I've never seen such an unprecedented drop off in our competitiveness, quality of life and general liveability in over 40 years of following the economy and politics.
Yes, there has been wage rises but they have been swallowed up by rising energy costs, insurance, grocery, rent, and general costs of getting anything done. Small businesses are going broke everywhere, and inflation of costs is their enemy.
If financial and housing problems aren't enough, we have a huge amount of crime, and health sectors that are not up to scratch Australia wide, particularly ambulance wait times!
