It's almost as if the two are linked. Who would have thunk? Maybe this unbridled corporate greed is one of the major underlying causes of the said cost of living crisis?

Qantas ripped us off during the pandemic by not honouring fares and now hold back the number of flights to increase fares.

Price gouging, profiteering, greed.

Greed!

Neoliberalism

Because someone is telling lies to the nation and we have politicians supporting and banking from that. As I said it before when is it enough for these people, where does there hunger n greed stop. Seems like democracy is bought these days on a daily basis.

Because companies have greedy CEOs like Joyce that only care about their own pocket

Because excessive profits are causing the cost of living crisis. Capitalism working without govt regulation, gotta love neoliberalism!

Need a price regulation
