The great Average Australian CON

July 3, 2026

In reply to John Curry of Manly, Qld . The Average Australian, Average Farmer, Average Small Business owner, Average home owner, Average Fish shop owner, Average Tradie etc fall for the same old trap, same old con, in supporting big business – the owner of acres of cattle station in hating the unions, in hating taxation and social services to the advantage of the billionaires.

It’s the average Australian who suffers when bulk billing and Medicare is eroded. When aged care is unaffordable the top 1 per cent are not affected. They can afford to buy their way through the crises like fuel shortages, buying political and media influence. As always it is the start up tradies and small businesses that have fought tooth and nail for a comfortable retirement and to be able to leave a few thousand to their kids that are the cannon fodder in the forefront at protest about a housing crisis or a rise in the minimum wage as proxies for those who inherited obscene wealth and in real terms pay no tax.
