‘Jimflation’: Treasurer slammed amid worsening cost of living crisis

Shadow Attorney-General Michaelia Cash has slammed Treasurer Jim Chalmers as Australians continue to do it tough amid the cost of living crisis.
“Back in the real world, when Australians wake up today, they will be doing tough as a result of the policies of this government,” she told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.
“It’s not inflation; it is Jimflation.”

[@bradj6985]

Sucking up to corporate Australia means that even though wages have remained stagnant for the last 30 years, the only tool available to the RBA is the completely useless tool of interest rate rises. If Labor was serious about reducing inflation, they would attack it at its core. Break up the Woolworths and Coles Duopoly, get rid of the disgusting taxes on energy, petrol and transport, reduce Income Tax rates to eliminate bracket creep, raise the GST while eradicating ineffective State taxes like Stamp Duty - which should already have been eradicated when the GST was introduced. This government is so bereft of polices that they would rather bring in a million useless migrants to avoid a per capita recession. They would rather shut down coal-fired power stations before suitable replacements are introduced. They would prefer to watch as a million Aussies become homeless instead of fixing the problems with Aussie housing - such as a vacant property tax, tax breaks for the construction of new houses, allowing people to pay mortgages with tax free income on residential properties. Why is this government so stupid and uncreative ??????
