00:00So the inflation numbers have just been released for February from the ABS.
00:04If we look at the annual figures comparing last year to this year,
00:08some of the higher movements have been beef, up nearly 8% since last year.
00:13The other one's been lamb and goat, up nearly 7% since last year,
00:17and coffee and tea, up about 5%.
00:19On the more deflationary sides, our eggs are a bit cheaper,
00:23down about 1.6% since last year,
00:25vegetables down 1.1%, and fruit down 0.7%.
00:29So your fruit and veggies and eggs are the more value buyers at the moment.
00:33When we look across to the monthly,
00:35so looking at January's movement compared to February's movement,
00:39we've seen fruits up 1.9% in February period,
00:43and lamb is up about 3.3%.
00:46So out of the meat categories,
00:47lamb's been the highest mover just in the last months.
00:50Beef's only gone up 1%, and poultry up 0.2%,
00:53so not very high.
00:54Pork's been pretty stable.
00:56Just over the February period,
00:58cheese and milks and dairy categories down between 0.5% to 1% reductions,
01:03and the prices of fish on average are down about 0.5% or thereabouts.
01:08That's a bit of an update on inflationary pressures on food.
01:12Let's see how the fuel and furt crisis develops as we head through further into 2026.
01:18I'll see when you've got nothing on.
01:23I'll see when you've got nothing on.
