This is your Centrelink problem... Stop creating a narrative painting people as bludgers

FOH? Call me

Labor area.

This is happening everywhere. The government is paying the blugers too much.

I’m sure your potential workers will materialise when they are assured they; 1. Will be paid the correct rate. 2.Will be paid for the hours they work. 3. Find suitable affordable accommodation. 4. Know they are entitled to the protection of a Union

I would be there in a heartbeat if I could! 👍

He could try offering higher pay?

Eviction bans end for 8 million renters. Could this be the start of a housing disaster?As support for workers and those out of work is wound back, a potential housing disaster looms for both renters and their landlords. If you look at the DOW last night you’ll see a steep decline which will be replicated here and real estate follows 12 months later though in this case it may well be a lot earlier. If people get evicted in huge numbers, rent and house prices will plummet. And considering Covid laws we will need thousands more jails. Realize that rent is used to pay mortgages, taxes, insurance, repair, utilities, site mangers! It's the rent they collect, that pay those bills! Without rent,they are in the same boat everyone else!

'Interest rates will rise and it will be scary': Creighton | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Adam Creighton says he thinks there is going to be a very, very large increase in debt, for Australia and all western countries, coming off the back of the COVID-19 lockdowns. \n\nMr Creighton told Sky News host Chris Kenny there was an average increase of about 20 percentage points since June throughout the G20.\n\n“It’s going to go from 80 percentage points debt to the GDP, to about 100,” he said \n\n“Which is, I think, an even larger increase than during the GFC”\n\nMr Creighton said interest rates were still low, so Governments were getting away with the debt increase. \n\n“I think there’ll be a sudden change eventually, interest rates will rise, inflation will rise, we just can’t predict when that will be.\n\n“When that occurs that’ll be a scary situation.” \n\nImage: Getty\n Adam_Creighton Is this piper actually paid to deliver this stunning insight.
