Big fall from a high position though, isn’t it. Some nations have been mired in stagnant wage growth with decreasing disposable income for years.

lol come on
this has been an abject failure so far
also probably wouldn’t go trumpeting the environmental protection act as a win just yet. unless the objective was to cripple it

It’s not the media.
It’s the Auditor General who has concerns.

The anti corruption body made an auspicious start by seemingly corruptly / compromisedly opting to not investigate a mate…

Yep, if they don’t deliver here they deserve to lose seats to ‘teals’ as much as the LNP. Well maybe not as much.
What revisionist bullshit. The countries housing issues are 3+ decades in the making. Conservatrash pretending these are suddenly new issues or that they actually care about a resolution is just typical of their pathetic politics.

I thought it may have been the South African wicketkeeper.
Luckily most of those tosspots put a dot after their J.

You believe things have improved then?
Liberal were bad, Labor things have gotten worse.
Liberals wont even agree with the Labor cap.
Of course they haven’t improved, neither the population nor the parties (after Shortens campaign) are interested in the doing the solutions actually necessary to start resolving this issue long term.
Everything else is just noise and bandaids. Latest noise is blaming immigration, as if it hasn’t been used to prop up our Economy for ages and to prevent us from “technical” recessions (for both parties).

Well the voters get to decide that by May next year. We are in a per capital recession and a lot of pain out there - I think it’ll be a tight election
The housing problems were much worse under Morrison.
That’s not an answer.
The $300 in energy bill relief came after energy prices sky rocketed which all came after THAT promise that prices would drop $275. 
Most people are worse off than 3 years ago. That’s the key point. In truth, the winner of last election was inheriting the poison chalice. Labor won, copped the environment but haven’t been effective in minimising pain for most.
lol, plenty of ways around it. Ignoring the union scum is very easy
Multi employer bargaining is a fizzler.
The next two points are valid.
Last point isnt really a govt thing.
Sounds like a real tiff between Plibersek and Albo after he killed off Labor’s Nature Positive plans. Apparently Tanya had negotiated an agreement (or a deal) around the bill with the Greens and Pocock. Albo says there was no draft or on principle agreement. Tanya says there was. Pocock backing Tanya’s version of the facts saying they had a deal. Albo has killed off the Nature Positive plan because he knew it would cost federal seats in WA where the plan would be seen as very unpopular- WA premier apparently got in Albo’s ear
Putting people into more debt is not the best way to manage inflation.
But that’s the only tool that’s available.
Personally I’d like to see Superannuation used as a tool to manage inflation. Rather than putting people into debt, we’re investing in their retirement. Which will take the heat off social security and health related funding.

I understand it’s a difficult sell, because cost of living crisis, but I don’t understand how people that actually take a moment to look at what happened can be slamming the government on the economy.
The year they were elected, in fact in the first nine months since they were elected, the RBA hiked the cash rate up 3%.
From a rate of 0.15%.
Welcome to government.
Again, nine months into their term, inflation peaked at 7.8%.
The government has kept employment high, delivered two surpluses, handed out the energy rebate to help mostly lower income people in a non-inflationary way.
And the inflation rate is now 2.8%.
