If you can't raise the wage...
bring back rent control, make it retroactive, stop rental hikes for renovations.
Housing should be 20-25% of a salary.
Governments could easily subsidize meat and produce. Ive lived a country that did that. And no, it wasn't a communist country.

Scrap stage three tax cuts. They are regressive. Why must the poorest pay to fix inflation?
Here’s #AlanKohler. I like the cut of his jib.
“…it is perfectly clear that there is no obvious economic benefit from lower taxation, and if anything, the reverse applies.
“Why is that? Well, that seems pretty obvious to me: Education and health care are far more important to economic growth than how much money the professional and business classes get to keep of what they make.
“I doubt this information will ignite a light bulb above any political head, followed by the return of a 67 per cent top marginal income tax rate.
“In fact, the Labor government has even promised to keep the Coalition’s Stage 3 tax cuts, which make the tax system less progressive, not more, so even Labor is on board with the myth that lower taxes promote growth.
“But Philip Lowe has raised the concept of inequality, and he should keep at it.”
