The annual Foodbank Hunger Report has revealed one in three Australian households went hungry over the past year,
2
most of those experiencing food insecurity for the first time.
3
Foodbank Australia CEO Carly Tink joins me now to discuss all of this.
4
Your figures, Carly, are grim.
5
3 .5 million Australian households experiencing food insecurity.
6
Let's start by defining what exactly food insecurity means.
7
Yeah, Chris, it is really grim, actually.
8
To qualify as being food insecure under our survey you actually have to change the way
9
that you interact with food
10
so to be really clear
11
this is not just worrying about whether you're going to be able to bring food into your house or budgeting
12
which i would dare say most australians are doing
13
this quite literally is families who are no longer able to afford to bring fresh food
14
or vegetable into their home or high quality protein
15
or in worst case scenario who are actually skipping meals
16
or going whole days without eating i've got to say
17
when i woke up this morning and read these stats I was sceptical.
18
I looked at the data, 6 ,000 people surveyed.
19
It's pretty comprehensive.
20
Can you describe to us, you know, what does it actually look like?
21
Cutting back on meals, on portion sizes, food quality?
22
What actually happens?
23
Yeah, you know, I think over a long time here in Australia,
24
we've expected to see some level of food insecurity amongst the most vulnerable in Australia.
25
And by that, I mean,
26
families that are earning the lowest wages or households where there may be somebody with an illness or a disability living there.
27
And for those families, for a long time, they have had a number of coping strategies,
28
whether it's to skip meals or to change the food that they're bringing in.
29
But the thing that really concerned us about this year's report is that food insecurity is becoming more mainstream.
30
And, you know, what we actually found was
31
that nearly one in two households with children reported that they'd experienced some level of food insecurity in the last 12 months.
32
And that does look like parents feeding their children, telling the children that they'll eat later, but then actually never eating
33
or it actually looks like whole days where somebody will not eat so that other people in the home can be fed.
34
So you've identified one demographic there.
35
Who else has been hit by this?
36
It's usually renters, particularly the young and the elderly as well.
37
Where are you finding the crisis hitting artists?
38
Yeah, well, last year we really observed it in single -parent families where we found
39
that seven out of ten were experiencing it
40
and we also found it in households with somebody with an illness or a disability and those numbers haven't moved.
41
So that's incredibly concerning.
42
This year what we found is it is families with children.
43
Fascinatingly, the largest age cohort that's impacted is actually 18 to 35 -year -olds,
44
with the majority of people in that age group having experienced food insecurity at some point in the last 12 months.
45
So these are kids that have finished school, that have finished TAFE, have finished their degrees, and they're just finding that no matter what they do,
46
to ensure they're covering rent,
47
their utilities, their transport, they're having to compromise on the food that they're eating and that has long -term implications for health,
48
for productivity, for social participation.
49
They're sobering figures and ones we hope will make a difference down the line.
50
Thank you so much for joining us this morning, Kylie Teng.
51
Thanks Chris.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
