Some 3.7 million Australian households are going hungry or on the edge of falling into hunger according to a shocking new report from one of the country’s leading social charities.
Foodbank Australia’s 2023 Hunger Report says more than a third of all households suffered from food insecurity in the past 12 months and 48 per cent of the public now struggles to consistently access adequate food.
Foodbank Australia chief executive Brianna Casey speaks with former federal Labor leader Bill Shorten in 2018. Ms Casey has warned that more Australians are falling into food insecurity.
