And like that wasn't bad enough then came the national effort to keep wages low so that they didn't also increase in proportion to the houses, just to scrape even more money out of people.

We introduced visas so that companies could claim they couldn't find suitably-qualified aussies to hire and instead bring someone over on dirt cheap wages. How many people lost their jobs? Couldn't find qualified people, my ***. More like 'couldn't find qualified people at the ridiculously low price that I want to pay'.

And whats-his-face introduced Work Choices which really sunk the boot in.

Anyway, my point is that there has been a concerted effort to block wage growth in this country. Now we're in this predicament for no other reason than the sheer greed of your average australian.
