Suburbs in Sydney's west,southwest and northwest were the hardest hit,with Blacktown becoming the repossessions capital of Sydney.随着利率继续上升,汽油价格的猛涨,信用卡消费激增,家庭预算更加捉襟见肘,情况将变得更糟。
"When you can go in to any store, and get the best quality and you're guaranteed the lowest prices, there's no reason not to go there,"ALDI超市确实价廉物美,价格虽然便宜,但质量就一定不如Coles & Woolie吗?我个人的亲身经验是未必如此。
Choice sent out secret shoppers to buy a basket of 33 specific items at 111 supermarkets across the country. The basket at Coles cost $97.47, where 10 of the items were on special, while at Woolworths, where only two or three of the items were on sale, the basket came in at $105.43 - 8 per cent more than Coles.澳洲人被Coles和Woolworth这两家垄断的时间太久,盘剥的利润太多,似乎都已经麻木了。
The basket contained 28 branded products and five staples. At Aldi, which only sells products under its own brand, the cost of the basket dropped to $55.70, almost half the price of the major chains.
Spurred on by new figures showing that more than a million households are suffering housing stress, Mr Rudd doubled the number of homes expected to be built under Labor's National Rental Affordability Scheme to 100,000.Investors will be offered $6,000 tax breaks for 10 years - not the five promised before the election - if they rent out their new properties at 20 per cent below the market rate.The aim is to cut rent on a new average three bedroom unit to $280 a week from the current $350 - a $70 saving.
States and Territories have agreed to provide $2,000 per home either through cash payments or in kind, such as via the provision of cut price land or concessions on stamp duty.
One in three injured or killed marine life and birds perished because of plastic waste, according to Australian Seabird Rescue.
Today, about 500,000 plastic bags will be picked up during this year's Clean Up Australia Day.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
