The Wedding Tax

from The Swanston Explainer Hosted by The Swanston Explainer

Amid a cost-of-living crisis, young Aussie couples are feeling the pressure-especially when it comes to planning a wedding. With the average cost hitting $41,400 in 2024 and the dreaded “wedding tax” inflating prices, many are forced to rethink how (and if) they’ll tie the knot. In this episode, we unpack the financial strain, explore why you’re told not to mention it’s a wedding, and ask: Is love really worth the price tag? Host: Charlie Kondos Reporting: Lucy Donnelly Producer: Aisha Ambesi Series Producer: Louis Harrison Executive Producer: Kate Arnott
