A friendly reminder of the data on annual inflation.
On #insiders it was suggested inflation was troubling and accelerating:
Dec 2022 7.8%
Mar 2023 7.0%
Jun 2023 6.0%
Sep 2023 5.4%
Dec 2023 4.1%
Mar 2024 3.6%

Lazy journalism or mischievous in the extreme

Jeez all this criticism of Future Made in Australia policy. Give it a go people. The idea is great. Much better than the #LNP ’s policy of giving everything away to their mates. #Insiders

The higher ed funding model is a bust.

Anthony Albanese should stop tinkering & redraw the model.

Invest in students & get payback through the tax system, not HECS.

Fund research properly, directly.

Stop making unis hostage to international student fee income.

Can be done. #auspol

Can't wait for Dutton, Ley, Hume or some other coalition idiot to announce they will roll-back today's HECS fee announcement if they win the next election. #auspol

The war didn’t end until the Soviets were out of Afghanistan

The war didn’t end until the US was out of Vietnam

The war didn’t end Until the Germans were out of France, Poland, etc.

The war won’t end until Russia is out of Ukraine.

Not good enough. Still gutless. Stefanovic should apologise on air.

Cancer incidence per 100,000 people per year:

Mr Denmore The ‘mission’ is to keep their audience in a perpetual froth of fear, suspicion, envy, and loathing. They have it down to a fine art.

Why is it that whenever Peter Stefanovic interviews Pauline Hanson for her views on something he never mentions 'so remember that time you went to jail as a convicted criminal...?'

I guess his opprobrium is only reserved for non-whites. #auspol

Yes indeed...
... and the RBA is set to further hike interest rates in reaction to this? Come off it!

#Auspol2024 #ausbiz #ausecon

This by Stephen Koukoulas makes sense to me. Using tight monetary policy to bring down the global oil price, insurance premiums after floods, housing rents and private school fees is futile.

The RBA needs to trash its 'trimmed mean' inflation estimate & move to an ‘interest rate driven inflation rate’ target?
Interest rates have next to zero impact on the price of lamb, petrol, tobacco, insurance; but these can impact trimmed mean inflation.
