None of this is really addressing the cost of living crisis for so many people. 
When will they do something decent to help those genuinely struggling with the cost of rent? I am fortunate that I do live with my mum and we split… well no she pays more than half, but my contribution to rent is such a high percentage and of my DSP each fortnight. 

and I know they are making changes to the PBS. But medication is still so expensive. I seen a story on the news last night about a lady that has been fighting cancer for 8yrs. One of her medications costs her something like $2,000 a month. BUT if she had a different type of cancer it would only cost $30. This is the case for so many people with education. Some of my meds are cheap and on the PBS. But others, cause I don’t have a certain diagnosis and it’s ’off label’ it’s so expensive. 

all the pollys need to take a pay cut…. They all get nice chunky pay rises while some of us get $3 extra a week.
