After all the stuff going on in Australia, in the last two decades, I think its a combination of a lot of things...
Everyone is noticing a little bit of the effect but to be honest, I've noticed a lot of things that have changed this country and its a massive snowball...
Probably the worst thing to happen is the amount of restrictions and propaganda applied to them... People have forgotten what restricting society can do to a society... The prime example to that, happened in the 20's in the US... The whole world noticed "Prohibition" yet that was one public nightmare...
Restrictions by laws, produce rebuttal from the public, but not openly.. If you make laws like increased fines for those that do 5 k over the speed limit, it increases by more people going over that speed... Its a nasty cycle, but the worst bit is it removes money from the lower end of society and fills the coffers... Trouble with that is, it costs more to handle the increase in fines and revenue, thus the increase is chewed up on expenditure...
At the end of the day, all it does is make people believe its going to improve things but in fact it makes things worse and people no longer use there own self control..
Buying local would be nice if the government actually stopped restricting farmers from the local markets and stopped supporting large companies against small business, but alas that does not follow the idea of centralisation...
Alas its just a big cycle of poverty and repression.. It would be a lot better if the people where given the freedoms we had 30+ years ago and stuck to running the country for the people and maintaining public entities...
The whole of society is being affected and people only see the restriction in front of them, but are willing to apply more restriction to others.. This turns into abuse of other peoples ways and the revolving door of violence and abuse continues...
The one that annoys me the most is when people say we dont want migrants in Australia.. Unless your full blood Aboriginal, your a Migrant, even being an ancestor of one.. I am and a friend who has an aboriginal ancestor is also, as they have Scottish ancestry too...Every race and religion was in this country within 50 years of settlement and quite a few where on those ships that arrived in Botany bay and then moved around to Sydney harbour...
It would be nice if this country became the "Lucky Country" again and we all got along like 30+ years ago...
Well thats my thoughts anyway...

Approximately 60% turnover in I staff at my place, got to wonder why so many walk . If it is a full time person the replacement is a casual. Rarely is it worth trying to remember the name as some ar gone in a matter of hours.
Thank you, Billy...
Nice name by the way, same as my eldest son...
Talking about tea, i think i'll put the pot on the stove...

Apprentices never start at the top and there starting pay is low, but all there friends tell them they can get high paid jobs, which as we become to know with age, is not true...
PS; I met one that has been trying to get a job for 4 yrs, he wants minimum $1,000 per week... 23 yo and never worked...

Too high expectations on the staff . Most of us are on award wage of about $ 20 , more if a casual. The work load is always increased and the tools and space are decreasing. Not a place for advancement, warehousing and distribution.
The region I live in has a very high proportion of disabled people, almost 20%. Employers are not necessarily supportive.
Unemployment is not usually as it seems . In fact unemployment levels across Australia are much higher than the official figure, due to underemployment. A more compassionate less presumptive attitude is usually the best way to go in the world IME.

Not sure what a high turnover actually is. Work for a large business with about 4000 employees. Turnover is 30% per year. When I asked about this and cost of retraining and loss of continuity for our customers who are constantly having to get to know a new face was told that our staff turnover was not a problem as was below the industry These are not minimum wage roles.
What industry?
30% seems high. We are about 10%.
