I am a teacher on the top level of pay. I live on my own, as my adult children have moved out and have a mortgage. My divorce placed me in a situation where my mortgage is higher than what it would have been and since I worked part-time whilst raising the children, my superannuation isn't as high as my ex-husband's or any other full-time workers. At the beginning of last year, my budget had me with an excess of $12,000 for the year. This year, there is no excess due to interest rate hikes and other cost of living hikes.

Perhaps businesses should stop pay rises of the CEOs and managers. No bonuses! Put that money into the lowest paid workers they have. They'd still make the same profit.

Perhaps there is another source that should be considered: corporations. Corporations and executives continue to make billions of dollars and yet, the frontline workers of those corporations aren't equitability sharing in those billons of profits.

Handing out more money is NOT the answer! Energy needs to be fixed so prices come down. Besides building a house. Most of our issues are due to the high cost of: GAS ELECTRICTY PETROL fixing these will make alot of things cheaper and soon after it will flow onto everything else.

Raising the wage will make things more worse. It will drive inflation higher as producers will pass on the cost to consumers. The answer is more production by hiring more workers and allowing people who lost their jobs due to mandates to get back into the work force. More supply will lower the cost and tame the demand.

The Australian housing market/real estate was cooling off and correcting from 2016 right up until 2019 - and then they acted. This is well documented. In March 2020 several taxpayers funded "housing protection schemes" were enacted, things such as slashing interest rates to almost zero, allowing early access to superannuation, "homebuilder" and other renovators' programs, increased first homebuyers grants in addition to pre-existing investor protections such as negative gearing. Since 2022, increasing interest rates are being accounted for and countered by unprecedented amounts of mass immigration in order to prevent any price falls through artificially generated demand and therefore artificial shortages. They do not want the correction that started in 2016 after the end of the mining boom to repeat and they are making sure it doesn't - at our collective burden and cost. There would be no issue with this self-serving behaviour if the renting class was not forced to contribute to it. This is discrimination plain and simple, which you need to oppose and resist in any manner appropriate to you. This message is aimed at renters and otherwise homeless, you need to present a united front and resolve this problem by any means necessary. Never forget and never forgive March 2020, when they acted against you.

its possible this may never end, what people have to understand is that a drop in inflation, say from 7 to 5, only means that on average annually everything will rise in price by that amount, its cumulative, 7 + 7 + 5 is 19, but with wages and pensions and investment returns, think bank interest, stuck under 4 or so, even with falling inflation we are still falling further behind the NEW PRICES, that gap between what things cost and what people are receiving will continue to grow, unless we get to deflation, but to do that we have to be in recession, and government and rba wont allow that to happen, they will cut rates and print money and do all sorts for that (deflation, to correct prices) to not occur, so - we will be trapped, possibly forever, unless we are prepared to endure a recession long enough to achieve the required deflation ...
