And petrol and rental prices are putting financial pressure on Australians.<\/span><br \/><strong>Senator Gerard Rennick\u2019s use of Facebook to push unverified stories about vaccine side-effects is potentially dangerous<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2021\/nov\/24\/liberal-mp-gerard-rennicks-facebook-reposts-on-covid-vaccines-could-be-dangerous-health-expert-says\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">a top health expert has warned<\/a>, as fresh doubt is cast on the legitimacy of a story he helped promote. Rennick conceded to Guardian Australia that he does not verify the accuracy of the dozens of third-party claims he has published about severe vaccine side-effects. Associate professor and head of the AusVaxSafety program, Nick Wood, said: \u201cThe fact that he has admitted he hasn\u2019t checked them and he\u2019s just posted them on, that\u2019s a problem. I think that is a danger because it feeds into: \u2018is there a cover-up here, we\u2019re not being told things\u2019. That can potentially impact public confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Financial pressures are increasing for low-income Australians who are priced out of the rental market and facing increasing petrol prices.<\/strong> The annual Rental Affordability Index (RAI) for 2021 shows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2021\/nov\/24\/rental-stress-on-the-rise-as-low-income-australians-priced-out-of-market\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">housing affordability is worse than pre-pandemic levels<\/a> in some areas, and Hobart is now the least affordable city for renters. As the gap between income and rent prices increases, so too is the price of petrol, which is emerging as a political touchstone again with the prospect of $2 a litre in major cities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2021\/nov\/24\/one-way-traffic-why-some-petrol-prices-are-on-the-road-to-2-a-litre\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Here\u2019s everything you need to know<\/a> about what\u2019s driving the price rise.<br \/><strong>Covid deaths in Europe are likely to exceed 2 million by March next year<\/strong>, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said, adding that the pandemic has become<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2021\/nov\/23\/covid-deaths-in-europe-to-top-2-million-by-march-says-who\" data-link-name=\"in body link\"> the number one cause of death<\/a> in the region.
