I can’t speak for aus at all. But in Us the main driver in increase to food prices is increased labor costs post Covid. Whether it’s the grocery store, the slaughterhouse, restaurants, or wholesale food suppliers the regular people are paid significantly more. Like 20-40 percent.
Are you trying to tell us unskilled labour salaries in food industries have increased 20-40% since 2021?
I'm sure the people in those industries would have a few things to say about that.

Not to make Aus affordability completely take over, but living in Melbourne seemed to be cheaper than living than living or buying a home than any major city in Canada. Minimum wage also seems to be $26+ for full time or $35 an hour for causal which is $10+ more than the average min wage in Canada, and almost $20+ an hour than the US federal min wage. Canada also has an higher income tax for lower income brackets. So me working as a mech in Australia, someone likely make 30k more as a base level mechanic and have more usable income than a mech in any province in Canada making 19$ an hour as a starting role.
Food was the same price as Canada in Victoria at least, not sure about elsewhere and again, rent or house pricing in Victoria was at least 10-20% less than western Canada.
I also don't want to bash this subject, but can agree with this being an Australian that did a few years living in Vancouver working as a mech. Starting wage was a lot lower then any starting wage at a shop here in Melbourne, rent was more expensive and everything else in between. Hats off to anyone doing it in Canada, the riding is sure the best in the world in the sea to sky, no doubt about that, but life in generally hard to afford working in the bike industry there.
There ya' have it. This is corporate speak for "we fired Mike". I can only assume they read this forum and saw the scathing replies to the Marucci deal.
