I have no sympathy for millennials who were ungrateful towards their parents, who raised them during a global financial crisis, during the 90's and did a better job than the millennials are now doing with their kids. What goes around, comes around. Maybe they'll start being thankful for all the things their parents provided them with because they definitely can't provide the same for their kids now. Most millennials in Australia grew up in detached houses but most millennials are living in units, with their kids now. There's a need in this country for young ppl to start being grateful.
Jim is unfit to be a treasurer and not compassionate enough to care for aussies who are really struggling. I could only donate some money and groceries to charities, I can’t do more as I am also middle class, I am seeing lots of aussies are Struggling on daily basis.
We need a strong politician that can tell the rest of the world to bugger off as they will look after Australia first. Get power stations back online to make Australia energy safe. Get rid of the five cent coin means a 5% devaluation in real money on top of inflation.
5c coins?? These are what get me through a week, when I need to get bread and milk to feed my family. I have no problem standing at self serve and paying for $5 of groceries in 5 cent pieces. Money is money no matter the denomination. To those of us that have been thrown into poverty with the loss of work etc, 5c coins are a lifesaver
I use 5 c coins all time! Especially since they started charging surcharge to pay at the fruit and veg grocers shop with a freaking card! So now, too bad! I pay with cash and use my 5c coins to round up, or down! Pffft, cash needs to stay, cause I’m going back to my old ways …no more digital for me
oooh, we are optimistic, we are very optimistic. As more days go by, we become more and more optimistic that Albo and Labor will be blown away at the next election. They are working so hard, at self destructing, and it's working so well.
This is why I'm voting for Pauline handsome she's got balls sick of the liberal and labour party stuffing this country Joe blow on the street Can do a better job running this country
Well, here we are in 2025, what happened to our promised cheaper Electricity that we are told over 100 times that we would have it by 2025 at the run up to our last General Election?????????
Grim Jim telling us what we already know,,,,,but does nothing to fix the problem that he and Albenese caused,,,,he has no idea like his mentor Wayne Swan ,,,😭
People there is no reason to be optimistic, there is a simple reason for this expect things to get there worse in the future.This is the realistic prospect and scenario I see for the coming years so be prepared.
So what do Chalmers and Albo ( and Gallagher do) - up the price of passports by 38.3 % to $412 for a 10 year passport !!Just one thing,I know but would someone in MSM make list of all the items where Australian prices are the most EXPENSIVE ( or near to the most expensive).We used to get value for our pound or dollar in Australia !!Not anymore !!The majority of Australians have just seen their wealth crash suddenly under Albanese Labor and NO- we are not optimistic under Labor / Greens.
My understanding is nearly 30% of the current Australian population is foreign born (I have only read this so I accept the figure may be wrong to something less but still remaining large) My question is what did our military fight for in WW1 and WW2, just what. I am 90, born in Sydney, personally am feeling sick about all of this multiculturalism. DIE = DIE (?). Assimilation in this area to me has always been the go and available and would have added to our heritage and not destroy it.
Bring Casey Gadaleta home! He does not deserve to be abandoned by the Australian government he has suffered enough having his limbs blown off. This shows we cannot trust our government if they won’t even bring one of our own home!
Property owners are sitting on 50% capital gains or more over just the last 4 years, so whats everyone complaining about.. The party has just begun, wait til interest rates fall.. 🎉🎉
Happy to be optimistic about the future, there's supposed to be an election this year yes? As far as tossing the 5c - no thanks, we got rid of the 1c and 2c and prices were suddenly being rounded up or down 5c if using cash, if we toss the 5c will we be faced with 10c round-ups? But if you use card everything is fine, no rounding done 'just' a card surcharge.
Hoard your coins the melt value will be greater than the coin due to inflation continuing forward just look back to 1 2 cent coins they were made of copper.
Stop complaining Do something about it Live in a tent then y'all won't have bills or worry about thy government😂 your mental health will thank you from it
Do a survey to find out how many people struggling voted for labor, greens or teals and then send them a comforting note that reads, you get what you vote for. Enjoy!
I want to be Prime Minister! I would put in place policies that would have this country the richest country on earth within 5 years. A brief example of my policies would include; completely deleting all green agendas and getting coal, uranium and gas back into feeding cheap power into homes and industry. I would make manufacturing an absolute priority, as well as small and large business. I would go for the jugular of education and academia in this country and remove all the BS. I would remove all taxes from gold manufacturing... BUT... would have each gold mining company hand over 10% of all gold mined to the Government for storage in order to maintain the value of the AUD and for the long term benefit of all citizens. I would also make The Commonwealth bank of Australia the peoples bank, returning it to government regulation. The idea of a AusPost bank is ridiculous. I would also make NZ another territory of Australia. 😃
Has he eaten shrooms or something? Proof politicians don't actually live on the same planet as the rest of us fs...
We don’t want optimism.we want election
Optomistic dont pay the bills.
Great - I'll send my bills his way.
Yes & Albotosser
They are living in a different world to the ordinary Australian.
No idea.
It's called the Canberra Bubble
Yeah right....what's next? Singalong with Auntie Albo while you help Uncle Jim to rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic ?
Easy for him to say ffs!!!
Arrogance on steroids
No Sympathies for the Labor Voters that are struggling 😂😂
Me either, or supporters of the libs, teals or greens. All tarred with the same brush.

@Taybridge22 Too late. Young people have already destroyed all hope and future for themselves and they'll can suffer🤣🤣
Is Chalmers ‘optimistic’ similar to Kamala’s ‘Joy’?
😅precisely 🤮
You must have a reliable source of energy to have an economy.
He’ll get a great pension so he has no worries
The only thing I'm optimistic about is a new government in 2025.. Dutton 2025🇦🇺
Dutton is the other a$$ cheek of Albo !?
We have ro stop seeing politics as a team sport ,,as Labor, liberal alliance are 1 team .
Grim Jim has felt our pain for 3 years 🤔 Jim Chalmers = 🤡
Get rid of 5 cent coins, and then everything will be rounded up. It's just another way of hitting hard working Aussie's.
Jim is unfit to be a treasurer and not compassionate enough to care for aussies who are really struggling.
I could only donate some money and groceries to charities, I can’t do more as I am also middle class, I am seeing lots of aussies are Struggling on daily basis.

There are a lot of Australians waiting fo
Optimistic, he says. So what will drop in price. I can't think of anything . Prices will continue to rise until they ease up with Government spending.
Exactly!
We all should send our power bill to Bowen it's is fault of his own making
I have stage IV cancer,I try to be optimistic
Jim is right, we can be optimistic about our future, we can vote Labor out. Thats something brighten our outlook.
This poor chap is completely out of his depth. He must be getting very poor advice.
Neither party understands
...always look on the bright side of life...unfortunately the economy isn't a monty python skit.

Junk Bond Jim has no idea, soon Australian Govt bonds will be worthless if he doesn’t stop spending.
When you’re being paid a fortune, you can say that with a smile.
This is why I'm voting for Pauline handsome she's got balls sick of the liberal and labour party stuffing this country Joe blow on the street Can do a better job running this country

It’s “Junk Bond Jim”....

BLAH BLAH BLAH 😑 CALL ELECTION NOW
It sounds like a promise from a politician, we can trust it right?
They are either utterly clueless or in alternate reality.
Optimistic that Chalmers will soon be leader of the opposition.
speed the day
There must be other projects that they could eliminate to cut the costs. Look at your energy costs and government overspending.
Wonder how much would be saved if we stopped buying solar panels and wind turbines?
Grim Jim telling us what we already know,,,,,but does nothing to fix the problem that he and Albenese caused,,,,he has no idea like his mentor Wayne Swan ,,,😭

I wonder how often this bloody guy goes to woolies?
Captain Calamity Chalmers…..
An absolute astonishing failure
I was told that in 1992.
People there is no reason to be optimistic, there is a simple reason for this expect things to get there worse in the future.This is the realistic prospect and scenario I see for the coming years so be prepared.
Optimistic that things will get worse....
How classic, reminds me of " if they can't have bread, let them eat cakes" 😢
Make your voice count by voting Liberal! Voting for minorities (or worse, not voting) will dilute your anger.

this from the guy who proposed installing defibrillators at crematoriums, that's optimism

Okay for you Jim the liar from the shire on your salary on the public purse
Sent us backwards with no idea of a solution
Really With you lot in charge BRIAN
I would be optimistic for the future if had my snout in the trough
Yeah, when my January bills arrive I will be optimistic that I won't have to decide between eating or paying ever rising electricity bills.
Bring Casey Gadaleta home! He does not deserve to be abandoned by the Australian government he has suffered enough having his limbs blown off. This shows we cannot trust our government if they won’t even bring one of our own home!
Stop paying taxes... they no l9nger go towards improving aussie lives
Chalmers can be optimistic about the future, they are all getting pay rises.
so if you cut out the 5 cents everything goes up 10 cents
The Spin Doctor should be a used car salesman!
Optimistic if Labor is out next election and for a long time to come 😡
This guy is like Wayne swan useless
Time to boot labour greens&teals out now, no more cash O/S our tax money starts at home Albo!😖😖
Philosophy is Great,Reality is Better.
Pay these politicians on performance!!!
Chalmers, you're a dud mate. AND what's worse, you think your doing well.
This man, Jim Chalmers, has trashed the Australian economy For an independent assessment of his financial acumen, just look at the exchange rate!
Property owners are sitting on 50% capital gains or more over just the last 4 years, so whats everyone complaining about.. The party has just begun, wait til interest rates fall.. 🎉🎉
I am optimistic he will be replaced
Ole full of it charmers
No, keep currency as is.
Snake Chalmers, works under the Shady Shadow of Keating and Swan. What chance does our country have????
Tomorrow never comes.
Happy to be optimistic about the future, there's supposed to be an election this year yes?

Great reset coming soon
Why have such pathetic species as police ? The standard is very low.
5 cent coins are useless.
Some ppl wedge 2 of them in the ALDI cart instead of a $2 coin.
We use them, good for little 'finds' when the kids are doing some cleaning.
Labor tick tock tick tock times up 💯🤳👋👋🍌🍌🍌🍌

His new capitalism will kick in soon and it will all ok.
