Just before the budget, I bought a packet of tea bags (brand name supplied), as I normally do, for 50 cents.

Just one week after the budget the same packet, from the same shop, now costs 55 cents.

Maybe the Prime Minister or Finance Minister would like to explain such a hefty increase.

Of course the price of tea bags was not included in the budget.

So why now and why by so much?

Prime Minister, what other price rises are waiting around the corner?
