Why Australians in remote areas are paying 90 percent more for food

People living in some of Australia's remotest communities have been sharing photos revealing the staggering prices they are being forced to pay for basic groceries. The photos, submitted to a parliamentary inquiry into food security and prices in Indigenous communities, include a $16 pack of sausages, a 3-litre container of milk for $7.30, a tin of Spam for $7.70 and apples for $8.30 a kilo. The issue of price hikes in remote communities made national headlines in March, when a fed-up woman from Palm Island voiced her disgust at an $82 packet of lamb chops.
