tough times. not

The RBA raised interest rates by a quarter of a percent. The ABC was desperate to turn this into a hard luck story.

how have you cut back? they asked. oh, we decided to cancel our daughter's karate lessons.
oh, how terrible. but not as terrible as the next interview...

has it affected you?
oh yes, we are paying off the house that we bought when we moved to Perth. and we had to raise the rent that we charge for the house that we own in Melbourne. and on the house that we own in Sydney.
oh... and have you cut back on any of your expenses?
pause for thought
...ummm.... no.

Life is tough. for a reporter under orders to present hard luck stories.
