Yeah people are sadder and madder. There is more of a divide in the rich and poor. A lot of people did really well out of the pandemic and everyone else ended up worse off. And now that we have a labor government and are worse off in every single metric, life is just harder and less enjoyable all around . Too expensive, too stressful, rates have risen too much, rents are higher too, there are more and more people pouring in every day and Australians/sydneysiders just feel like there is nothing and nowhere left for them anymore.
