Energy prices are up 32.2% year-on-year. The government's energy rebates are the only thing standing between Australians and full-blown panic at the meter box. Spoiler: they're not enough. Bring a candle to your next dinner party — it's "ambience", not desperation.
Rents are up 3.9% YoY and the landlords still haven't got the memo. Vacancy rates are near record lows in most capitals. The dream of owning a home has been replaced by a different Australian dream: finding a rental that doesn't have mould, three flatmates, and a landlord who texts at 11pm.
Insurance costs are surging across the board — home, car, and health. Premiums are up, excesses are up, and coverage seems to be going in the other direction. The system is technically working exactly as designed. That's the problem.
