“You obviously get a little bit of strain, when [I’m asked] ‘What time are you coming home?’ You do lose that little bit of freedom – I’ve got to let them know to leave bolt off the door if I’m out. But I’ve got it really good – I know people go to uni to get away from home.” “I now work for a big public company, so there’s more stability – but the pandemic affected my social life, and still does really.” he says. “It’s kind of like everyone’s lost touch with each other, especially my friends in my age group. I don’t see as many people as I used to, and not as often – maybe once or twice a month. I had quite a big friendship group before the pandemic. I’m stuck at home a lot of time as well and it’s even harder now with the cost of living.

Budget had both ‘good news and bad news’ for AustraliansLast night's budget had both 'good news and bad news' for Australians as they struggle with the rising cost of living and rampant inflation, says Sky News host Amanda Stoker. “The good news is that, on the back of a strong recovery from the COVID period and a strong resources sector, the budget is for now in surplus,' Ms Stoker said. “The bad news is that it’s a fragile surplus. By that I mean it isn't a surplus that is the product of taking tough decisions to reform the causes of budget blowout.
