Nothing to do with what species of government is running this country. It's what you can change in your own life that may make a difference.

[@jolly1039]

Based on how gov runs economy and infra projects, let's be safe and say never

[@corporateshatak]

Solutions are out there from economists to even in Chat GPT. The question is, do we have a political will to repair our economy?

[@wilbur1884]

☕️👋🤣

[@GazGuitarz]

Klaus Schwab and his WEF are the economic advisory think tank for the UN and EU. He's got this thing called Stakeholder Capitalism . although most would call it out and out Fascism or at the very least a Technocracy. It's not a solution for most though as we are not the Stakeholders.

[@antontsau]

To repair? And how you plan to repair it? If 3/4 of our population are useless trash, not able to compete with 3rd world in any field? Lets build hitech facility - and who will work there, former barista from beach cafe? Lets teach kids STEM - and how many of them will be able to learn anything, not just struggle with Arcane Science? Lets build at least manufacturing plant, anybody can twist nuts! - and who will work there, competing with 20K pa Koreans and 5K pa Mexicans?

I’m not doing another 10 years of this crap. And you bet not a lot of others will either….deny defend depose.

Not 'pre-COVID levels' - pre LNP levels ! - Workchoises, Robodebt and Austerity - wage stagnation.

20 years of kicking the can down the road . Now it begins

[@jonathanchant6655]

Only going to get very worse This is the new norm. Was told prices on food and everyday things are not going back in price and never will

Grim Jim has dug the Hole that deep that jumping up and down he still can't grab the sides to get out. 😂

[@TheGranthigginson]

The crisis has just started the great depression is coming like 1929.

[@paulsz6194]

2:29 This "smart" person believes all 151 seats of Parliament should be made up of independents ( I’m sure they will all get along well!) , namely teals… but I bet he can’t tell you a single thing the current six members have achieved during their tenure in Parliament….

[@jessicaedwards1218]

I bet parliamentarians and the bloody prime minister aren't suffering

[@christophermoore753]

Im fed up with everything jobs less pay loosing hours i hate em all

[@Joshdyisdifh]

Australia needs a new political party called the "Australian Dream" party.

[@aspiringnomadic]

The coalition and this reporter think a decade away is 2029-2030? Can't even get that right, what hope has anyone got?

[@letsgetreal-df7pu]

Chalmers calling for Optimism little easier with he's income!

[@clydesimpson1462]

The grubs have excepted 3 big pay rises in 2 years, so politicians do not feel the cost of living pressures. So out of touch.

[@joebloggs24]

Labor just reported they are $78Bn over budget, so each person needs to cough up an extra $2,888 for their incompetence

[@johnrua-xp4mv]

Come out to the country where we don't have the city luxuries of multiple supermarkets etc, paying around $100 (on average) for a bag of groceries not including toiletries etc - just basic food items...

[@helengormlie966]

when were the teals honest???

[@stevenhamilton9790]

Imagine the homeless people by then let alone every thing else!

[@Boozoobajou1]

In a few years time there won't be any homeless people, drug dependents. I won' explain as to why on here because KZbin will hate it.

[@Beebee_2025]

The sad fact Australians continuously are reminded of is that. When has it ever been the Media's job to inform the public on the crisis situation we are all experiencing. It has become apparent the Gov is not being cooperative &/or transparent by providing information to the public. Why does this current Gov have such a pathetic excuse of being bad communicators.👽👻🤔

[@jimmycook872]

BS again and again and again

Lambi doesn’t have 5-6 years on her Radar………..no surprises there! 🙄

[@Spirillix]

The Greens policies seems like what we need. Liberal and labour clearly don’t care. Yes the greens are very small but they can help pass legislations by declining / approving them right? I voted for labor but at this point there’s no diffrrence between labor and liberal, it’s all run by greed, approving policies that fund their own pockets. Let’s come together and give the greens a chance.

[@ianenglish123]

According to the opposition huh. It's not just Australia It's the whole world. Energy prices rose in the UK by £94 .00 is the last quarter. What's the opposition going to do about it, what they usually do, deflect the blame, as they did when they were in power.
