Why petrol is so expensive - a podcast by triple j

At the beginning of the pandemic, fuel was the cheapest it’s been in 20 years. Now it’s close to $2 a litre.

And it's got to do with the world coming out of lockdown.

A new report has found Australia’s rising value of inheritances and gifts is reinforcing the wealth gap.

Plus, the National Disability Insurance Scheme is meant to give Australians living with disability money, care and support, but there's been a 20 per cent increase in people making complaints because their individual funding plans have been cut back.

Live guests:
David Byrne, associate professor of economics at The University of Melbourne
Lisa Gropp, Productivity Commissioner
Julie Charlton, Children and Young People with Disability Australia Youth Council
