    Angry Monday Rant Australia Post Prices

    Not much to do with punting but I am dam tired of these price hikes and paying more for standard or poor service. I am sending a small packet off to Italy today and they are now asking $30 postage for a small packet to international. These used to cost me $23 to overseas and have seem to have gone up?? Anyone know? Now upon reading online I see they want to hike the prices of stamps up another 25% in January next year! So your $1.20 will become $1.50 etc, no extra benefit to the average person who needs to ship stuff. I've really had enough of these price hikes its not just Aus post but also supermarkets and everywhere else. There seems to be nothing we can do when one needs the service. I am pissed off and sick and tired of the average Joe getting hit for extra money. It affecting all of us no end in sight either. That's my Monday rant. Anyone else and don't get me started on supermarkets with 11 billion profits, interest rate hikes, we are all getting ripped off. I need my regular lady for some stress release texting her now. A good bj should do the trick.

    I think people are fed up with the inflation and RBA rate hikes. The banks still make money by passing the rates to the average people. In the end it's the people who suffer the most.

    Indeed, so why post it here? All these off topic subjects are really devaluing the "benefits" of this site.

    Since we are on the Rant
    I hate it without fail every week, some idiot makes a post on how many times do you punt in a week and how much do you spend.
    And I hate idiots who are simps who over pay shop W/ls and give them gifts, than it becomes the expectation, so prices go up for everyone else.
    That’s my Rant

    Let it all out python.....unloading,ranting and releasing all that unresolved tension is good for the soul.
    I unloaded over the weekend (both sexually and psychologically) and I feel so much lighter today.
    I think punters need to rant and unload regularly, it's like a detox for the body and soul.

    Perhaps the govt could subsidise punting?

    Give a mental health rebate?

    The govt should bring back petrol subsidies. It is because of the fuel prices that our inflation is going out of hand. They're making it an excuse that we don't have enough crude oil processing plants but the reality is that they're exporting it all for useless cash that doesn't get redistributed. That's the Labor govt for you, they've been at it every time they get into power.

    agree but who have we got for choice to vote for? Our quality of life is suffering with inflation and price hikes I think many must be really struggling and that is no good. I'll be living on instant noodles soon.

    I understand that inflation happens every year. Ten years ago many things weren't as expensive as it is now but at least even if you're on the Jobseeker payments you're able to afford a single room rent + groceries for a single person.

    Right now even if you're living in Regional NSW the Jobseeker payments won't be enough.

    The LMITO introduced by the Liberal govt during COVID was actually pretty good - it's like a cash stimulus paid in accordance to your earnings. The lower you earn the higher your offsets are. Even with that small amount of "stimulus" it doesn't cause inflationary flares.

    The problem is immigration intake and corruption. Immigration intake must be balanced according to the country's needs for certain skilled professions, and they must also have the infrastructure to support such immigration. When you see the intake being ballooned out of proportions you know that corruption is at play.

    That guy's gonna be voted out soon. We don't need to do anything as someone will step up and challenge their boss.

    I’m not a labor voter. Never have been.

    I was prepared to give him a go and not bag him. But after the Voice fiasco… no more slack.

    If you want to be accurate you should discuss the free money in the billions donated by our Federal Government to allow everyone to buy a new difgital TV and billions given to Qantas, that set off the current recession. And if you want to be even more accurate, you could ask if the 2019-2020 overseas pandemic should have been avoided. Labs etc. Coverup etc. But let's not go there

    I love the rants threads

    If you are so testosteroned up that can't read anything or do anything that is not related to punting, then don't click on any thread that says 'weekend rant' or 'daily rant'

    My motherland is also facing similar corruption issues that are affecting it's citizens. People can't afford bread but the politicians are getting fatter by sitting in their comfy seats.
