Farmers call for action as Australian food prices rise!

For sure.

Business has realised that all the Covid Cash handed out to welfare recipients is really very good for their bottom lines.  

Now they will be sponsoring a narrative building process in the media to make an acceptable political argument for sustaining higher rates of welfare benefits on a permanent basis.

I'm not judging the rightness or wrongness of that ... but it is certainly what is happening.

In much the same way Carbon emmision reduction / anthropogenic climate change is the narrative for covering up a future lack of economically recoverable liquid fossil fuels and reducing their current usage.  A way of making future scarcity seem 'voluntary' rather than 'forced'.  It keeps the masses docile and content that we are masters of our destiny.

Again ... not judging ... but that is whats happening.

Being able to locate and assess big-picture data and join the dots with Media messaging and government policy direction is an interesting pass-time.
