The government increases the price of alcohol twice a year.

They stupidly import more immigrants than there are houses, so costs go up.

So despite denials Mr Albanese, treasurer Jim Chalmers and the Fed Govt
are the root cause of our economic trouble.

Not to mention the government has been spending like a drunken sailor ever since they were elected and now project a decade of deficits to come.
