“Government Spending Is Driving Inflation” Says Man Also Demanding Government Cut The Fuel Excise

The fall out from the latest interest rate rise continues today, as all sides of politics attempt to blame someone else - while offering up very little in the way of solutions to the very real problem that is driving more and more people below the poverty line every day.

The Treasurer is blaming the people who came before him and the people overseas, which he apparently isn't able to do much about.

The defacto opposition are blaming Albanese and this corrupt government, with their Indonesian bot army hitting every single content section known to a data centre near you with a clear and cohesive talking point - government spending.

And the previous Opposition (half of whom are on track to be completely wiped out at the next election) are of course also blaming the government - for spending to much money and driving inflation.

However, that insistence that it's entirely this government's fault for spending too much money has raised some eyebrows.

Because it comes despite the Coalition's signature policy right now (outside of culture wars stuff like legislating Australia Day), being to cut the fuel excise - AKA spending more morning.

It's a rather curious call to attack the government for spending too much money while simultaneously claiming they would spend fuckloads more money (cutting the fuel excise ain't cheap).

However, given the current state of politics where you can just say things and the majority of the media doesn't have the desire or cultural capital to actually fact check this shit with their audience, the calls aren't likely to draw much criticism.

The government is also yet to respond with any strong tangible things to curb inflation other than hoping everything calms down overseas.

More to come.
