It is freaking weird that in order for our economy to fix itself it needs more people to be unemployed .

So its more important to have people on Centrelink & living in poverty than have a working society paying taxes

Unemployment is even worse than that. Unemployment rate is based on working population (either employed or unemployed), if you increase Australia’s overall population (as we do) you artificially push down unemployment rate. The data used to determine size of working population is from ABS survey sent to 24,000 homes. Homeless people are ineligible for survey and now marked as “not in labor force” rather than “unemployed” despite being employable. This again artificially pushes down unemployment rate while hiding unemployment growth.

Why would she be worried? There’s no recession at the reserve bank

close the tax loopholes, scrap the diesel fuel rebate, delete our huge corporate Welfare and tax gas at 25%. It's corporate inflation that's cooking

The question was around the risk of heading towards a recession. And Bullock’s answer was that they’re not concerned that the current increase in unemployment will lead to that

You’re not worried because they’re only 500,000 a year plus massive super exempt from everything. Why would you worry?

Excuse my ignorance but aren’t businesses calling out for employees? I know my workplace is (retail). Our economy is cooked. It’s like half the population are wealthy (due to their properties in recent decades) and the other half are poor

People don’t understand how highly destructive inflation is. Getting it under control is essential to Australia’s future. Unemployment is still historically low.

You need people to be unemployed to reduce inflation- but Centrelink is $400 a week and rent is double that, food is double that, bills, car bills, medical bills, dental ect. People are dying and in pain and no one cares

Interest rate are too concentrated on a small section of the population these days. If you need to take money out of the economy to reduce demand, surely a floating addition to the Medicare levy would have the same effect but spread more evenly. Unless, higher unemployment is the goal to suppress already pitiful wages. RBA business bias strikes again.
