Australians at absolute ‘breaking point’ amid cost of living crisis

Managing Director at PR Counsel Kristy McSweeney says Australians are at “absolute breaking point” amid the cost of living crisis.
Ms McSweeney's remarks come as a study by economic consultancy Polis Partners revealed that households on average have $10,700 less per year to spend on non-essentials like eating out, holidays, furniture and electronics, gym memberships and savings compared with 2020.
The report also revealing those with a mortgage are the hardest hit with approximately $21,300 less per annum to spend on non-essential spending compared with 2020.
“People are at absolute breaking point, they don’t know what to do and they're not only foregoing luxuries as we often hear about,” Ms McSweeney told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“But people are now forgoing household essentials, they are foregoing feeding their kids, they are foregoing educational resources for their children.
“It is really at that second tier of things people just have to miss out on now which is so damaging to families out there who are doing nothing but working hard and trusting that the government is going to help them out at some point by having a cohesive economic strategy to get the country back on track.”

    Perhaps if Australians didn’t hand over 40% of their income in taxes for a bloated public sector and then give 40% of what remains to the bank for a mad mortgage debt, they could afford to actually live a quality life. But hey one day their home will be worth $2M, so no worries.

    CBA’s head of Australian economics, Gareth Aird, said on Tuesday that not only were further rate rises now a “near‑term risk”, but any cuts will also come slower than previously expected. Most of the expected cuts will likely be pushed back to 2025, he said. He explained that strong population growth, driven by net overseas immigration, has put pressure on the Consumer Price Index. “Most notably the housing‑related components,” Mr Aird wrote. “As a result, demand is stronger and so inflation is falling less quickly than otherwise.” Meaning immigration is the problem. We're inheriting THEIR problems!

    Prices never go down. ^ ONLY UP ^. My prediction about this shonky form of capitalism is coming true. EVERY economy is tending towards hyperinflation, just some economies are in a more advanced stage than others. Wages can never keep up with prices if the benefits of increased productivity and efficiencies never go back to employees, instead primarily into the pockets of greedy CEO's or shareholders who don't deserve it, especially if they only managed to increases profits at the expense of workers or consumers in the first place. A certain precedent of profiteering takes place that needs to be maintained or improved upon each year - without fail or excuse. It's all dandy if the economy is in a healthy state, however once that constant revenue stream begins to dry up, the average person will be the first to suffer from poorer working conditions and decreased purchasing power as these companies go panic-mode over their profit margins, addicted to keeping their bottom line at any cost. Even if it costs lives or the economy itself!

    The government should be putting a price cap on real estates, so no more than a 5% annual increase on rents. That’ll help 3/4 of Australia’s population on rent, would be a good start. Families won’t have to only be eating 1 meal a day, if this changes. Grocery Stores are price gouging their items! Far too many people can’t afford medications due to rise in prices. It’s down right appalling when people have to decide whether they eat or have money to purchase medicines. Public housing needs to be addressed and the price of petrol needs to go down. The Australian government has a lot to answer for…. So many broken promises. We aren’t a lucky country anymore. No one wants to call Australia home, anymore. We aren’t happy.

    Unfortunately this is not a practical solution as for the property owners the costs go up significantly more than 5% per year, what would happen then is all these rental properties would start being sold and renters would have much less stability as it wouldn't be worth it for people to hold onto an investment property if their expenses have increased by 20% or more due to increased interest rates, insurance costs, land and water rates costs, increased maintenance costs etc, but they're only allowed to increase rent by 5%

We are now broke and just working to pay tax and mortgage.RBA didn't do its homework before raising rates.should have checked price gouging and increase in insurance costs every year. We need mass protests on rate hike as every Australian (leaving gas, banks,power,coal and insurance companies)are in severe stress.RBA's decision emptied our rainy day and emergency savings.And still no sign of reduction in rates. If you are looking at USA, then give us 3% rates for 30 year term .they are not feeling it but RBA followed it the wrong way. Mass protests for rate hike is our only way to let them hear us.

    Problem is.. we have this culture in Australia where we just cop it in the chin and keep going, basically get fkd by the government daily. Go look at France and how they react to something the government changes… rightly or wrongly they don’t take shit.

    I just paid $360 to a plumber for a 10 minutes job in the shower. In a city with 5.5. million population you cannot find it cheaper because there are shortage of plumbers. And so everywhere - bus drivers, truck drivers, medical personnel, electricians etc... Because half of the population lives on social payments and do not want to work, and anorther half have to pay higher taxes to suppost those on social welfare. Youg people cannot afford tuition fees at unis and TAFEs because they prefer foreign students with money.

    If it makes Australians feel better, the cost of living on the wh9le is even more expensive here in NZ. I was in Queensland last month and went to a supermarket in an upmarket suburb to get groceries to make dinner for my friends who we were staying with. OMG the cost of pretty much everything was signed ifics tly lower than what we pay in nz. I couldn't believe it. Meat was maybe only slightly cheaper, but everything else was easily half the price to what we pay in NZ; we are talking bottled items, bread, fruits, yogurt, cereals, pasta, frozen items, EVERYTHING. I was shocked. I can now understand why so many kiwis move across- life is still expensive in Australia for sure, but the basics look significantly less. My husband and I calculated that in grocery shopping alone we would probably be about $7k better off a year.

    A big part of the cost of living is high interest rates which is exactly whats taking away from budgets. Higher interest rates, higher prices for everything because small business cant absorb higher minimum wages and interest rates on their borrowings. Just check out the stats, some 5k to 10k small businesses are now closing per month. The more businesses close, the less competition, the higher prices in the future...

    This issue does NOT affect ALL Australians. At lease try to be somewhat factual. It falls predominately on people with large mortgages. People on government handouts are largely immune as their handout is indexed to the inflation rate. Self funded retires are largely immune as investment returns are running well ahead of inflation. Those still working with just a small mortgage or fully owned home are getting along ok. It all comes back to insane government policy regarding artificially low interest rates that created the housing bubble. Those caught by the bubble are the only real casualties.
