- Sky News host Paul Murray says the cost of living crisis is causing more Australians to be “frustrated” and “discombobulated”.
According to data released by Finder, credit card spending hit an all-time high of $35.5bn in January 2024.
The report also found that four per cent of credit card holders had increased their limit to afford a more expensive lifestyle.
“About half of the country believes we are headed in the wrong direction,” Mr Murray said.
“Most people assume that to be the economy, but I think if we are being really honest it is about literally everything, it is about society, it is about values, a whole collection of things.”
Why aren't they happy? Being bled dry, they're on their way to own nothing and we are being told that's the key to happiness.
All these 🐑 don't realise all of o.u.r so called leaders in most countries are w. E.f
Is this all by design to crush the middle class ?
Because that's what it's doing 😮
The last 5 years Australia has lost its way
Its sooo much different now its sad
Australians voted for this, and will continue to vote for this according to the recent by-elections.
@@jackmorganfiftyfivethat is so sad.
5 years ago it was f*ucked
@@jackmorganfiftyfive no mate, there's no difference between the two parties. Both take orders from the big corporations and international bankers. We don't live in a democracy, that's why they keep fucking us no matter how we vote
5 years?
Nah; Australia fell around 2000. It has really been shit from about then
Many of those Australians complaining about the steep rise in the cost of living will, of course, continue to vote Labor. All in the vain hope that Albanese & Co. will listen to them.
I haven't voted labour or liberal the last 3 elections. It's been one nation. Once labour, once liberal.
Liberal is no better,look at the robo debt , went after innocent people
Those are the same Australians who shelled out thousands $$$ to see Taylor Swift. Lots of people with lots of money from property deals out there...
The point is it does not matter who you vote for if you only have a preference for 1 of 2 options. They will use mandatory voting laws and the election cycle to bullshit their way into doing nothing. And who are they taking this advice from? From unelected staffers with dubious credentials.
Where ever Albo goes, misery follows
In my cluture we call him a black crow
🎯☑️
Bottom line: Australia is incapable of ACTUALLY dealing with its housing crisis. Too busy patting your own the backs as "The Lucky Country." Hint - this ends very badly economically and socially.
Just talk to your mates on the mobile....."she'll be right!"
the Immigration Crisis is causing a lot of problems
It was happening before then.
Yep but everyone wanted to call the politicians who call d it out in the 90s ‘racist’
Now they get to learn their lesson
Wait for the rapes and other crimes to take over. Import the third world become the third world. Races of people are not the same. Imagine if I claimed all breeds of dog were the same in every way? I would be laughed at. Wake up Australia
Wait till they bring their twenty family members over.
Who are immigrants in Australia?
Vote one nation
Close the immigration floodgates and most of the problems will get alot better
deportations is on the cards, we were never asked
My recent power bill was up by $250 compared to my power bill the same period last year and for the same amount of power. I'm in Queensland and this is just becoming simply unaffordable. It's only myself and my wife in a 2 bedroom apartment and we are both fairly energy use conscious. Do Origin think I'm smelting iron ore in my home office or something?. Sheesh! What makes it hurt even more is that our Government are forcing us to pay for their ideological "green energy" folly while flogging off our vast natural gas resources overseas for peanuts so that other nations can benefit from them. Either this is the definition of stupid. or our Governments have declared war upon us.
I think it’s called treason!
It is called Tree-son!
YT don’t like my reply, don’t like you to use the tree & sun word.
So Australian government spending thousands of taxpayers dollars on advertising they are saving taxpayers dollars with tax cuts. The rising cost of living also hits pensioners hard as they don’t have a way to increase their income. If the government was serious they would reduce or eliminate GST on fuel which would reduce the living costs of everyone.
People need to know we are helping them so they will vote for us again. 😜
When we give the next 100 million to Ukraine the weather should get gooder and the e safety commisioner will make it safest as safe.
It’s part of the plan.
Like a lot of people I’m still locked out of my workplace due to employers vaccines mandates, how do you think we are fairing
They can't do that anymore. It is illegal.
@@rhyno1740 unfortunately here in Australia they got the state’s to let employers vaccines mandates continue against the federal constitution
@stevenhamilton9790 I am an Aussie, maybe you should look into it. The mandates are non void.
@@stevenhamilton9790 theres is no Australia anymore . we are just an economic zone for the international bankers
ALPs Fault
Australia is doomed.To many people now,Australia is a big country,similar to the size of the USA but alot of Australia is unlivable,everyone lives on the coast...nowhere else to expand...The last couple of years I have actually thought about leaving Australia
Vote 1 nation and stop the insanity
Hanson has not been able to organise her party into one that could be useful in government. If there's a real conservative party out there Australians won't vote for it. Face it.. the Australian electorate are hard left green NIMBY virtue signallers who will vote for Labor, Teals, Greens and Independents.
This will not happen as many new commers are from 3rd world countries and they always vote the Labor, sorry but Australia grew up the most during the "white policy" time.
Just feed us the bugs already ffs
Same with the Brits, Canadians, & the Yanks...
it is called the 5i's
We are on our knees but Albo can let more immigrants in?!
Just wait. They will all soon be bringing in their twenty family members over.
Between 1950 and 2000 the average immigration number per year was 90,000 people but last year we let in 600,000 , thats an insane number
Far out, very climate friendly of you😂
We? No not me
And its from third world countries with vadtly different cultures
Politicians and bureaucrats need to enter into welfare and wellbeing counselling because they all suffer from NFI.
Is that No Fucking Intelligence?
@@evil17No Fn Idea but I like yours better 👍
Bring immigration to 30,000 per yr! Labor must close the flood gates!
Albo doesnt care whst we think
Like it's too late!
So .....all is going to plan
Currently looking for a van to live in but even those have gone through the roof in price thanks to the demand of people moving into cars
If 'not happy' means hoping for rebellion, then yes, Im eureka flag waving not happy.
The system is working exactly as intended
Building insurance under Strata has gone up 53%. That's ridiculous. Australia is a place where there is no control over anything - let it be neighbour behaviour / cost of living / insurance / help from police / domestic violence and so on
Just waiting for the interest rates to rise
You can imagine my surprise as a New Zealander to hear so many y people in Australia are struggling. We get daily articles about kiwis moving to Australia for a better life, and achieving it relative to what they had back in NZ. Clearly things are a struggle in both countries for so many.
It is a cost of taxation crisis
Increase wages = more tax
Increase prices = more gst
Then add indirect tax's , land tax,fuel tax's stamp duty asked on to consumers
Also reduction in services such as police increasing cost of insurance
Wouldn’t be so bad if taxes were voluntary.
@@patrickhenry7721 cash in hand makes some of it voluntary
@@petermurphy2167 Meaning you can evade it sometimes?
My RACQ home insurance went up $600 in one year I have made no claims ever! I am 54
I don't even insure my house any more, I simply don't earn enough money for things like that theses days.
It used to worry me, but not any more,
Stop bringing them all in, simple.
Bracket creep will kill most Australians. The stage 1-3 cuts are far less than the inflation rate and wage growth.
Australians aren’t frustrated - Australians are smitten with socialism
True, and its easy when you are wealthy from property deals as long as the wind farms and immigrants go into someone else's suburb...
My $480,000.00 a year public service job money goes no where fast...
if you earn 480k, and you're struggling, that's your fault.
@@hamishross6966 they will give me a 10% pay rise next month that might help a bit...
The unlucky country now
Everyone should go on strike and stop paying these criminals
The risk averse lived in a bubble for most of the COVID Pandemic. Informed decision-making under uncertainty went out the window during lockdown. These essential members of society are still missing in action. Who is left to run the show? People who are prepared to pay a very high premium for a very low return.
I struggle to buy food!
I work 2 jobs earning over $100000 raising 3 kids on my own. I cannot get ahead. It depresses me. I have nothing to show for my hard work. I cannot afford to go on a holiday. I need a new car but I cannot afford the car repayments. I worry about my quality of life when I am older. If I do not have good health in my old age and cannot look after myself. I will consider voluntary assisted dying instead of being a burden on my family. I would rather die than be put in an aged care facility. The future for divorced women over 50 is depressing. I will be poor despite having a good paying job.
@@Poo-zg8ot Why state your shitty assumption about a situation you don’t know - you like to guess the worst? Why attempt to bring someone struggling further down. Not productive at all. Society needs considerate people, not this
Victim blaming? It was her fault and not her ex to blame right

Massive debts for a tin can house, there’s the problem.
I was saying to my father - I feel like we are so disjointed and misguided
Politicians don’t care !!
Thank you.
Too much bills.
Yep - cost of living biggest issue !
We come off fully fixed end of July and we are dreading it 😢
Both working our guts out full- time. Can't afford holidays, every holiday I see Canberra empty out, and my wife and I have to keep working 😢😢
Even if one has a house/mortgage it's becoming a nightmare.
AWWWWW THAT SUCKS. GET A TENT
How long till a Indian PM? This place is fucked
We're suffering because of previous leaders. Leaders today won't be able to show and tell..
Revolution
We can’t rest on the laurels of being the “Lucky” country, otherwise we’ll end up the very UN-lucky country.

We are so lucky to have albo his word is his bond just keep paying tax ha ha
LOVE THAT ADD!
im in a situation where my rent has gone up $434 a month and on my casual wage I earn $400 more a month then my total monthly rent. So a $100 per week to pay bills, food, petrol?
There was always a cost of living crisis........it's just that many were not aware of it!
So another half of the country think we are heading to the right direction? What’s the point of the argument on a 50-50 here?
I don't believe half the country thinks we're heading in the right direction , what a load of BS !
Those suffering cost of living the most vote Labor. I guess that says everything about Labor voters.
All mainland governments are run by Labor with significant input from the Greens. THAT is how Australia votes...
I understand inflation exists - increase in rent, groceries, fuel etc, and immigration is an issue. However, people also need to take accountability for their financial choices, and that accountability is not spoken about within mainstream media. For example, choices such as credit card debt, car payments (commonly 2 cars within families), buying groceries (in addition to the amount of rubbish food/drink) at Woolies or Coles because it's convenient, rather than finding a cheaper store alternative such as 'Fresh n Save', buying material possessions which you don't need (and using methods such as 'Afterpay') - These are examples which are making people broke, and causing financial hardship. Yes, housing prices have soared, and yes over population is causing supply and demand issues... but when are people going to stop blaming the government, and take responsibility?
Not my fault.
I take it that your wine collection behind you... ?
ALP = Australian Loansharks Party
we have all had a gutsful of labour get em out now!!!!!!!
3:30… there are plenty of skilled people in Australia in all professions - but they have given up, because they realise that they are not paying the bills and they quit.
The newbie’s will figure this out quickly and it will bite the government in the bump…
I am, just watching
Look, to all those complaining, the cost of living crisis is insignificant compared to domestic violence, OK?
No, it isn't. You've got your priorities wrong. Food on the table, a roof over one's head and not living in tents are more important issues.
@@jackmorganfiftyfive tongue in cheek. I know it isn’t the most important, it is being treated as if it is by Albo etc.
Government Surplus = Society's Deficit
It's just a simple double sided accounting system
How is my gas $109 a month. My electricity was just $67 this month.
My partner and I have quick showers twice a week (a shallow bath using iettle water the rest and f the days). Kids have a shallow bath every second day.
Washing cold water.
Wash the dishes using kettle water as well.
We only use the stove top at dinner time. As for the oven we use an electrical air fryer/oven.
We don't use any heating appliances.
I thought gas was meant to be cheaper.
It is meant to be cheaper, they just made it not so…
@@YTGhostCensorshipCanSuckMe I was floored when the bill came. Might buy an electric stove top.
Grim Jim's Surplus's are achieved on the detriment of family budgets. Basically - tax everything. Grim's on a free ride, making himself look good at our expense.
ask Albo how to get blood out of a stone
Cheap independent fuel and coal power is all we need to bring down costs of everything
Settle down Paul Murray barrels of bourbon behind you LoL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crass!
Could be Rum. Or just there for show.
We should start dropping the rent Going up By $200 bucks I can find heaps of rentals
Send more money to Ukraine & MIC & that will lower the cost of living
Why do women start things & men end it..
In the meantime, authoritarian and despotic China and Saudi Arabia are listed as countries with the happiest people in the world in the IPSOS 2023 Global Happiness Level Report.
It's not the first time in history a very rich country became an extremely poor country.
Everything is starting to head that way.
Get ready and make sure you have the resources to leave the country and work and live somewhere else.
It will be too late when our dollar crashes, you won't be able to buy flights out of the country after that.
Have foreign currency, foreign investments, and other safe non-Australian assets.
All the supermarkets are price gouging IGA included in small towns that have no other choice but to pay the high prices or go without. $6.00 for Bananas. Criminal Thief.
Taxing gone up on farming & transport industry left retard . Iga a franchise small business owners aswell
NO CHINESE MONEY TO FUND YOUR LIFESTYLE SO SORRY
What cost of living crisis? We workers have yet to experience such a thing.
Australians don't know what cost of living pain is like, they still have relatively low interest rates compared to other countries hence why people flock to Australia

This guy is so irrelevant, people are doing it tough but he is just a Murdoch mouthpiece with plenty of whining but few ideas on how we solve high inflation and the cost of living. His one solution will always be Murdoch's solution, A Liberal Government in Australia, Trump in the USA and Sunak in Britain.
So what’s your solution Einstein
@@leeevans2929 We are in a global economy, our economy is intertwined with other Western countries experiencing exactly the same issues of cost of living and inflation. The idea that in isolation we can bring down interest rates and there is some magic bullet is nonsense. Libs and Labor are two cheeks of the same backside as are the Republicans and Democrats. It's all about printing more money and spending it on getting re elected. The system is broken and we are drowning in debt both Government and the population.
Giving people money to buy houses they cannot afford, $400 billion for useless submarines and so it goes. Does Murray seriously believe that booting out one Government and replacing it with another is the answer? Was Scomo much better?
Politicians will not fix your problems, only financial education and reducing personal debt will do that.
Do you not agree that these leadership options would be better? Have you seen the state of the world with the other options leading the way?
@@Username-yt4mh Are you referring to third world countries? In that case you should direct your attack on Murray a clearly bloated well fed commentator living the good life whilst whining we are all doomed.
The amount of immigrant inflow is akin to an invasion
