The problem is smurph, by your prognosis, they will have to bite the bullet and go down some track.
More of the same and lack of action, doesn't sound like an option, in the near future.
The problem is smurph, by your prognosis, they will have to bite the bullet and go down some track.On the specific question of electricity it would be a huge challenge for any government to avert problems at this late stage without resorting to a wartime approach which suspends most normal processes, from finance to environmental, and just makes things happen no matter what.
I doubt either side of politics will actually go down that track.
Haha LOL and that's before you get to plagues and pestilence
Shorten is just Liberal lite more of the same.

Well I'm an eternal optimist that our elected ministers are there to look after ordinary Aussies rather than their own back pocket, yep I'm bound to be disappointed.
So ... Electricity pieces being capped at a price that doen't exceed the CPI is a no brainier to me. Same could be said for private health insurance, fuels prices etc.

This article on the ABC website, should give the Government something to think about.
What people really spend their money, and how hard they are doing it.

I can see why "those who can afford it least" are struggling.
Yeh I know everyone is poor, we all need a big money hit and then we will be happy. As if.You do realise that spending food "on restaurants" aren't necessarily "restaurant", restaurant. Not at some $53 a week it ain't.
At that rate, eating out or ordering in mean fast food or Maccas family restaurant.
So it's due mainly to being poor and overworked, not due to living it large.
For comparison purposes... I got a gift card couple years ago for a fancy night out for 4. One dinner goes for $790. No meal at a restaurant costs under $35 per person. I know, I looked before heading to maccas.
Well since this is a Scomo thread and everyone on here seems to be an expert in running the country... What should he focus on?
No 3. for me is to cap rising energy, private health insurance, fuel prices etc to CPI.
Good point but Scomo has never being one to shy away from a challenge (IMO). But I guess being PM would put some shackles on that now .. unless he can garner a posse with similar traits ...That would be No 1. for me, but the corporate donors would scream blue murder if a government tried that.
No 1 for me, is to get industry moving and get jobs happening.
No2 convince people to take the jobs, it is o.k creating jobs, but people don't want to leave the Cities.
Unfortunately all the mines and towns can't be attached to a bulldozer and dragged to the Cities.
No3 Start and get teaching and nursing out of uni's and back into hospitals and teacher training colleges where they can work out if it is their bag before 3 years of uni.

No 1. for me is to get rid of this PM assassination capability. Elected PM's are just that - can't be knifed without an election.
No 2. for me is to address the drought crisis. No easy solution here and to be honest I have no idea what the solution would be. Lots of Pros and Cons on both sides ...

No 4. Ministers can now have sex with their staff againWell since this is a Scomo thread and everyone on here seems to be an expert in running the country... What should he focus on?
