Did Morrison & Co send your chance of getting a decent pay rise up in smoke?
“Brace yourselves Australia — everyday things are
about to cost more, and your chance of a pay rise has gone up in smoke” [News
Corp Journalist David Ross writing
in news,com,au, 8 March 2019]
Well it had
to happen. After five and a half years of an
Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison Coalition Government the nation has reached what
is known as a per capita recession.
This hasn’t
occurred since the Howard Government’s last full year in power.
Almost sixty per
cent of Australia’s Gross Domestic Product comes from consumer spending and
five and a half years of deliberate wage suppression by both the federal
government and the business sector means the majority of consumers have little
to spend.
The economy
has been markedly slowing under Scott Morrison’s economic policies, first as
federal treasurer then as prime minister.
Annual growth
has now fallen to just 2.3 per cent according to the Reserve Bank.
This slowing
has a cascade effect.
