Queensland families, particularly in regions like Gladstone, are facing an increasing financial burden due to the rising costs of essential goods and services. While wages have remained stagnant, the price of groceries, rent, utilities, and other necessities has skyrocketed, leaving many families struggling to make ends meet.
The pressure of managing household expenses is taking a toll on the well-being of individuals, parents, and children alike. The disparity between wages and living costs is unsustainable, and it is time for the government to take action to ensure that families are supported and provided the opportunity to thrive.
This petition seeks to highlight the urgent need for:
Fair wage increases that reflect the rising cost of living.
More affordable housing and rental options for families.
Policies that prioritize the well-being of everyday citizens over corporate interests.
It is crucial that our elected leaders act now to protect the financial security of Queensland families and to ensure that no one is left behind.
We, the undersigned, are calling for immediate action to address the ever-increasing cost of living and stagnant wages in Queensland, particularly in Gladstone. Families across the region are struggling to survive as the cost of essentials—such as groceries, rent, and utilities—continues to rise, while wages fail to keep pace.
As hard-working citizens, we deserve the opportunity to live without the constant pressure of financial stress. Our children, our homes, and our communities deserve better. The current economic conditions are making it increasingly difficult for families to make ends meet, and it’s time for the government to step up and take action.
We demand the following:
Fair wage increases that reflect the rising cost of living.
More affordable housing options for families.
Immediate government action to address the disparity between wages and the cost of essential goods and services.
Policies that prioritize the well-being of families and communities, not corporate profits.
We believe that every family in Queensland deserves to live with dignity, without the fear of barely scraping by. The government must recognize that families, not corporations, should come first.
By signing this petition, we stand united in demanding change. We deserve better wages and affordable living conditions for the future of our children and communities.
