  • RBA: Statement by the Monetary Policy Board: Monetary Policy Decision

    From rba.gov.au

    At its meeting today, the Board decided to increase the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 4.10 per cent. While inflation has fallen substantially since its peak in 2022, it picked up materially in the second half of 2025. Information since the February meeting suggests that some of the increase in inflation reflects greater capacity pressures. In addition, the conflict in the Middle East has resulted in sharply higher fuel prices, which, if sustained, will add to inflation. Short-term measures of inflation expectations have already risen.

i think it should have been left the way it was for another month to see how it would have played out this event was not created by us.
I understand what you’re saying. They are definitely right hard on the curve. I’m seeing it as the RBA signalling to the Fed gov’t and Chalmers to really hit a fiscally responsible tight budget in May.

{quote} Labour can only spend, they know nothing else
It’s a fallacy and biased argument that is just repeated…

Long term average Federal spending is Labor 24.5% vs Coalition 24% of GDP.

The Coalition has been responsible for substantial deficits in recent years partly due to maintaining structural deficits and not taxing appropriately in boom periods.
You can dig down deeper into the figures and you might be surprised, or you can keep spouting coalition slogans about being better managers of the Nation’s finances.

I personally don’t care much for either and don’t carry an allegiance like a football team.
