In this episode, we take a hard look at the latest move by the Reserve Bank of Australia and unpack why raising rates may be a blunt, outdated response to a complex economic problem. With the cash rate climbing to 4.10% under Governor Michele Bullock, we examine who actually bears the cost\u2014and why mortgage holders continue to carry the heaviest load. Drawing on economic data and policy insights, we explore the real drivers of inflation in Australia, from energy prices and housing supply to government spending decisions led by Jim Chalmers and Anthony Albanese. This is a critical, no-nonsense analysis of why monetary policy alone cannot solve structurally driven inflation. If you want a clearer, more strategic understanding of the Australian economy\u2014and what needs to change\u2014this episode is essential listening.
