The cost of living and what it means for you

You’ve probably heard a bit about the rising cost of living or you might have even noticed it yourself at the petrol bowser or the supermarket.  

 

We’re in a tricky situation in Australia - we’re dealing with rising inflation, stagnant wages, high national debt, and supply problems caused by global events including the Covid 19 pandemic and now the war in Ukraine. 

 

Economist, Peter Martin, will explain what’s happening with cost of living... how long this pain will last... and whether the pollies who bang on about it in the election... can actually do anything substantial about it!
