Rising price of food

Garth from Hillcrest

This is not a local matter but I have to have a rant.
I am flabbergasted that some person presented on the news tonight stating that the high international prices for dairy was " good for the economy" even if we (consumers) are at a point when we can't afford to buy these foods which are produced here. I have not bought steak for some months now as it is ridiculously expensive. Butter is off the menu. Who in the economy is it good for?

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
