  1. #RichardDenniss from the #AustralianInstitute talks about the RBA and its role in our economy in plain language that everyone will understand. It cannot be said often enough that the RBA’s obsession with controling inflation is a two-edged sword which, if you listen to Denniss, hurts the most vulnerable in our society and about a third of Australians who rent (because landlords put up their rents when mortgage rates go up) and another third of Australians because their own morgage rates also go up. On top of that, fighting inflation also causes higher unemployment. Denniss does a good job explaining all of that here, have a listen:

    omny.fm/shows/whats-the-point-

    Another conversation could be had about whether the RBA should be independent of govt (Finance and Treasury) given that the govt is the only authority for issueing and removing currency.

  16. “14.30 AEST
    Of course the #RBA did… against the better judgement of economists who are not died-in-the-wool #NeoLiberals. This rise will do nothing to stop inflation due to Stupid #tRump and his mate #Netanyahu military fling. The underlying inflation does not warrant this (according to Greg Jerocho — one of the more sensible economist driven by facts rather than mad theories). Further more, the lasat #CashRate rise has yet to show its effect on the economic numbers FFS.

    “RBA raises interest rates for third time in 2026
    reported by Luca Ittimani

    The Reserve Bank has increased its official interest rate to 4.35%, as prices rise at their fastest pace since 2023.

    The RBA’s board today hiked rates for a third consecutive meeting in 2026 after increases in February and March. Rates are now back where they were at the start of 2025, with each of that year’s three rate cuts now unwound.

    Today’s hike was widely expected, picked by most economists surveyed by Bloomberg. But financial markets had not fully priced in an increase, with some thinking the RBA might wait and see what the federal government does with its budget next week.” (Source: The Guardian Live)

  17. 🪴 Everybody thinks so! My forecasting system, with nearly 200 predictive models, provides an 82 per cent chance of RAISE! 🚀 This probability is in line with those provided by Australian analytical departments and expresses the market expectations ✅ The most recent readings of inflation above the target likewise suggest the same. Therefore, despite the predictive interval including the current cash rate value, I say it’s a likely RAISE.

  20. Watching The Business on the ABC and…
    I have to ask a few questions:

    WIth so many neo-liberal economists taking up #Stagflation, #Inflation and #CashRate increases whether or not the war on #Iran comes to an end soon - are we looking at a self-fulfilling prophesy? Helped along by businesses raising prices ahead of the curve in a attempt to head off increasing #FossilFuel costs?

    No one is talking about how well or otherwise the Australian economy is poised to cushion the predicted global economic shocks (Ie. The penetration of Renewables, rail transport, EVs, HousePV/btty systems, ICE Gas conversions, Fuel stocks and supply lines in Asia, price controls, etc.). Maybe because that’s harder to do than hitting the panic button.

    Stock markets and shareholders ought not to be the be-all and end-all of economic life!

    There are no hard, written in stone, rules about how to run an economy but for neo-classical (read neoliberal) stranglehold on economic thinking and political will or the lack thereof.

    Yee gods help us all…

  21. Yes, Fuel prices at the pump have soared — partially due to greed — and this is precicely why the latest #RBA #CashRate rise was a complete ballsup and a failure to apply basic experiencial #economics (as opposed to debunked theoretical #neoliberal claptrap). Consumers will, as a result of fuel costs, spend less on non-essential goods and services, therefore the #inflation beast will retreat somewhat.

  24. [edited for typos]
    #GregJericho lays into the #RBA ‘s latest gaffe.

    [The RBA said] “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. As a result, the Board judged that there is a material risk that inflation will remain above target for longer than previously anticipated.” This is a total failure of basic economics, and suggestive of a panicked RBA board.

    The impact on oil prices is due to the attacks on Iran and the blockage of cargo through the Strait of Hormuz. Nothing the RBA does will affect that.”

    Read that again: “NOTHING the RBA does” will mitigate fuel cost increases due to the crisis in the MIddel East.

    It couldn’t be clearer. An Economics 101 student would not even need the clarification. What is the RBA doing FFS? It seems clueless at times.
