Lower living standards and high inflation: it's what Australians unwittingly voted for : Comments

By Brendan O'Reilly, published 27/11/2023

The root cause of initial economic over-heating followed by policies to curb demand has been attitudes of the public, reflected in the governments they elected.

Less than a third of Australians witlessly voted for Labor. A few more voted for the Coalition. Neither are any longer up to the job; and there is nobody else. There hasn't been a half decent government since John Howard, although Hawke did a reasonable job, unlike his successors. There is little to be gained by reading an article merely telling us what we already know.

What the hell can we do about it!

Ttbn,
Are people prepared to do what’s needed ? As long as the $ is the nr 1 religion nothing will be done.

It matters not what government as elected, we would still confront the same inflationary and cost of living issues.

The only difference being, the coalition will usher in nuclear power as SMRs, and with that, lower the cost of living and take the wind out of the sails of inflation. And get started on electrifying the economy.

As what we voted for, the massive increase in migration wasn't one of them. Had this been flagged the election result would have been very different?

I don't see labor with its highly flawed energy policy being returned.

We also need genuine tax reform as a unavoidable flat tax of 15% Taken from all incomes above a generous tax-free threshold.

Are we in a mess?
Can you see what must be done?
Then step forward and do it.
Moaning and groaning about it won't change a thing.

Stop voting in terrorists. Those that foolishly believe voting in “Democratic”elections is Democratic, labour on under illusions of grandeur.

Albert Sneezy is not the problem…you fools that vote are!

If I could vote for Donald Trump, I’d break from the long no voting drought.

Honesty, integrity and truth personified.

Remember back in 2020, the Trump truth was out there; one example, Obama is homosexual, his wife Michelle is a transvestite and their two children are adopted?

Well, Obama has exited the closet, so that part was true! Keep watching!
