Rising cost of living dragging Canberrans below poverty line in what many call Australia's most affluent city
According to the ACT Council of Social Service's latest report, nearly one in 10 Canberrans are living below the poverty line, challenging the perception of a "well-off" and "rich" national capital.
Caroline, who moved back to Canberra last year to be closer to her daughter, is one example.
Since moving to the ACT, Caroline has struggled to find a job and to consistently have a roof over her head.
She has since found emergency accommodation, but before that she was forced to live in her car for months.
