Average salary for an aged care worker is between $50-$60 pa, can earn more on night and weekend night shifts with penalty rates. If they have young kids options for extra shifts are limited. Friend, single mother with prep kid, no family here, has him in out of school care, opens at 6.50 am, shift starts at 7 am .
She did OK during Covid lockdowns, as child care and pre school was free .for essential workers without partners wfh.

Well I say a lot of things that are crap, just like you.
I do have issues with the views of younger generations who just want more and more, but I will die soon so it is just something you can ignore.
You are such a dikkhead sometimes.
Very good people have worked hard all their lives and some here think that because the house they bought 50 years ago is now worth a lot of money that they are somehow wealthy.
The trick to that is earn over a mill . If you read todayâs news thatâs the trick. Then apparently you pay no tax at all be ause you can afford the account who knows the tricks

Canât keep blaming boomers ALL the time.
Yes the ones with attitudes of just donât buy lattes and you can buy a house suck.
Itâs simple if we donât like the policies vote for another party . 122 years of labour or liberal in this country.
There are other options! The only way things will change is if the two major parties get smacked at the ballot.
This country has kissed the USA 's ass for far too long.
We are afraid of being ourselves and what used to make us great.
Howâs globalisation worked out? Howâs dropping protective tariffs worked ?
Itâs simple as this we dont have any blue collar industries anymore.
Farmers canât make a living from 100-200 acres anymore itâs all sold off and corporatised to conglomerates from overseas.
We canât make our own ,clothes , bullets ,cars , electronics etc
We can barely grow enough food how many orchards etc donât exist. Go for a drive around Mildura , Shepparton,Yarra valley.
Dairy farmers are walking off in droves.
So donât tell me free trade agreements and globalisation work . It doesnât it works for china. India and 2nd world countries who want to become first world
Want to make housing affordable?
Do exactly what those countries in Asia do.
Donât let foreigners who arenât citizens buy property . Follow their lead. You need a spouse and if you divorce it goes back to the spouse.
There are people here in Bendigo living in tents who are working full time because there isnât enough properties to rent. I know of two who actually work for the government in child protection. They rent because they get moved around.
Someone needs to have the balls to create new policies and call it for what it is
As much as Whitlam did a lot of wrong things ,he at least tried to make Australia for Australians.
And if you look hard enough at declassified info he was removed by the CIA and MI6. Kerr was an agent for the yanks.
They were panicked we would close pine gap
By the way I gen X 1978. We will never be able to help our kids as much as we need to. Even after some us get an inheritance.
Another global market crash is around the corner . The 5th one in our lifetimes.
Let alone the joke of Covid that put us all behind the eight ball .
Between the boomers and us we have seen Vietnam. Two Iraq wars , Afghanistan wars x 2 , Baltic conflict and now Ukraine. They even have a year they expect Ww3.
When you take it in context capitalism as we know it is in big trouble. It is unsustainable.

And if youâre an accountant, that makes over a million, itâs pretty much infinity money.

On the day after thereâll be a discussion on how to make the pie bigger, rather than squabble over how its cut up.
Thatâs such a furphy. The pie has been continually getting bigger for decades, but so has the share of it allocated to the people who already get the biggest slices. If youâre at the bottom end, youâre going backwards.

Real wagesâas measured by average weekly ordinary time earnings for adult employees working full-time, adjusted for inflationâgrew by 0.5 per cent per annum in Australia in the five years to November 2018, which compared with an annual average of 1.8 per cent per annum in the previous five years.
Now do median wages, or bottom quartile wages. Nobody is claiming that high earners arenât doing well.
Your making the claims, get to work.
average earnings is not an indicator for what the actual average Australian household earns - the figure is inflated by wealth inequality
median earnings are something like $10-15k less p/a
