual transfers, rather than government-to-government aid.
Here is a breakdown of the financial flows:
Remittances (Private Funds): Indian migrants in Australia send money home to family, making India the top recipient of remittances from Australia (nearly a fifth of all money sent abroad in 2024).
“Rumour”
Mate. They have thier own money. They are immigrants not refugees. They come here for the opportunity to buy businesses because there are businesses here to buy. Every one of these places was on the market and was available to australian born folk but we apparently dont want them. I would rather a family of Indians buy these places than have even more empty buildings in this town
I was told about 6 years ago by an African immigrate in Northern Suburbs that they were all given $34k by the Government to buy a car, but they spend on anything. She bought a car for 15k & put the rest in the bank til she could ad to it as a deposit for a house. She also got Driving lessons for free & went for her licence for free. They were also moved into a newly renovated, fully furnished home at low rent so they could save to buy. I was like really.. ?? And I also heard this from 2 others I then ask..
It’s true. I’ve had a local cafe that the new owner told me he was assisted by government to start the business.
it falls under settlement fees approx $10k per person Inc babies. They get access to loans Aussies cannot get for businesses, I know many who tried. They also get the opportunity on purchase of a business to bring in 5 families to help them all with same settlement.. hence why when they buy businesses, they fast track out existing staff and replace with their own (albeit not all do thus but a fair majority do).. hence why long term aus are struggling to source employment. Also look into the housing loans… I’ve seen some get lower rates that the av aus and their terms are very different… it should be equal footing for all… as we all come from a source of historical families who immigrated to this country and back then they did the hard yards in a very different lifestyle
I think not a rumor. I worked for over 30 years in gov corp family members over 40 years. During this time large amounts of migrants were employed, employment tests were dropped as were other standards. These australian standards were dropped to accomodate and make things easier for those the government wished to employ and promote only to a certain level.These migrants slowly took over our public services promoted for 17 of the 18 supervisory roles in the one department where l worked . The only supervisor that was not a migrant and whose language was clear and easily understood was in tears most weeks as she received none to little help from those others who l might add all spoke in their own language to each other for most of the 8 hour work day. Over the years a couple of english speaking people complained and were told by top teir and union rep they themselves must be racist. Another example is someone l know who has never rented just walked into a beautiful home because his girlfriend is the same nationality as the real estate agent. Aussies wouldnt get a look in. What people fail to grasp is that while creating opportunity for migrants these migrants do look after each other in a huge buddy system the poor old aussie has forgotten about and of course that means the aussie will be the one missing out in many ways they cannot fathom. I also point out these migrants educate their children 7 days a week often group tutoring, their children are not allowed to work while studying unless it is for one of their own businesses and promote the fallacy they are clever and aussies are not. They study 7 days to become clever and the children socialize within these systems of education, religion and group clubs. They have clubs the aussie has never even heard of. The support these cultures have for one another with the help of our government policies is something the aussie simply cannot comprehend. Buddy systems. They have their own money lending schemes for one another and know everything benefit they can claim and most importantly they inform one another. They look out for one another. Convid showed us how divided aussies were and those willing to stick together and those who listened to a government seeking to divide.
Seems all of our pubs have kitchen staff from the same Indian run company. One of the pubs is entirely Indian owned. Our elderly care is council managed but massively imported staff, it seems we get more government support to import that to train or employ local. Positive support, where cutting or removing taxes in those fields, in our regions, would probably be all you need to get us local talent.
It’s been done in Ireland. They get the government grants, and don’t have to pay a red cent back. While Irish people have to pay so much, they are going out of business.
Michael Gray Griffith what rubbish, what has happened it’s because many have just left rural Australia and moved to the overcrowded East coast. If not for immigration these towns would have no local services, including essential services, there’s many an empty town on the newell highway, houses and businesses just sit empty, and those that are open for business, most have job vacancy signs out front yet you say peopleare living on the street. To say there’s homelessness out west is bizarre, many many 100s of empty house in many small townships, what you’re seeing is people leaving their slowly dissapering town, then going to the nearest populated town to scrounge what they can and living in on the streets, whereas if they stayed and help build their community back they could live happily. The grass is always greener for some.
YES ITS TRUE yrs ago was $20000. And you only had to prove you opened the door 2 days a week (not sell anything just open front door) and they get pd fortnightly for this for 2 yrs. Was told by several immigrants first hand.
I heard this from a lady working in Telstra from Mumbai, $35k free rent, Visa passport ,car and food.
She told me back in 2023 thousands were recruited from large companies, businesses in Mumbai to work in Australia.
I heard on Peta Credlins show that they get 70,000 when they arrive in Australia I believe she said we have a very generous settlement package

Circle the wagons!
I guess there are 2 ways of looking at this. The Indian migrants do work hard and are very smart in any business. They also gravitate to tech jobs and government jobs. They support each other. Maybe there is a lesson somewhere here for Aussies. My sister married an Anglo-Indian, that was many years ago, they are in their 70,s now. He liked government jobs. However I do think our government is complicit by insisting we have so many migrants per year. Do we really need this many and shouldn’t they make it better for the people who are already living here/born here first?? We have a housing crisis but our government is more interested in helping migrants than it’s own people. This is hypocrisy to me. It is not the fault of the migrants, for they are just looking for opportunities like anyone would if given a chance. The the fact of the matter is the government couldn’t care less about Australian citizens.
Indian people are deeply spiritual and hard workers – I am currently in Sydney and I see way more Chinese than Indians – what I cant work out is why is the focus only on the Indians – who is steering people in this direction? and why? What is unfair is immigrants get assistance to live here when so many Australians are struggling – is this what they call the great replacement? We can see in Fiji where the Indians have taken over the businesses – and the Fijians are happy being relaxed and enjoying life without the need to work – the thing is that if Australian born anglo Saxon people are seen to support each other they are called racists – they dont seem to be included in the Equal Opportunity list of people as well – so how does that work? Has any one started a class action against this – we dont know our own rights here in Australia nor the laws that are there to protect others….
I worked for TAFE for seven years in regional SA. All of the lecturers were Aussie and we cared for our students by working together to provide a fantastic program in regional campuses, online and video conferencing.
Then in 2013 Skills for All was implemented by the SA government which allowed anyone to open their own training organization (RTO) which then opened the floodgates for bogus RTO’s to open up, such as the ones created by and for Indian students as a way of getting into the country through student visas.
TAFE SA regional,which had been a separate RTO to that of TAFE Adelaide and TAFE North, was forced to merge with these other two RTO’s to become one RTO and we had to compete for funding with these new Skills for All RTO’s which sprung up overnight. The focus of TAFE SA’s management then became on bringing in money and massive campus closures and staff lay-offs, not on education or student welfare.
TAFE SA regional was quickly railroaded by TAFE Adelaide and North who took over running everything and an Indian was put in management of our program area because he convinced upper management that he could bring lots of money into TAFE and ALL of the Aussie lecturers, including myself, were pushed out over the next couple of years.
This Indian threw out our excellent external program, which we spend years building and refining, and replaced it with his sub-standard, un-engaging online courses he threw together in a few days, with little to no lecturer support for the students. He then employed Indian lecturers to replace us. They were employed as casuals who didn’t know how to teach, and students complained that they couldn’t understand them and that they didn’t explain things properly. Courses that were supposed to be taught (by law) over many hours and weeks of student contact were compressed into one-day courses just to make money and it was impossible to learn the subject matter in one day. They didn’t care if students passed or failed, (which most of them failed) as they got paid the huge government funding either way AND got the student’s course fees as well.
I held out for as long as I could for the sake of my students, but in the end they took over the new student counseling program and told them all they couldn’t study at my campus as that certificate wasn’t offered there (which was a lie!) so they had to study online, which doesn’t suit the learning style of many people who would rather the support of a caring lecturer to actually TEACH them! I wondered why I wasn’t getting any new student enrollments till out found this out and when I complained to my manager I was told I had to travel and hour to the city to work with the other Indian online lecturers instead of at my own campus. I realised then that this was their plan to make my position redundant. As I had a permanent position this was the only way to get rid of me, so at the end of the year when I was offered a redundancy package I took it gladly, years before I am able to retire.
The situation in the Universities is very similar. My son, an adult uni student, was constantly complaining to me about the international Uni lecturers who were terrible at what they did and he was always hitting his head against a brick wall trying to get help from these “teachers” who do not deserve to be called that. The international students just get ticked and flicked through their courses because the tertiary establishments make huge sums of money out of them.
Tertiary education has been ruined in this country and I would not recommend ANYONE these days to study at TAFE or Uni unless they find the Unicorn lecturer and management who actually cares about their students and can actually teach! Good luck with that!
