3THINGS: Gouging, Homelessness + Joffrey
Graetzy's back with 3 Things This Week, where we dive deep into the issues that matter. In this week's episode, we unpack three significant stories shaping Australia. First up, we dissect the groundbreaking Alan Fels review exposing price gouging by Australian companies. From "Drip Pricing" to "Rocket & Feather Pricing," we explore how consumers bear the brunt of these tactics due to a lack of true competition in the market. Next, we address a tragic revelation from Christopher Knaus of The Guardian, revealing the shocking average life expectancy of 44 years for Australians experiencing homelessness. With our housing crisis worsening, this issue demands urgent attention. Lastly, we cover the Rally Against Reckless Renewables in Canberra, where speakers outnumbered attendees. Despite the confected rhetoric, concerns over compulsory land acquisitions for high voltage transmission lines resonate with citizens. We revisit corruption in the electricity market and explore the potential of micro-grids and community batteries as alternatives. Join the conversation at The Undercurrent's website if you have a story worth sharing.
