- Fitzpatrick Advisory Special Counsel Bruce Hawker says the cost of living is “driving” the thinking of Australians at the moment.
According to the latest Newspoll, the Coalition and Labor are polling equal at 50 per cent on a two-party preferred basis.
“My view, and I think it’s one that I’ve maintained consistently as well, is that the government has to be dragging down interest rates, and that means attacking inflation,” Mr Hawker told Sky News Australia.
“Until such time as that happens, I think there’s going to be a lot of uncertainty in the polling, and people are going to be concerned that it’s harder and harder for them to make ends meet - that’s an international problem.
“When those interest rates do come down … then I think we’ll get a better indication of where the two parties stand in the eyes of the electorate.
“What’s really driving people’s thinking at the moment is cost of living.”
ROYAL COMMISSION INTO THE PANDEMIC
We will die waiting.
ROYAL COMMISSION INTO MEDIA OWNERSHIP WITH PRINCE HARRY LEADING !
Get over it😂 there wasn't a manual. The cops lost in court, we just need Andrews to face justice. Royal commissions are a waste of money and recommendations are often ignored.
Some people still believe it was about our health and safety 😂😂😂
I don't care about the Albo supporters struggling with the cost of living because they voted for it to happen 😂😂
I don't care about people who think politicians do anything, fix anything or are worth anything. None are. All problems made worse by them and they create the problems. Doesn't matter what party or candidate, none will do a thing.
Me either. I don't care about people who trust or believe any politicians
Aussie voters will return serve and ace Albonzo at next election !!!
@@info88w11 That wouldn't surprise me at all 🤣
Australia is done. The party was over years ago.
Dutton stands against the terrorists in gaza, SHAME ON ALBO for not taking a stand against islamic terrorist.
If you think the Liberal government would stand against the US governments standing you’re sorely mistaken.
@callumsmith338 why would we want to stand against the USA, they are actively fighting for Israel. Albo is the dog supporting the terrorists.
Let’s be honest, we are all doomed.. there’s no escape anymore, life as we knew it has gone forever 😢
then we have nothing to lose then do we?
@@blackdog417 nope!! Our lives are worth nothing lol oh.. except our pay packets..tempted to rack up a load of debt, have fun then say see ya’s next life ✌️😂
Roads are jam packed with people who can afford petrol. Airports packed with people who can afford holidays. Cars on our roads getting bigger, more expensive and plentiful. Almost nobody growing vegies and fruit at home. Hey the party is still in full throttle as the smart people kick the can a little further down the road!
Indeed, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed! I keep hearing this cost of living crap, and yes, I get that many are struggling. But in South East QLD, the economy is roaring.
Yes all the drug dealers are doing well
Albo is a disgrace, at least dutton isnt a wet lettuce leaf
Different leaf same cabbage
@@rosejadechannel you sound like an Ai. Or are you just a labor supporter?
Young Australians without a house to inherit - get out! FAR better opportunities overseas. In order to afford a house, or non-crippling rent building ANOTHER’S equity, requires an economic contraction you DO NOT want to be there to experience. Or stay while chanting "lucky country" from either a room in your parent's house, your Chinese-owned rental that leaves you eating cereal for dinner, or your car-house.
That’s the thing, they won’t be aloud to go to another country.
Have you done this?
This 2030 crap is going to be dystopian times
Why cost of living in China is still very low while many other countries complaint cost of living going up a lot: China electricity per kWh is still 7 cents Euro during peak hours and 4 cents Euro during off peak hours like 20 years ago. China household water bills is still about 4 Euro per month and one taxi ride start from 2 Euro. One bus ride cost 25 cents Euro. And still no property tax.
Meat, fruit and vegie: beef per kg drop to 6 Euro and pork per kg drop to 3 Euro. Water melon per kg is selling at 11 cents Euro. One meal outside cost 2-4 Euro per person.
Australia is China's southern province. Only a matter of time.
Yes and the fulltime wage is $10K
@@joebloggs24 You mean $10k Euro per year after tax. I think people in bigger cities make more than this figure. Also many people will receive bonus on top of that.
Even using $10 K, it is not bad when comparing with Europe. Take Germany as example and use 2200 Euro per month as take home pay figure for most German people. That is about 3142 kWh electricity assuming electricity per kWh is 70 cents Euro. On the other hand , China take home pay is 833 Euro per month or 10k Euro per year. At 5.5 cents Euro for one kWh electricity, China take home pay per month can buy 15,151 kWh electricity.

You'll find on lower wages, more of the basics take up more of the wage, so while it may look affordable, most people can only afford what they earn in one day at work as a monthly electricity bill, or about 3% is fairly immaterial. At 833 euro per month, they realistically should keep the figure to >30 per month whereas a wealthier country with more items covered for their workers enable the essentials to be afforded more readily as some efficiencies arise due to economic development.
FFS Interest rates are NOT high…..they are still at historic lows!!
I don’t think you understand what historic lows means.
@@callumsmith338 It was only in recent years they dropped below 5%. From the seventies until the 2010’s they ranged between 8 & 18%
Tell that to the people selling their homes because they're starving!
@@devinepegasus5532 The Reserve Bank bears a lot of blame for telling people that interest rates were going to stay at unsustainable levels for a long time
NO CHINESE MONEY
Everything costs more than someone's garage sale, I bought a loaf of bread for nearly $5 and a movie at a garage sale for $1 and I thought once upon a time bread was that price 😢
Good to see mycomment was deleted
Gotta love censorship
Waiting in mine to be deleted too
Dutton and Littleproud? Stop having a laugh!!!
With Australia moving swiftly down the path of authoritarianism, a cost of living crisis and the impossibility of home ownership for young people, what better option for leadership than an ex police officer with a net worth of $300 million and an extensive property portfolio?🙄
Sunak wasnt voted in, he should go
$2.30 for petrol,but the roads are packed.defies logic.
The worlds cheapest power is in Paris, France 🇫🇷 & yes its nuclear.
Australia you need to become a Republic to stop the Labor and Liberal Dictators.
Absolute, unadulterated rubbish !
Utterly ridiculous comment ...
Republic won't change shit still have these immoral UN principled clowns in charge
Would be nice.
Our constituion literally says "there will be no stopping of free intercourse between states". But they shut the state borders during cvid.
What sort of a republic?
A aboriginal leftopia republic?
We won't be able to settle this with voting
Have given thought to that. Would require a president that’s not corrupt….. it’s the constitution that would stop corruption me thinks….
Most media outlets are a bit politically biased one way or the other and that’s okay but… jeez… Sky News Australia is about 100 metres up the Liberal party’s arse… they need to back out for some fresh air.
50% still all horns and hooves for Labs. What is "thinking" in this case, it is not applicable at all.
That will be the day when we see petrol, food, electricity and water etc back at the prices of the 70s and 80s.
INTEREST RATES ARE’NT HIGH!!! We had historical low rates cheap money that caused the problem then bloody US money printing!
if ALBO is short of cash as he claims ,"selling his spare house
' on his perks Added up! the Average dude GOD help us ,because ALBO cant 1
I dont trust politicians. Dutton? Albo?
Climate change makes local council rates and house insurance premiums dearer, and those increases are passed on to the tenants of rental properties. The money required to remediate infrastructure after extreme weather events has to come from somewhere. Insurance companies are like any other form of gambling - the house always wins.
Sympathy is between sh!t a syphilis in the dictionary!🤨
Just print more money
I sa😅d 5 yrs ago Dutton could be prime minister
The French revolution was a class issue no....... e-commerce solutions out off pocket expense sheet Oooooo.
Only thing people are talking about 😂 Even in clubs
All the War lords will go into their original shape and rituals/rich in the jungles or aborigines.
