What's really driving inflation?

from Follow The Money Hosted by The Australia Institute

Why is everything so expensive? And will a wage increase just make it worse? New research shows that only a trivial portion of Australia’s inflation has come from wages this year, while rising prices continue to drive not just inflation, but profits to record highs.
