[The result of all this is going to be stagflation. That is, inflation keeps increasing while wages either stay the same or goes backwards. This is terrible and a huge setback for the country. If left unchecked we might find ourselves like Argentina, once a developed nation with everything going for it, now reduced to 3rd world status.

The Gov needs to react NOW and shut the immigration door before it is too late.[/QUOTE]

I can't stress this enough a 50 grand paying job is no longer enough money. You need to be earning 100k or more just to stay ahead. If your earning less than 100k these days you should seriously start your own business or get a better paid job. You need to invest in the banks and the likes of BHP to earn dividends and franking as extra income. There is no down turn in prices. Youtube premium and my ISP just raised their prices again. You have to pay for everything these days. Some things are just not worth it anymore. Looked at a local cafe was going to cost $60+ to eat there. Crazy fucking pricing its all coming out of your pocket. The war in Ukraine started off a lot of the price hikes. And the Goft spending recklessly overseas when they should fix the fuckin problems like housing that we have here. $1000 a week rent for some people is just nuts. Home loan is a better idea than paying rent. Rent money is dead money. Anyways there is no improvement in site on this you need to get ahead and not be stuck in a bullshit low paying job earning peanuts. I started to work for myself over a decade ago and never looked back. That's Monday morning rant now my Asian busty regular will be over here soon for some relief.
