Grin and Chalmers reckons - Inflation going up, unemployment to rise, wages shrinking,  Nothing in it to assist cost of living, just a heap of useless measures, reckons he will build 1 Million houses, pig fly as well, cash for the Uluru statement, more time off at tax payers expense for people having kids.

Exactly. Had a look this morning, and very un-inspiring stuff!

Bazz, spot on regarding the housing proposal, the industry cant cope with the current situation, so wanting a million more homes is ludicrous. They need to commit to better funding of training so we can entice more trades apprentices to address the long term issues in the industry. Short term they need to open the borders to overseas tradies to come in as long as they have a proper trade qual, even offer some incentives to get these guys in. 
I think the child care payments and the maternity leave entitlements are getting a bit out of hand. Call me old fashion but if you have kids then you take responsibility to raise them and pay for them. Also child endourment or whatever its called today should stop with the 3rd child, after that your on your own. My wife worked for years in pharmacies and she had one couple that were on the methadone programme who had 12 kids and were living off the child payments and working the system hard. They mentioned that they will need to have some more kids due to the oldest reaching 18, FMD !!!

The fact that Chalmers told us the last time inflation was this high he was in primary school (1990) tells us just how inexperience this clown is.

Airbus Albo, snake Chalmers and even Dear Leader are staying very quiet about the fact federal Labor has cut $2.4 billion in health funding to the states over the next 4 years. How they can get away with that given the state of health systems nationally is anyone's guess....Dutton should be all over it and hanging them out to dry.

Also BC I see WA had its road and rail budget cut by 10% , no doubt on the way to Victoria to help Dan.

Bazz, they cant touch our 70c in the $ GST so they will look at any other way to screw over WA.

The word secession is getting more attractive since these knobheads started trying to run the country.

I'm not sure I like the idea of President McGowan to be honest 58. Mind you...it's pretty much what we have now just with a different title.
