#BREAKING: Royal Easter Show announces new ‘Cost of Living Crisis’ show bag

VALUE PACK: The Royal Easter Show has today unveiled a new ‘Cost of Living Crisis’ show bag, giving families the chance to take home a range of modern essentials for just $165, payable in four interest-free Afterpay instalments.

“We wanted to create something fun for the whole family, while also preparing young Australians for the grim economic reality that awaits them,” said show organisers.

Presented in a reusable Aldi tote, the show bag contains what organisers are calling “a curated snapshot of modern Australian life.”

There’s a $20 petrol voucher, enough for around 10km of car travel, three tiny Easter eggs and an Ozempic pen, which is being billed as an ‘alternative to groceries.’

The bag’s hero item, however, is a full beach cabana, which organisers say “comfortably sleeps four and is zoned residential pending council approval.”

And for families still doing it tough, there’s a QR code linking to the Centrelink website.

The show runs for 11 days, starting April 2.
