A new report suggests Australia is in the grip of a so-called "baby recession", which some attribute to rising cost-of-living pressures and economic uncertainty. A report from K-P-M-G shows the number of births across the country last year dropped to just over 289,000 - the lowest recorded since 2006. Source: Getty / Getty Images
