Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)

[onetrack]

It's not even a $5.00 raise, it's actually only $4.60 a fortnight for a single pensioner and just $3.50 a fortnight each for couples.

 

There's a lot of anger over the miserly increase, directed at the Govt by the pensioners out there, as evidenced by the comments on many "seniors" sites.

 

The Govt claims that inflation is under control and back to 2.4% - that doesn't jell with all the current increases in pricing, in nearly everything I want to buy.

The latest floods will make it worse. Albo was there. It's his fault? Dutton and TATE(Gold Coast Lord Mayor) were away in Sydney Fund  raising for the LNP.  Nev

Woolworths and co need to pull their heads in. Every time I walk in there things are up by $1, last week Nudie OJ was on special at $8.50, it’s normal price before. I only bought it when it was $6.50 on sale.

i like real ok with bacon and eggs on the weekend as I don’t get a crook guts after if I have the OJ, I assume the acid in citrus combats the fattyness of the bacon.

every other item is the same. They are real crooks with their here to help adds. Only their bottom line is getting help. They know we have to eat, other stuff is just ancillary.

Hang on, isn't this the "positives" thread??
