Why the hell is it so hard to find a job here in SE QLD?! My Father left school at 16 and walked right into a job the next day and has been working as a prison manager since. I finish year 12, get an OP 5 and everywhere I look even casual positions want ~3 years experience and a slew of other things, not to mention the distinct LACK of entry level jobs in the first place. I'm 20 now and into my second year of a duel law and business degree and want to be independent (move out, pay for my own lifestyle) but I CAN'T because I CAN'T FIND A JOB.
How the hell is this fair? How can I fix this?

Job ads are wishlists. When they ask for X years of experience or Y education or Z qualifications, that is the ideal dream applicant they wish would walk in the door.
But failing that guy showing up, they will take the best of who does apply. Apply for every job in the field you want, regardless of the minimum requirements they list. If nobody with better qualifications applies - and that can always happen - they'll consider you.

Hit up an RTO and get an apprenticeship
21, also SE QLD, spent two whole years applying for every single job on seek with no success, walk into Franklyn Scholar, immediately get a full time chef apprenticeship without even having to go for an interview
Shit's cash
