Australia MIGHT go into a recession (1 Viewer)

First off, if you look in your school, who's working harder; the kid with parents born in Australia who slacks off thinking it doesn't matter, or the kid with immigrant parents working laboriously and literally depends on their education for a future?

Also, your argument that paying people more will make them want to do the job is false. People would rather have time than money (hence why people procrastinate, and leave things till last minute). Additionally, the Australian budget is not enough to just pay everyone more for what they do, because where is that money coming from? The work that they do. So money is not the answer here.

Additionally, if wages rise than so will the cost of the degree to get that job. Who's more likely to pay off their degree in less time? The person that gets paid 150K per year, or the person that gets paid 100K per year? Clearly, Unis will want to take advantage of pay rises.


This is true. What about Australia's situation after the war, when British people were streaming into the country at such high volumes that Housing could barely keep up. https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/articles/13640

The post-war small home movement that helped deliver the great Australian dream

Tiny houses are all the rage at the moment for people looking for compact, affordable accommodation — but it's not the first time Australians have thought small.

As for nurses, if there's a nursing shortage, paying them more should be the first thing attempted. Instead, nurse pay have fallen in real terms over the past 5 years and weren't rising the decade before that.

The problem as well is the way they are treated, like compared to corporate they are treated woefully. Comparing management styles where I work (corporate) vs my partner (an ICU Nurse), the management style in healthcare is 20-30 years behind modern best practice. Like, so many issues in the profession could be fixed with effective management (which doesn't cost a cent).

Additionally, the Australian budget is not enough to just pay everyone more for what they do, because where is that money coming from? The work that they do. So money is not the answer here.

Unfortunately very true and this is a by-product of COVID. I said at the time and I re-iterate, every dollar wasted fighting COVID was a dollar that wont be there in the future.

However, to my earlier point, with all the uncertainty in the US, Australia should be taking the opportunity to try and rebuild its weak private sector and build up its tax base rather than building growth through immigration/public spending.

I think there needed to be a braver discussion about risk vs reward, safety vs freedom, short term vs long term with COVID. It was too reactionary trying to solve a short term problem without any regard to the long term. Unfortunately, we still haven't had a proper reflection on COVID which reviews the tough questions.
