This screams “look we’re doing something about the cost of living crisis!” energy without tackling the major influences in the cost of living like housing and grocery prices.

Labor has attempted to address both house and grocery prices in other manners, though I see no reason to believe their approach to either will be effective.

No they haven’t. They have done squat all 1. The policies did not address the causes of land supply prices (extortion that’s frankly the real problem) and rapidly increasing construction costs. 2. Nothing at all has changed. Point figers all they want the end result is still the same.

Yes, they have tried.

I did state very clearly that in my opinion they have so far not been effective but they have tried which was my point.
Now are you done disappointing your 7th grade English teacher?

You had better go back to school then.
Tried implies something of value was attempted. Nothing of value was attempted. I’ll be sure to capture my next fart and call it cypher’s adorable affordable housing market solution. At least it wouldnt increaase the cost of housing.
