It's a catch 22 however, everything has risen, especially services such as electricity and Gas and insurance well beyond the CPI yet our pay is still not enough to cover all of this.
Unfortunately to blame it on high wages is a furphy as we need to high wages in order just to make ends meet due to corporations making a massive profit to appease their shareholders.
It really peeves me when people blame labor costs when labor costs are just enough to pay the mortgage, pay insurance water, bills rent food etc. If there is anything left then we spend it on luxury goods which are overpriced in Australia.
Lower the cost of electricity, insurance gas water etc.
When corporations make billions and pay bugger all tax and they blame the average worker because their labour cost is high is laughable. We need higher wages just to get by!!!!
