Australian Contractor Voices Frustration Over Economy and Government Policies
A local contractor has publicly aired his profound frustration with Australia's current economic climate and government policies, stating he has "had enough of this country and our government." In a video widely shared online, the individual, who identifies as a builder, criticized what he perceives as a lack of action from national leaders to address the rising cost of living and hyperinflation. He highlighted challenges faced by businesses, particularly in the construction industry, where he claims "zero profit margins" and a lack of integrity among some trades. The contractor also pointed to significant price increases for materials, citing a specific example of a "Duratech door" from Bunnings Warehouse, which he states has doubled in price from $98 to $200. Beyond economic concerns, the speaker expressed dismay over the state of education, particularly for young people seeking trade apprenticeships, and the healthcare system, where he noted long wait times and increased out-of-pocket expenses for doctor visits. He asserted that current leaders are primarily focused on "lining their rich mates' pockets" rather than addressing the struggles of ordinary citizens. The contractor concluded by suggesting that the only way to succeed in the current environment is through dishonest practices, and called for public action against the government.
