  • The cost of living crisis is having an impact on medicine affordability for Australians, reveals the latest Patient Experiences survey from the ABS.
    “This is terrifying,” News Corp senior writer and columnist Patrick Carlyon told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
    “People are basically making the choice, 'Well, I don’t want to do what’s best for me and my body and my family because I can’t afford it’.”

    If there is a cost of living crisis in Australia then why the hell has our Federal Government given Papua New Guinea $600M for them to play football.
