‘Jimflation’: Treasurer slammed amid worsening cost of living crisis 

Cost of food up by 11%? Why am I paying nearly double from 2 years ago then?

They'll be feeling electoral pain, and soon ... Worst PM and worst Treasurer... What a combination, and that's just for starters.

I am a pensioner who spends 80% of my pension goes on rent and power bill I only eat one meal a day because I have no money to buy food

Jimflation

You can't throw money at the problem, that isn't a fix. Has never worked. You need to bring down the cost of housing and energy. Cheap energy is the foundation for a healthy economy.

How do you get productivity increases in the strip club?

Ruoert Mudoch makes any crisis worse.

Domestic inflation reflects Domestic monetary policy

Labour should be on our salary and see how tough the Australian people are doing it right now

keep paying people more without extra productivity means everything costs more ,

Smug arrogance will be the downfall of the Albanese Gov.

Labor put their ideology ahead of the wellbeing of Australians.

Labor destroying Australian’s 1 day at a time 🤮

Fooling no one Jim..... just a wannabe

Australians voted for socialism, and that’s what you got. Enjoy

The one thing that would solve the whole issue is drop the net zero direction, drop the green ideology thought mind set, drop the Woke/PC format and get back being a right leaning "work hard earn more" less government in our lives mindset.

To call Jim treasure is an insult

Get rid of the national disability insurance scam.

Horrible government

They feel the pain and the gain from Australian people. Government created by working for corporate and WEF. The people pay while government laugh. One bird two sides?

Snake charmer Jimbo from the Simpsons 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Feel our pain yea right. There getting a pay rise.

The government should stand down asap

I can't recall any politician from any party who knocked back their latest pay increase. What did they do to earn the pay rise? Their justification is "the independent tribunal" worked it out. What was the algorithm that was used?

Chalmers spends extra 315 B borrowed money in the budget. Inflation, Interest rates, going up, yet Jim is still in cog-dissonance.

$4.50 for a capsicum. In a region that grows capsicums. That's all I need to know. Goodbye Australia, hello SE Asia.

The Government of Australia is owned by Foreign Corporations,.....thats the real issue❗

Energy costs are the heartbeat of any economy. Bring back $1.20 diesel and 20cKWH electricity and the whole thing starts to breathe again. Labour has choked and driven our economy down the dunny.

It’s mainly because of immigration and lack of planning of the energy production over the last decade or 2

scraping the fuel subsidy would help.

I couldn't really care less about basket items going up, I'm concerned about the outrageous prices of property, considering we've had 12 or so interest rate rises in a row.

I think that they have to come up with a new line, as I'm sick of hearing how they feel for us. But really they don't give a sh_t.

Proof that whatever this Labor government says - expect the opposite.

Why doesn’t the government tax the big oil and gas companies instead of giving them our natural resources for next to nothing. If they do that problem solved

Michaelia is spot on.

It was suicidal and it started a long time ago, throwing all this money into real estate just created the biggest real estate bubble ever created in the history of mankind. But unfortunately people's greed has been uncontrollable, often when I talk to people they look at me with a big smile and tell me that they have become millionaires because they think their houses are worth millions. The reality is that this is not the case... But by the time they do, it will be too late.

Well said Michaelia Cash !

What does cost of living and mental health issues have in common?…both are caused by Government policies.

I do totally agree with Ms Cash , Jim is "smiling assasin" of lifting already catastrophic cost of living, definitely 🌎👍🐖🇦🇺🇺🇸🤗❤️💯 2:57

Jimbonomics=homegrown inflation, good bye labour 😂😂😂😂and Michaela Cash would make a much better PM than Al-pinocchio 😂😂😂😂

$208,000,000 is what thay get for all the buildings in rates per year roughly in aus and thats not tax on everything so where the money going but in the govement back pocket thats why thay all got a pay rise. the aus people dont get to say shit the govement is meant to be the for the aus people not them

Cost living? who care as long he got big paid $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I won’t be paying more for school fees because this year I won’t be playing them, I mean supposedly they are volunteer payments this year I will find out.

Grim Jim's own words... " HAS AN EXCUSE FOR EVERYTHING, AND A PLAN FOR NOTHING..." I can't wait until the Coalition use this against him in the election campaign!🤣🤣🤣🤣

All Michaelia had to do was be honest. She did that and it's clear how useless Albanese and his party is.

Sell all public housing houses to private and use the money to build apartments for public housing 300 metres in the air like every other country

Which party will start taxing these big mining companies that are rapping our country of nature resources and selling it back to us at inflated prices

when a politician slows their talking to make a point its insulting our intellegence and its their way of saying "you plebs are not smart enough to understand whats goin on so ill educate you" it shits me and both sides do it

Bring on a early election now

Why did M Cash and her party vote for the tax breaks and wage rises?

😂 albo claiming he helped bring Assange home is a fxxking joke cause it wasn't in Australian hands for 14yrs all those agencies chased him and it was an American problem. But now let the criminal run so we don't know what the governments be doing behind the scenes. Real democracy 🎉🎉

The problem is because of Labor the damage is already done. Even if next in power took all the right steps many will not recover from this. Also, I would like to point out the RBA raising interest rates literally doesn't help anyone other than the big 4 banks make record profits off us all.

Hahaha should not laugh nothing new here

Would someone please tell the so called treasurer, that increasing the amount of money circulating in the community, is what causes inflation not decreases it, it's basic economics after all so he should know that, the only way to decrease inflation is to have more products for sale, not more money chasing fewer or the same amount of products.

A labourer on cfmeu construction site takes home $150,000 plus a year

When you have record price levels for food energy petrol it is this that is driving inflation and until jimflation gets it then all pensioners are living now below poverty line

NDIS-Inflation, ImmiFlation, ColesWoolyÎflation

A conservative here. This woman's delivery is terrible, just sounds like another politician, blah, blah, blah. 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Jimflation is ruining people’s lives. He’s cruel

Because of the high cost of living I am starting to become un Australian, just the other day at the pub I went to the toilet when it was my shout, this was Albos fault

We need affordable food prices and less toxic food, we need affordable rental for accomendation! Most toxic food are exsist at high inflation!

Public housing is for homeless people to get themselves together and move to private.its not a forever home it's a stepping stone So many live in cars because of housing commission lifestyles

Don't know how a wage rise is a good thing business will just put up the price again or they will close down or cut people's hours bringing down the cost of living is the start but this government don't wanna do that

The fact that people are surprised that the economy is deteriorating, inflation has increased, taxes and regulations that heavily favour unions are all up - this is stock standard Labour modus operandi. Been doing the same thing my entire life ( since the 1960's. How anyone can vote for these clowns and expect a good outcome is quite frankly unbelievable.

Professional yapper

Energy policy is ludicrous. The massive misappropriation of taxpayers money and resources into uneconomical and unreliable renewable energy policies needs to be stopped immediately. The gross over-regulation of land use which impairs agriculture and prevents land from being released for residential development and land with low density residential development near city centres being redeveloped at a more appropriate higher density needs to be eased (mainly a state government issue).

I’m a very strong supporter of the right wing but she irritates me to hell. Just answer the bloody question please

Lol.... maybe if we stopped supporting these corporate consultants....they may stop laying off Australian staff...

Key question for Albanese and Chalmers. What temperature is the HVAC system in parliament house set at year round? People outside are struggling to heat and eat due to inflation caused by this pair of incompetent ministers. The temperature on the HVAC system should be st at 19 degree during winter and 24 in summer with and ban on personal fans and heaters by all staff and politicians.

Maybe it's due to both governments past and present allowing corporate greedflation to occur... maybe stop paying these corporate consultants so much....may bring the costs down...

Albo/Morrison, i can’t see the difference. How about voting for people like Malcom Roberts. A man that cares about Australians.

God - we need an early election NOW, PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏. We need ONE NATION 🙏🙏🙏

Michaela Cash gives me confidence the LNP is a party who has a moral and economic compass will get things done ....unlike the Labor Green rabble.

That’s true I have seen wages go down in Western Australia, for a final trim grader operator in use to get $65 to $80 dollars a hour,now there paying &48 hour, it’s definitely gone down.wages.

The biggest problem to the people of Australia, families, is, beside catastrophic cost of living , thay are not able to make endah meet from full tome job which is a mistery why,isn't it, definitely 🌎👍🐖🇦🇺🇺🇸🤗❤️💯 12:17

Buy YA CHRISTMAS TURKEY TODAY COS you won't be able to AFFORD IT IN 6 Month's

Always happens with labor when they get in power. Keating,Rudd,now Sleazy. Can't wait for Labor to be voted out.

Yep they give 1 billion to a us company ohh commercial in confidence ohhh we just got a massive salary increase. Ohhh nurses, frontline workers and hospital funding cut, yep we the government fully understand cost of living pressures. We know what is best, I am the prime minister. Ohhhhhh 600k salary for a speech writer to Bill Shorten, yes of course we understand you are doing it tough

The government thinks inflation is caused by the low unemployment numbers. They need a reality check both the government and the reserve bank have increased unemployment, but inflation is still not slowing down.

I keep talking about pay rises and tax cuts. That’s gonna put more money in peoples pockets and increase spending which will increase inflation which will increase interest rates. They only just touched on reducing energy prices which need to be reduced by at least 50%. She did not touch once, on reducing the price at the supermarkets. We all know Albanese is useless. We need to know how they are going to make Australia great again.

I do understand Ms Cash concern but all in all it is good Julian Assange is back to Australia, definitely 🌎👍🐖🇦🇺🇺🇸🤗❤️💯 14:31

LINNING HIS POCKETS FROM ALL AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC POCKETS

The Beyond Reach report predicted this from 2007. We've had three Coalition Governments who did nothing to address this since then. A bit of a reach to blame Labor for what they inherited.

All prices need to be dropped right now to 2005 levels and the inflation will be over. We need restrictions on the big guys how much they're allowed to charge 🙏🙏

Umm. The global economy is on the brink of collapse. On the ground Australia is in a better position than most other countries, why do you think everyone is flocking here.

MC is correct. How do you increase productivity? A. Provide cheap energy.

Sack public servants , simple

Is this a skit? Seriously getting comedy company flashbacks

Isn’t Australia cutting down migration. Everyone I know was getting rejected student visa and still living crisis is getting worse 😂😂😂

God I hate politicians, just answer the damn question, he asked about putting back in the tax cuts, and you ranted on for a couple of minutes about the talking points you wanted.

This man is a big part of the problem his explanations always want you to believe that things have to be as they are and he is working hard to solve the situation , what a load of crap.

She is right on the money 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Gov should talk to Javier and start sacking dep't s-!! Argentina's inflation? 0%

The government cannot fix what has happened and what is coming. All the mistakes were made years ago. Now we get to experience the results.

Labor loves Australians, they can't show it enough, like they are!

Sucking up to corporate Australia means that even though wages have remained stagnant for the last 30 years, the only tool available to the RBA is the completely useless tool of interest rate rises. If Labor was serious about reducing inflation, they would attack it at its core. Break up the Woolworths and Coles Duopoly, get rid of the disgusting taxes on energy, petrol and transport, reduce Income Tax rates to eliminate bracket creep, raise the GST while eradicating ineffective State taxes like Stamp Duty - which should already have been eradicated when the GST was introduced. This government is so bereft of polices that they would rather bring in a million useless migrants to avoid a per capita recession. They would rather shut down coal-fired power stations before suitable replacements are introduced. They would prefer to watch as a million Aussies become homeless instead of fixing the problems with Aussie housing - such as a vacant property tax, tax breaks for the construction of new houses, allowing people to pay mortgages with tax free income on residential properties. Why is this government so stupid and uncreative ??????

Scare campaign by Cash. Ticking off the big businesses agenda.

What Labor is doing to our economy and standard of living is beyond criminal, it's plain evil.

what happened to the good old Charmers chestnut excuse, War in Ukraine?

I would prefer children running this country then the politicians that actually do run it at least I would laugh instead of cry
