Per capita recessions have been very common in Australia for the last several decades.
I thought labor recently changed the rules regard ing visa hopping which is predicted to get numbers under control?
Since 2019 the Australian economy on a per capita basis has gone down the toilet particularly 2022 through 2024 its not common for sustained multiple quarters. The average Australian is poorer than they were 4 years ago which for a nation with our resources is perplexing. And labor said they would get migration under control 2 years ago noting specific targets none of which they met. Falling standard of living = rise of extreme parties of both the left and right.
