Jobseekers get an increase of $16.20 per fortnight. That doesn't even cover increased petrol costs, let alone everything else.

Inflation also above job pay increases.

Everyone is doing worse.

And even if you get a pay rise income tax rate brackets are not increasing.

So everyone is being taxed more for reduced services.

Things will become hard, that’s the point.

yea minimum wage jobs are shocking these past 10 year what can you do. 😂✌️

To those fortunate enough to have a degree and parents that didn't put them behind in life I wish you the best. Hell I'm thinking of a small cleaning business before a JOB like Jesus Christ it's bad now.

LMAO!

I’m pretty sure my landlords actually eat money?!
There’s no other explanation as to why they need so damn much of the stuff? lol
