yeah I’m not so sure about that. be curious to know the demographic they’re polling after seeing the few numbers they put in the report

*Foodbank’s annual hunger report has revealed.

The report, based on a survey of 4,342 people conducted in July, revealed that compared with 2022, about 383,000 additional households struggled to put food on the table.*

The biggest driver of food insecurity was the cost-of-living crisis, with 77% of households saying it was the main reason, up from 64% in 2022. This was followed by low-income employment and inadequate welfare payments, with 42% of respondents saying that was a contributing factor.

More than half (60%) of all food insecure households had someone in paid work.

She comes across like an NT Nadine Dorries.

Seems like a fair comparison!

not really fair at all.

regardless of the side of the divide you stand…shes very clearly got ‘skin in the game’…

just calling her a cunt because she didnt agree with your preference seems a bit abusive…maybe listen to what she has to say?

Saw this the other night. Still feel queasy…

middle of fucking nowhere, that is

A bit late, but just started watching this today and it’s fascinating, if tragic…

Don’t recognise this ‘Australia’. May as well be mars

I wasn’t that far into the outback, but after 8 weeks on the blocks contracted to Jacob’s Creek I can definitely say that there’s some sketchy shit on the borders. nevermind up north where the croc’s are.

I took to heart an old advertisement for the NT that used the byline 'You’ll never never know if you never never go".

I got as far north as Port Douglas. beautiful area, but I didn’t go inland very far.

Wise move.

Port Douglas is paradise, but it’s not real Australia.

yeah, but that’s like defining “real Canada”. it’s so fucking big with so many different aspects and cultures to it, that there is no one definitive example of it.

Also, that’s the beauty of it.
