inflation data released today shows where we are being hit with rising costs.
groceries and rent and insurance remain the primary causes of inflation.
insurances because the costs of extreme weather events is hitting the Insurance companies' bottom line and in order to provide some degree of security the companies need to remain profitable. groceries? well this has been the subject so ardently discussed that its become quite confused. and rents, because interest rates and insurances have hit landlords hard.
is any of this able to be reduced by Govt? what would Dutton do about rents, insurance or groceries? would the Libs put up wages or reduce taxation to the lowest paid (again) to address cost of living?
what should the Lab Govt do?
any suggestions?
