What's troubling is that Morrison & co. will not support a wage increase. Mathias Corman, if you recall, stated explicitly that lower wages is central to the LNP's policy. Meanwhile they enjoy the taxpayer funded perks of public office. It is impossible to reconcile that supposedly a religious man will not do what is required to alleviate the hardship others while he posts pictures of his curry nights. Sort of like a FU to the peasants.

" ... CPI SKYROCKETS
The CPI usually ticks along at between around 2 and 3% per year. When Scott Morrison took Malcolm Turnbull’s job in September 2018, it was in fact just 1.7%.
It is now 5.17%.
In the March quarter alone, it rose 2.1%. Since June 2020, it has risen 5.4%.
It is skyrocketing under this Government.
WAGE GROWTH PLUMMETS
Wage growth is usually better than inflation, meaning people are, on average becoming better off as their money is buying more. It usually runs at between 2.5% to 4.5%, and that was certainly the case under the previous Labor governments of Rudd and Gillard.

ABS - Annual wage growth increases to 2.3%)
Under the Coalition, in power since 2013, wage growth has been stagnant and trending down. It now sits at 2.3%.
...BUT NOT FOR SOME
Not for people like Morrison or the CEOs, though. Corporate profits are booming and our Prime Minister is among the five best-paid leaders in the world.

What it means for the average person − people like you and me − is that we are all, on average, about 3% poorer every year under this Government.
Which adds a sense of irony to the Coalition's ‘won't be easy under Albanese’ pitch. The real value of our money is diminishing by 3% every year under the Coalition, wages are stagnant and more and more people are in insecure jobs all the time. ...
... Because perhaps things won’t be easy under Albanese, but they couldn’t possibly be as diabolically bad as they are under Scott Morrison, the greasy.
And they certainly won’t be as sleazy.
