Doing my bit for fellow tourists

A sixpack in perhaps?

Ah another good one from you lefties I get it I am drunk..

How's that alcohol tax btw another present from this government..

Inflation (Non Seasonally Adjusted) was 6.1% May 2022, 8.4% December 2022 and 2.1% September 2024 rising to 2.3% November 2024.

Again though, if your talking about "getting it under control" it's trend that matters.

Still waiting for your answer on interest rates.

I answered, inflation under control, interest rates will follow all else being equal. The RBA f**ked up on inflation forecasts and went to late on interest rates, I don't see them risking going too early on the turnaround.

Just a tip for all..

If something is going up it's because of global pressure..

If it's going downs it's because of the government.

If it's not moving it's someone else's fault.

How is a tax rising through indexation that was legislated 40 odd years ago "a present from this government"

Sure, they could try to change the legislation, but then so could have every other government for the last 40 years

Is there really a sneaky new beer tax?

A shadow minister claims Labor broke a key election promise. Is that correct? RMIT ABC Fact Check investigates.

Well no, there are differing reasons, like most components of inflation are driven by outside pressure, but you could exclude the rising cost of housing from that ( and obviously that's a big part ) as that's been deliberate policy from state and federal governments since Howard courted his Battlers

Mate, the tax has gone up with inflation twice a year for forty years.

This latest rise isn't gonna send merkins broke any more than the last 80 rises did.

This bloody system won't let me view your graph, won't let me put those cute little smilies in response to people's posts, enter a handle etc. I'm being repressed/oppressed. Who's in charge around here ? Where's the Customer Service counter? I'm enraged

I'm working with a heap of immigrants at one job. Nice humans and enjoy a beer with them .Trying to communicate in a working environment however is difficult and wastes my time. They lie about their skills and that's dangerous. It can be very frustrating. They get stroppy and to much attitude when make them clean up and carry my tools.

If the government thinks this is the answer to fix the trade shortage their idiots

They don't, they know It's the only real short term answer.

The medium to long term one is obviously training more Tradies. So more apprentices

They've intro'd free TAFE, done a strategic review of the incentive scheme, and responded so far with raising the incentive payment for apprentices from 5k to 10k, there is obviously more needed,

X trail is a good car for a holiday. A tiny bit too big maybe. I’m not sure why Nissans aren’t selling very well.

Japanese tech is the best.

Im alway passing broken down euro cars with the middle finger raised.

On Australia/Invasion Day, it’s a national pastime to make fun of people who buy European cars.

I say There’s nothing more Australian than a Japanese car.

Btw don't call me Mate.. your a wanker and

Probably because if you want bland and reliable as f**k Japanese motoring, Toyota is the go to brand.

Like the fact you used facts in your reply for inflation but not cost of living...

Buy hey you are a leftie your all the same..

May I ask what is so wrong with having certain leftist views?
Is it just because it doesn't align with your opinions?
It's actually ok to have different opinions.

I think it’s sensible to have different opinions based on what one understands the case for the different topics to be.
