Energy bill pressures forcing Aussie households to go cold this winter
Millions of Australian households are being forced to choose between heating their homes or putting food on the table, a new survey has suggested. With the cost of living crisis continuing to squeeze household budgets and the average quarterly energy bill jumping 13 per cent in just three years, comparison website Finder estimates 8.8 million Aussies are struggling to afford heating for their home. The survey of more than 1000 people found 13 per cent are being forced to go cold 'all the time' due to pressures from high winter energy bills, while another 28 per cent avoid using the heater as often as possible. The survey also ranked electricity among Australian households' most stressful expenses with more than one in five people putting energy in their top 3 most stressful bills, sitting only behind groceries and rent or mortgage costs. Finder energy expert Mariam Gabaji said it was 'heartbreaking' that Aussie families were sacrificing comfort and health to avoid a crushing power bill. 'We've seen polar blasts already this winter with certain regions experiencing subzero temperatures,' she said. 'Going cold all winter isn't just uncomfortable, it can be dangerous, especially for the elderly and young children.' With both electricity and gas prices comfortably outstripping inflation since 2000, the survey also revealed Aussies were most likely to blame 'the cost of living' generally for their surging bills. Less than one in five people labelled energy providers as the main culprit for energy bill shock, while 18 per cent of respondents blamed themselves citing long showers or leaving lights on around the house. Despite just 54 per cent of electricity customers believing their plans were 'good value for money', only 16 per cent of Aussies had switched their energy plans in the first six months of 2024. 'Energy retailers are banking on people staying loyal or feeling overwhelmed. A quick comparison could mean the difference between shivering and saving this winter,' Ms Gabaji said. 'The price difference between the cheapest and most expensive electricity plans in our database is as much as $500 to $700 a year.'

'This is beyond belief': Tobacconist slammed for sign marketed to kids
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. A tobacconist in Sydney's inner west has come under fire after displaying the popular children's toy, Labubu, on its signage. Local councillors quickly worked to amend the matter, but people still aren't satisfied, asking for a more permanent solution. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. Image: Instagram / @darcy_byrne. RELATED: Aussies fuming over card surcharge at cashless car park 'This is beyond belief' Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne took to social media late last week to share a photo of a new tobacconist in Marrickville. If the store's contents wasn't bad enough, the store was also called 'Labubu Stop & Shop', complete with imagery of Labubus appearing to be using vapes on its signage. 'This is beyond belief,' he said in his post. 'The latest tobacco & vape shop in Marrickville 'Labubu Stop & Shop'. A picture of the popular children's toy smoking is on the signage.' Byrne asserted that Council would be sending its compliance staff down to act on the issue, affirming that they were also working to crack down on where tobacconists can open. 'This is exactly why we are fighting to have the Government introduce a requirement for development [applications] to be submitted and approved before these shops can open,' he said. 'At the moment all they have to submit is a change of use application (a basic form). 'We welcome the legislation the Minns Government has tabled to crack down on illegal sales of black market vapes and tobacco. But we also want new DA powers to stop the spread of these shops throughout our suburbs.' RELATED: Aussies call out 'predatory' cafe trend costing you money 'My ten year old always wants to go in' The image quickly spread across social media, with parents in particular concerned that the shop was trying to market specifically to children - not just through this sign, but in its alleged contents more generally. 'Behind the counter - vapes, smokes, smoking equipment. Under the counter - dodgy vapes, Chinese smokes. All bright coloured and attractive. Front of the shop? Piles of candy and glitzy American junk food. My ten year old always wants to go in,' one Reddit user shared. 'The TAB isn't allowed to have a front section aimed at bringing in children. Misty's 504 massage can't sell lollipops as well as happy endings. Why tf is a cancer shop allowed to market to my kids?' 'Do you know what the worst thing is? My kid walked past and called it 'the lolly shop',' said a commenter on Instagram. From July 1 2024 - primarily due to its negative impacts on young people - the selling of vapes became illegal across the country, unless done so in a pharmacy. The advertising of vaping goods is also banned, unless expressly permitted by the Therapeutic Goods (Vaping Goods – Advertising) Authorisation 2024. According to the TGA, unlawful dealings with vaping goods - including importation, manufacture, advertising, supply, or commercial possession - carry heavy penalties, including up to seven years in jail, and fines of up to $2.31 million for an individual or $23.10 million for a corporation, per contravention. 'Removing that sign is a token gesture' Thankfully, Inner West Council was quick to update locals, saying that the store's signage - along with similar signage on a tobacconist down the street depicting Mario and Luigi - had been removed. 'Labubye, Marrickville! This sign is gone for good,' they shared in a post to Facebook. But, people aren't quite convinced it was enough, with the increase of tobacconists like this one becoming an epidemic in the area. 'You could stop letting them in, there are at least 5 in Leichardt,' said one commenter on the post. 'Compliance activity should focus on what they are selling too. Under the counter cigarettes and vapes laced with whatever chemicals. Removing that sign is a token gesture. Keep the pressure on,' another asserted.
