The prices have gone up quite a bit in the last couple of years, so not very pleased about that.
00:05
I think it's absolutely disgusting. We're not being looked after as a country when it comes to
00:10
this. The rise of minimum wage is not matching the rise of the cost of living.
00:16
Over the past year and a half, I've been establishing my art business, so I upcycle
00:21
clothes. But because it takes a while and I want to survive, I have to give myself a standard wage.
00:27
And it just means that when you put time and effort into something to make it sustainable
00:31
and beautiful, it has to be more expensive. And I've really, really felt the pressure that people
00:36
have felt to tighten the belts because of that. How is it fair that people are struggling to eat?
00:42
Like, this problem is so wide-stretched and it feels like it's not being listened to,
00:47
and it's just getting worse. We're supposed to live in a first world country, and I think we're
00:51
not realising actually how far behind we are. Our people are struggling, and nothing's been
00:57
done about it. It's just been made harder and harder.
