RE: What the fuck is wrong with this country??
This is as fixed as it gets. There's no way on earth those figures are real. At least Liberal will be in power when the full extent of the economic collapse kicks in and people start losing their houses en masse. There's enough negative equity now to bury 3 countries. The economic mismanagement has never been close to the depths we're about to see unfold.
Anyway that will be the end of my steemit experiment. I have nowhere left to go. I've been living off 1 meal a day for ages and now my rent has been raised by more than 1/3. The internet will have to be sacrificed so I can feed my kids.
It's an insane outcome. I don't see any bright future for the country while the libs are in power.
Why are you only on one meal per day? And that is an insane rent hike.
I feel incredibly powerless to change things for the better right now so am desperately trying to think of what the next steps are to take to try and bring about some positive change. At least in South Australia.
I'm on a disabled pension @mazzle I spend about half of each year not being able to walk. After I broke my back I became uninsurable and unemployable as a result. So with the handful of peanuts I get each week food has been a luxury item for years.
Now my rent is being increased by over 1/3 so I don't know if I'll be able to survive. It was housing commission but they've just privatised it (probably to some government insider or one of his mates) and screwed the rent up over 33%. I haven't seen a real rent increase for ten years, I only find out my pension has had an increase when I get a letter from the housing dept. informing me that my rent has risen by the exact amount of the increase, so any increase in the pension goes straight back to the government. They even take a large percentage of the so called energy rebate.
All those years I risked my life in some of the most horrendous conditions imaginable building this countries infrastructure and paying 80K plus each year in tax was a joke, now I'm treated like I'm not welcome in this country.
That certainly sounds like some dodgy insider deals designed to bleed government funds to a buddy. What a load of shit.
Sorry you're having to deal with the end result of a long line of dodgy deals.
