Milk’s up. Eggs? Up. Lights on? Might cost a kidney! Coffee’s $6. A sandwich? $50.
It’s not one big hit — it’s death by a thousand dollars.
Labor’s cost-of-living crisis is eating Aussie life, one small joy at a time.
Transcript
The price of milk is going up, The price of eggs is going up. The cost of freight is going up. Turning the lights on means selling a kidney on the black market. Everything’s expensive.
Want a Uber Eats sandwich these days? Well, there’s 50 bucks. A quick coffee to warm you up from whatever mini Ice Age we’re shivering in right now – there’s 6 bucks. It all adds up.
Now I like coffee, some days 2. $12.00 in coffee to stay alive. That’s $4,368 in coffee in a year.
Little things add up. 10 years ago it cost $1456 a year in coffee, the odd dollar here and there.
That’s what this cost of living crisis is built on. It’s eating away at the things Australians used to enjoy – one by one.
Even heading down to the pub with your mates for a couple of beers is a luxury expense.
I heard tolls were going up across Sydney – again! Drive across the bridge or have an extra cup of coffee? Turn the lights on or skip lunch? Use the air conditioning? Plug in an electric car to charge?
Are you crazy?
Every Labor tax hike, every bit of kindness to fund Treasurer Jim Chalmers latest thought bubble, every cent squeezed out of you adds up to a personal crisis.
So when we buy our eggs, we buy our milk, we take a detour to avoid a toll or walk past that coffee we can’t afford? Remember Labor’s greed added those costs. One man – $1.00 at a time.
The Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, with a little help of course from Chris Brown and his mad, elusive cheap energy.
I’m of the belief that it is labor’s ultimatum plan to run peoples lives to bankruptcy and to homelessness as to have a population totally self reliant on government handouts . This is how communist countries run , by keeping the population poor and begging makes them compliant and easy to control , like an animal in a circus . The rich will also become obsolete over time unless they relocate overseas . Hmmmm 🤔 doesn’t sound like a bad idea come to think of it
A survey by a Canadian University rated 86 major cities around the world. They compared median house prices with median incomes. If the ratio is less than 3 housing is considered affordable and it was in 1990. After 35 years of continual growth of GDP ( the most misleading statistic on the planet) the average ratio for Australia’s mainland capitals was 9.7 considered impossibly unaffordable and all were in the most expensive 15 of all world cities and Sydney’s ratio was nearly 14. Our next generation can’t afford a house or kids. If the cost of shelter is 3.3 times what is the maximum for affordability no wonder a significant portion of the population is struggling. We have been conned with policies allegedly to help which have all contributed to higher prices.
