not to nit pick but if you want the cost of living tackled , talk to the feds
650k net migration last CY = huge pressure on built housing stock = rent through roof (contributor to CPI)plus extra demand - states have to foot the bill for roads schools and hospitals
negative gearing plus CGT concessions = contributes to IP forcing up costs via OO at auctions= bigger mortgages and lost tax revenue
supernnuation concessions = lost revenue
the absolute national treason that is the gas cartel selling $1/GJ gas at net back gas floor (not cap) of $12. Our own gas. Sheer bastardry. Gas sets marginal price of electricity
lack of competition everywhere = monopolised rents and oligopoly
who controls energy policy (hint hint dom gas reservation and taxing outsized profits), tax and competition policy, immigration
may as well chuck thhe failure to implement AML tranche 3 laws (hint hint real estate)
it ain’t the states
