Wages.

We could easily afford beers and parmas if we had the same wage levels as we had 50 years ago

Australians earn **one third **the real buying power of the 1970s.

We earn ONE THIRD of what we used to

**employers took the difference in value **and stores kept increasing prices

the problem is the wages

**join a union **

the thing is CI is more strident in misusing influence in the big more prestigious unis and in history and politics subjects, they try hard to influence the dialogue and narrative

at the smaller unis it's just using soft power on the locals and keeping tabs on Chinese nationals

yup

in my classes ( art and language ) the political influence was subtle but present

the cultural superiority was overt and hard to bear ( from other students )

and there was no way I would use zoom

but I found the teachers expert, helpful and kind

in other classes the influence was much stronger

a better word than believe, which implies that science is faith based

it's accepts, people accept the science

let's not use the language that anti-science want us to use

people can't afford a single family home, even a small one, but they can afford a bigger house that is multigenerational and has more people paying into it
