We're $1 trillion in debt and Albo keeps wasting more money every day.

ScoMo wasted 100s of billions over covid and

Albo wasted 100s of billions more on who knows what ? - rubbish.

Our Govts are printing money and causing inflation.
They do it by creating Govt. bonds and the Reserve bank prints the money to buy them.

The Reserve bank should tell each Govt to go to hell -
we're NOT printing any more money.

Michele Bullock should apologise for printing $1 trillion and causing our inflation problem.

RBA lifts interest rates to highest level in 15 years

By business reporter Gareth Hutchens

The Reserve Bank has lifted interest rates to their highest level in 15 years.

It has increased rates by 0.25 percentage points, which lifts the cash rate target to 4.6 per cent, up from 4.35 per cent.

It will be a blow to home owners with large mortgages. It is also the highest cash rate millions of households have faced since taking on a mortgage after 2011.

But individuals who have high-interest savings accounts will see their savings accruing more interest after today's decision, if their bank applies higher rates to their accounts.

The decision to lift rates was unanimous, with all nine members of the board voting in favour.

Accruing more interest at an inflation rate of 3.5%.
More dollars, not so much more purchsing power.

ScoMo over reacted to Covid but that is only one part of the $1 trillion
that the Reserve bank printed.

Simplified version:

The Govt, issues Govt. Bonds and the Reserve bank prints money to pay for them.
They printed $1 trillion and blame everyone else for the inflation.

Albo running off to the Caribbean to Swan around in the tropics pushing his climate change lies.
What a kick in the guts to the average Aussie who's struggling with mortgage repayments and
the costs of living and struggling to feed their kids.
The coward is hiding today while the Reserve Bank looks to increase rates.
All these politicians and bureaucrats lecturing Australians on tightening their belts
while they themselves have their snouts in the trough.

If the Albo mob was serious, there would be a tax on the rich one percenters, and a slowdown on data centre builds.

Slowing down the economy, while leaving household budgets a little less stressed.

ALP's a pro filthy rich, not for the majority, party now.

p.s. climate collapse is real and risks societal collapse if not reversed quickly. ALP are climate deniers, that's why they are pro coal.
