Half of us are financially rooted, new report
From the files of “news that surprises no one,” a new report has found that almost half of all Australian households spend their entire monthly income, while one in five don’t feel confident they could raise $3000 in an emergency.
The ME Bank ‘six monthly survey of financial comfort’ report found that stagnant wages were leaving many Australians struggling to cover day-to-day bills.
The euphemistically titled ‘financial comfort’ indicator of full and part-time workers has seen a steep decline since February, with just a third of households reporting an increase in annual income over the past 12 months.
One in every two Australians also felt it would be difficult to find a new job, which is the highest number recorded since late 2016.
“It’s clear from the latest report that there are increased concerns around job availability and underemployment,” ME consulting economist Jeff Oughton said.
The report also revealed a decline in comfort levels from homeowners with a mortgage and renters.
“It’s evident that despite the latest monetary policy changes, there remains high levels of housing debt worry and actual payment stress among Australians,” he said.
“The number of households contributing more than 30 per cent of their disposable income towards paying off a mortgage has remained steady at about 43 per cent, while the corresponding figure for renters has risen to 62 per cent – partly reversing the improvement reported in the previous two surveys.”
Financial comfort only increased in high-income households with more than $200,000 in income a year and for those with more than $1 million in their superannuation.
Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe has called for state and federal governments to lift wages for public servants, which accounts for a third of the nation’s workforce, arguing it would stimulate growth across the broader economy.
The government has since shutdown the proposal such a move would have negative repercussions on keeping the budget in surplus.
Nine finance editor Ross Greenwood said the RBA is also calling for more jobs to be created as a possible solution to ease concerns.
“They believe if more people are in work, there is more competition, so wages will rise,” he said.
The “rest of Australia” responded with a hearty chuckle.

And poor ‘financial comfort’ is a feature, not a bug 😉

Unemployment is at 5.2% which is lower than anytime under Hawke/Keating. We are doing OK. It was at 11% when keating became PM. Fact is times have always been tough.
Yes, a higher rate of wage growth would be good, but annual wage growth is still higher than the rate of inflation.

I think the real problem is the massive debt levels around the world. Here in Australia we were debt free in 2007. Then Swan/ALP trashed the budget and we have not run a surplus budget since 2007. Swan was able to spend spend spend because he was handed an economy with zero debt. That no longer applies. If another GFC hits we would have no solution. We are already running deficit budgets and that does not seem to be doing much. Unemployment at 5.2% is better than anytime under Hawke/keating. It was at 11% when keating became PM
Perhaps the current mob shouldn’t have doubled the debt, hey
Net govt debt was minus 3% of GDP in 2007 ie less than zero, 13% in 2013 and 19% now. Debt has increased under the Coalition but it has not doubled. May 2014 was the time to hit Labor debt and deficit disaster but Australia did not want to do that. Without surplus budgets debt will increase forever and that could not be a good thing
oh nils
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-11/fact-check-have-the-liberals-doubled-net-debt/10595756
What is your point? Coalition tried to do something about Labors runaway debt truck but were blocked by the Senate. Looks like they then gave up. Govt spending cuts will get the budget back into surplus but Australia does not want to do that.
Table 4 says net debt was minus $3.4% of GDP in 2007 ($40B) ie less than zero, 13.1% ($209B) in 2013 and $373B (19%) now.
You should be apologising not giving your stupid opinion

It was minus 3% of GDP in 2007 ie less than zero, 13% in 2013 and 19% now. But they tried to do something in their first May 2014 budget but were blocked by the Senate.

that ” surprises no one ” @-lt certainly doesn`t. This is what you get when you have a Govstapo destroying important things the nation needs at the behest of adolfCorp and its goose stepping white-shirts. As l`ve been saying for quite a while now, our problems are rapidly converging, and the type of fcukwits we have running the show, and the joint into the ground, have no hope in hell turning the ship around. But hey, if the dumbfcuks in charge had bothered to work out the `gdp` of everybody(99%) outside the all-mining sector, it was obvious the wheels were going to fall-off sooner or nearer.
FMD, silly old tunc has tumbled into the echo chamber trying to claim as much victimhood as he can, even tho he has managed to have enough job stability to pay-off `two` houses. Yeah, you`re a `real` economic refugee. )-:
How did we get onto the Vietnam war? Fact is without budget surpluses govt debt will increase forever and that is not a good thing. Only someone that does not care about people would vote for something like that
Is there a single success story that involves high and increasing government debt?
Lefties do not care about people. They think they are doing good if they run deficit budgets and give free stuff to people. It is that attitude why debt always increases under Labor and has continued to increase under the current govt. But that is not caring about people.
“The fucking capitalist world RUNS on debt!”
That isn’t even Eco 101.
Nil just can’t accept the Fact that the libs jave doubled the debt lol
Whatever. Fact is govt debt was minus 3% of GDP in 2007 ie less than zero, 13% in 2013 and 19% now.
Do you know anything about maths and the difference between small and big numbers? It is much easier to double a small number than a big number. So taking debt from 4% to 8% is much easier than taking debt from 50% to 100%.
But you cannot put an increase in debt under Rudd/Gillard because it went from negative to positive. It went from minus 3% to plus 13%.
It’s all going so well

For some reason teaching has become an unattractive career option.
The pay isn’t too bad, the hours are pretty good, I suspect it is unattractive because of the classroom pressure. Who would want to spend their days with kids that often have little structure or discipline at home?
But teachers rather than parents are usually blamed for adolescent behaviour.

From the link
Justice Ferguson made her introductory remarks at 9.30am before handing down the decision to uphold the convictions with her two fellow judges – Justice Chris Maxwell and Justice Mark Weinberg – at the Supreme Court of Victoria in Melbourne.
She told the court that the judges decided the surviving choirboy was “not a liar, was not a fantasist and was a witness of the truth.”
Which means that, in addition to being a pedophile, pell was also a liar and fantasist, among many other things
What does that make of those who publicly supported him, after the evidence had been established?
(For some reason teaching has become an unattractive career option.
Maybe it’s the deprofessionalisation; consistent with a reduction of ‘education’ to ‘teaching’, and a concommitent loss of a notion of the ‘teachable moment‘; which is a consequence of a persistent rehearsal of a Big-Daddy-always-knows-best heuristic?)
That “persistent rehearsal ” is laughable when you consider that this mob is responsible for #robodebt etal
Will George Pell, go to Hell? I do hope so …
It’s times like these I wish there really was a hell TB 😦
What does that make of those who publicly supported him, after the evidence had been established?
Apparently there was NO evidence. Just the testimony of one man. I first thought Pell innocent but it is hard to believe that someone would testify against Pell for so long if the crime did not occur.
But we are all in trouble if you can be condemned on the testimony of one person with no other evidence
nil and bolt, lawyers of the highest distinction
I obviously do not know the full facts and am not a lawyer. But from what I have read there was NO evidence. Just the testimony of one person. The fact that one person still keeps saying the crime occurred does indicate the crime did occur.
But surely you cannot convict anybody on the testimony of one person with no evidence even if the crime did occur. If so we are all in trouble
That’s part of the difficulty of sexual assault cases, generally there aren’t witnesses. I have more confidence in the decision of the appeal judges than the jury.

There seems to be an awful echo in this chamber.
No doubt TB would use the same rigorous standards on a jury as he does when interviewing for a position- his 20 second rule (or was it a more generous 30 seconds?)
This standard that ‘you can’t express an opinion on juries unless you’ve served on one’ (or more than one – we are yet to be told the required number) makes articulating most opinions very problematic.
Unless of course the standard is applied only when it suits your argument. Then it works just fine in shutting up the other person.

Former Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd has bluntly rebuked his own party’s strategy at the election, saying it was particularly unwise for Bill Shorten to campaign on changes to negative gearing and franking credits.
Speaking at a Canberra Writers Festival event this afternoon, Mr Rudd nominated three key reasons for Labor’s defeat in May.
First, he said, the Australian people never warmed to Mr Shorten personally.
“They didn’t like him or trust him,” he said.

… the presentation, body language and NVC of accuser(s), defendants and “witnesses” cannot be described … all jury members become ultra conscious of it …
* I have no reason to boast to people like you, ToSY …
What the fuck has that got to do with you or anyone else?
2. It has nothing to do with me … but my comments fall under your own claim … what the fuck has it to do with you? You constantly play back-up to ToM attacking my comments – wear the shit that you get! Or STFU!

3. A touch more nastiness. Read my comment above and understand how insulting your comment is! 24 jurors, complete strangers, not me, made the decision … quickly … unanimously ** … logically … and with intelligent discussion … twice … that impressed me …
And for the record … I used to employ people within “10 seconds” (an arbitrary figure) – 10 seconds is longer than most people think – stop watch it …
I then studied Counseling and Interview Techniques as part of my degree (boasting ToSY – no apology) … and struggled a bit applying the new techniques … The Minister, wisely suggested that I continue using my “10 second arbitrary” decision and then confirm it applying my new knowledge … worked a treat …

ToM does not need my back-up, Nor do I give it. I criticise (“attack”!) your comments when they are ridiculous. Which is more often than not.
Or rather, I criticise your comments because they are ridiculous.
I find it disgraceful that any “professional” would consider it appropriate to come to an employment decision before the even the basics of an interview were complete.
Regardless of using the balance of an interview to “confirm” a 10 second decision, it is simply disrespectful to people that have spent plenty emotional energy, and anxiety, in preparation.

They recruited lazy, dumb bullies. I’d had little to do with them for a couple of decades. But my recent experience suggests that they haven’t changed their recruitment practices.
They don’t deserve anything beyond the CPI

You have no idea. Literally.
Actually I have more than you suspect ….
Or rather, I criticise your comments because they are ridiculous.
Only to you ToSY … but ignorance is bliss … enjoy!

I find it disgraceful that any “professional” would consider it appropriate to come to an employment decision before the even the basics of an interview were complete.
I’m amazed that any decent company allowed you to apply such a shoddy and third rate practice
“Amazed” … you’ve never employed anyone in your life! Long live the HR Dept. , hey?
Shows your ignorance … in two ways … but ignorance is bliss … you think I’ve never applied for jobs …

And there is another “hint” at your life experiences … I’ve never had a problem with police (all my life) … whenever I’ve interacted with them (I’ve lived in three countries BTW – and visited 40) its always been amiable and to my advantage …
Just to highlight … back in my “band” days, my car broke down just over a railway crossing at around 2AM … the two cops that “checked us out” ended up helping to push start the old FX … great guys …
Active listening, transactional analysis, NVC, body language … they are not just words … they actually work! (If you know how to apply them) … especially if combined with Interaction Management.
Maybe that’s your problem, ToM! Communication … experience and skill …
I know why yer mates and you keep trying … its interesting …
(… its interesting
indeed*)

Hilarious TB. That’s probably why various companies were willing to allow me to change premium rates and even kick in shares.
