    Could we not at least make various unchanging standards?

    Like, housing & food inflation index?

    Is that not vague and unchanging enough?

    I know sourcing the data isn’t a walk in the park, but I know for a fact Victoria collects information on the first one pretty accurately.

    I think we should have a “base needs” basket, because that’s never going to change. People need to eat, people need to sleep.

    Thanks for indulging me in my vague, unlearned on the topic, questioning!
