Are you saying that the lowest paid are better off now, than before labor came in?

I posted a graph to show the disparity between wages and inflation, the fact you can't follow it, isn't my problem and is probably the reason you are infatuated by Labor, even Keating realised the problem with rampant inflation and decided that a recession was a better choice.


Stop twisting my words the questions are below and if you don't want to answer no problem.

"So are you saying Labor shouldn't have raised wages and tighten conditions for the lowest paid?"

"Should they just continue the Coalition policy of lowest paid being part time with reduced safety provisions in their work place?"

I'm not twisting your words, you are putting up a moral question to an economic decision, but that is how you guys work, so it is to be expected.

I'm just trying to explain that the decision Labor made to crank up inflation, to to mitigate Government debt, was their choice and the fallout is the lower levels of society suffer the most from that action.

You trying to condone it by saying the lower wage earners recieved a pay rise and tax cut, that doesn't change the fact that a 10% pay raise at the bottom level, doesn't cover a 50% increase in their rent, consumables and on top of that the house they were hoping to buy has actually doubled in price.

The silent majority will decide, but I actually hope Labor get in I will be voting for them, this really needs to play out IMO.

If any government wants to control inflation they have to control power prices, and I can't see nuclear doing that. Labor has work to do in that regard, but I give renewables more chance than nuclear of supplying cheap energy.

You mean economic and cultural devastation?

Oh well, won't matter much. Aussies only believe the choice is red or blue and the result will be the same under either until they realise there are other options.

I suppose we'll have to go full Argentina before we go full Argentina, if you get my drift.

What?

I give up.

I have been off the grid for years and pay no electricity charges. I obviously have the fixed costs of solar panels, batteries and inverter etc.

When I think about it, my biggest saving is in cutting out the parasitic middle men, being the electricity retailers.

Time will definitely tell whether that is true or not, there is no doubt it is cheaper, whether it can do the heavy lifting time will tell.
It will be interesting to see if the $2billion given to the smelters is money well spent, at least the media isn't having a meltdown over it.
