Inflation.... 1973 Style....  (click on image to make it larger)

I'm livin' in the 70's
Eatin' fake food under plastic trees
My face gets dirty just walkin' around
I need another pill to calm me down

I feel a bit nervous
I feel a bit mad
I feel like a good time that's never been had
I feel a bit fragile
I feel a bit low
Like I learned the right lines
But I'm on the wrong show

Upon re-reading, that chart is actually high quality and enduring investment advice.

If u think USA's 2.7% CPLie is bad, just take a look at our home grown version straight from the ABS website.

Annual inflation increased for both the CPI and Trimmed mean in October​

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation was 3.8 per cent in the 12 months to October 2025, up from 3.6 per cent in the 12 months to September 2025.

Trimmed mean inflation was 3.3 per cent in the 12 months to October 2025, up from 3.2 per cent in the 12 months to September 2025.

BULSHIT CPLie is increasing. Looks like Santa may bring AUS 4% ( more realistically 8% - 10% ) Inflation as the Lump of Coal in ur Xmas Stocking
