Expenditure on electricity and water per month in 1991 was at 75 Australian dollars, while this figure rose to $120 in 2001. The expenditure on clothing decreased to $20 in 2001 from $30 in 1991.
Also, in 1991 a family paid $95 on housing, however, this increased to $100 after a decade. Interestingly, transport costs decrease from $70 to $45 in 2001. The spending on other goods and services were the highest in both years, $250 (in 1991) and $270 (in 2001).
