And it is true that inflation is a global phenomenon that has arisen because of because of supply chain issues that occurred during the global pandemic. It highlighted for me the glory and sanctity of marriage in Australia. The Speaker of the house, Milton Dick, introduced Ley “with some nervousness” as she came to the dispatch box in a frizzy-haired wig and a black dress, just before question time today.
