Here's hoping that more people can become homeless, jobless and destitute so that the RBA can cut interest rates.

@Spoon seems to be the attitude doesn't it. Have to assume they don't think it will affect themselves. Bit like the face eating leopard party supporters.

@Spoon An economic system that depends on a certain portion of the population being unemployed... what a strange system.

If only we knew some reason prices are increasing, @Spoon

and could maybe do something to stop it.

But I suppose putting workers out of a job so they can even less afford the high prices, is the only thing Labor wants to do.

@bignose

Hardly seems to make sense to make consuming impossible for some in a consumerist socioeconomic system.

But then, if one were to make a list of the policies that do make sense, one would not need a very big piece of paper.

Given the elaborate systems and laws that set and control the cost of money and labour I'm rather surprised that the cost of goods and services cannot also be controlled.

I'm beginning to suspect that there's no will to do so.
