Cost-of-living listening tour: what you told us
Groceries, rent, power bills, insurance — we asked Victorians what's squeezing hardest. The answers are shaping our platform.
Sample post — replace with real news in the admin console.
Over the past month our members have been running kitchen-table conversations and market-stall surveys with one question: what’s actually squeezing your household?
The answers were consistent everywhere we went. Groceries first, rent or mortgage second, energy and insurance close behind — and underneath all of it, a deep frustration that governments announce relief packages while the structural problems roll on untouched.
We’re feeding every response into our policy work on housing and the cost of living. Evidence first, slogans later — that’s the Democrat way.
