There's a pay wall for me but I found it elsewhere.

Is that the blame game in the sense of You can't have your cake and eat it too? Fiscal rectitude sounds good in the abstract, but is a much harder sell in the specific. Don't Australians expect more and better public services, from health, to education, to aged care and child care. If so, it’s a choice they have collectively made but haven’t yet collectively decided how to pay for it. Would people feel better off if government spending was cut leading to lower demand?

I am criticizing this govts over spending like I expect many hundred of thousands of other Aussies families have in silence, those like us suffocating under the increasing cost of living because of rising gvt caused inflation. Everytime we do our f two weekly major shop wife complains that prices have risen again.

Those making the criticism in that article are respected economists who, unlike this govt, would know the sensible way to manage an economy. We collectively are speaking about wasteful govt fiscal spending that we hear about repeatedly on our news platforms, such as the many unnecessary lerks and perks fat cat bureaucrats and politicians are given. One that riles me no end is their taxpayer funded luxury chauffeur driven cars they have at their disposal. Bloody well drive your own luxury cars.

These public servants are also massively over paid so firstly take a substantial pay cut and grant yourselves a pay rise only if in line with all other Australian workers. Hi cost of living effects the middle and lower class most so is hurting everyday Aussie families to the extent that many, mostly the elderly, have to choose between freezing in winter or feeding themselves. While medium and small businesses, the life blood of the economy, have no choice but to dismiss hard working men and women because they cant afford to pay them over the repeated rise in energy costs this govt promised to reduce...
