Ok name the policies that you think has caused the decline….. I’m guessing you have no idea ZzzIf you think it is just one policy resulting in it, then maybe this topic ain't for you.
That's the problem with the current conservative movement.Ok name the policies that you think has caused the decline….. I’m guessing you have no idea Zzz
Do you really believe Dutton is going to fix that? Do you believe Dutton even cares about that?How about they address the continually declining disposable income per household in their watch?

Last time they were in power, they had the stated position of suppressing wages to prevent inflation. Then inflation took off because of other factors while the handbrake remained on wages.Do you really believe Dutton is going to fix that? Do you believe Dutton even cares about that?
That's the problem with the current conservative movement.
They've disconnected policy from outcome. It's vibe and only vibe which matters.
Having a plan doesn't matter.
Criticising policy doesn't matter.
The more they disconnect policy from the debate, the better chance they stand.
Any time they're asked a policy question, from the Opposition leader to the average supporter in the street (and POTUS), they look at you like you've sworn at them. They have zero idea about policy.

They’re in their death throes. It’s the last days of Rome.
Every piece of data tells you that their base is dying off and younger people aren’t coming across to them in sufficient numbers to replace them.
Albanese is so incredibly shithouse that he might hand them another term or two, but that will be it - hopefully the wreckage they cause is reasonably contained.
Your chart just shows where inflation affected wages. The real problem is that wages are stagnating relative to profits (chart below). And profits aren't being taxed at a greater rate to build the Commonwealth. So those with wealth (shares, businesses, property) are getting wealthier and wage-earners are not.
The difference between the two major parties is that they both don't want to tax runaway profits, but one works slightly harder than the other to increase wages.
The chart below shows that profits are ~6x higher than in 2001, while wages are ~3x higher.
The coincidence in these charts is that inflation was high because there were massive profits being made. That drove inflation, but wages were suppressed to "prevent inflation".
So according to the major parties, it doesn't matter if Profits drive massive inflation, you just have to let them. But we couldn't possibly let workers get higher wages, that might lead to inflation!

Handouts were a contributor. But basic price gouging by monopolistic companies was the main contributor.Those profits were caused by the covid stimulus that we now have to pay back with interest with our taxes… and we get penalised with increase interest rates.
So the covid stimulus was a massive transfer of wealth from tax payers to the private sector.
Handouts were a contributor. But basic price gouging by monopolistic companies was the main contributor.
Oil companies, for example, just charged more because of relative scarcity, even though the price to extract doesn't change in such a short term.
Lots of other companies did that too, and it filtered through the economy from high gas, electricity and petrol prices to building materials and finally, wages.

Today the Coalition made clear if elected they would sack public sector workers, cut their pay & return to funnelling our money to the big consultants. We lose jobs, pay, expertise, services & money spent in local communities. Good for consultants profits, bad for the countrybsky.app

That’s what small government means. Less policy. Or in their case, no policy.That's the problem with the current conservative movement.

Journos need to start telling Dutton that if it’s so important for Australia’s future that people vote for his policies, he needs to say what those policies are.That’s what small government means. Less policy. Or in their case, no policy.
