When it comes to championing the cause of working Aussies, actions speak louder than words.

Labor minister Anne Aly, clad in a $825 Gucci belt, lecturing us on the cost of living crisis is just too much, even for Labor.

It's not the belt itself but the message it sends – a striking symbol of disconnect between Labor’s inner city elites and the people they profess to represent.

Aly represents some of the most hard working and hard up Australians in the country.

But she and her Labor colleagues, representing the party that was once the advocate for the everyday Australian, are now far more comfortable in the halls of high fashion than in the homes of hard-working families.

Despite Aly's home spun stories of personal struggle, her Gucci taste betrays a lack of understanding of the financial hardships facing her constituents.

Who does she think she is?

It’s like she’s rubbing her government’s interest rate hikes, rental crisis and power bill rises in your face.

Australians deserve politicians who not only talk the talk but walk the walk – living examples of the realities faced by the people they seek to represent.

This is not just about a belt; it's about credibility, authenticity, and the fundamental principle of public service.

How hard is it to just bloody represent the people you serve.

In the end, a Gucci belt has no place in a conversation about hardship. 

The truth is that Anne Aly’s Gucci fashion accessory is worth more than the average weekly income of people living in her hard working Perth electorate of Cowan.

Time she woke up to herself.

Before they vote her out.
