Despite three years that has included bad Covid management, no worthwhile action on climate change, floods, fires, droughts and storms, pork barrelling to the max, political scandals one after the other and a trillion dollars of debt with nothing to show for it. The one issue that could see the Coalition rolled at the up coming election is the "RISING COST OF LIVING". Ten years of no real wage growth, now inflation sees everyday necessities rise in price faster than you can say "petrol".

If Morrison really wants to upset the voting public, hit them in the hip pocket, a recipe for a political disaster. In the last year the average workers purchasing power has decreased by $832, health care workers by $967, education workers $1362 and transport workers by a whopping $1497. In the year the cost of childcare rose by 6.5%. The consumer price index was up 3.5%, while real wages fell.

Wow ! $2.70 per day ist just so massive considering we only had COVID-19, floods, fires & un- cooperative citizens like Paul1405 to contend with. Not to mention the hordes of useless !

Indy,

See the aged welfare mob got another undeserved $20 fortnight in booze and pokie money.

Well, you have only got to read the topic lines to know it is a Paul post with false and exxacerated ideas. Blaming a country's leader for floods, fires, droughts, storms, and changes in climate; Paul would have to be a radical and dangerous Green. Attributing the control of the weather to just one man. I would hope Paul is spruking his ideology in public platforms for the Greens so Voters know exactly what Greens believe.

Flood plains are created by floods.

As for flood records, Brisbane is built on a formed flood plain created over thousands of years, and there were much higher floods in the !800s, long before Scott Morrison was born. Get the facts instead of the Greens hype. http://www.bom.gov.au/qld/flood/fld_history/brisbane_history.shtml

The Hawkesbury River flooded in 1857 to a height of nineteen 19 meters which was six meters above the recent flood of 1922.

Of course, the Greens want to blame our Primeminister - in their mind someone must be responsible for the pandemic and the floods. It just demonstrates their ignorance of facts.

I saw that building on flood plains has been increasing since the last big flood. I am not sure why people do not know what is meant by 'flood plains'. Nor am I sure why Morrison is to blame for people building in dangerous areas when it is state governments that have responsibility for planning and building regulations - or the have the ability to take them away from local government as has happened in SA, under a Labor government of all things.

Of course facts and reality are not allowed to get in the way of those blaming the wrong people for the self-inflicted stupidity of people useful to their rabble rousing at any given time. The rabble rousers are the same people who jump on the bandwagon when something happens to their preferred identity group that actually happens to everyone else on a regular basis without comment.

Paul1405,
Pensioners are getting paid from the coffers they helped keep full. What are you contributing ?
$2/week towards your taxpayer funded Govt Superannuation ?
