An Australian mother has spoken out about how her family is struggling with the soaring cost of living despite the Reserve Bank boss insisting households and businesses are in 'pretty good shape'.
The comments coincide with research released on Friday, which found that 14 million Australians will significantly downsize their Christmas, with 5.3million of those not able to afford a Christmas meal.
The poll conducted by PureProfile on behalf of The Salvation Army interviewed 2,005 people and found about one in 10 Australians will rely on charitable support over the festive season.
The research also found 57.7 per cent will spend less on food at Christmas, 47.4 per cent will purchase fewer presents, and 41.9 per cent will refuse invitations to social events.
'In this lucky country, too many are going without food, medication and utilities. Many more don't even have housing,' Salvation Army's Major Brendan Nottle said.
'Behind every statistic here is a real person – many desperately struggling to get by and making painful decisions on what to go without... Never have we seen a time where the gap between the rich and poor has been so great.'
