The underlying problem is this interference and over regulation in what sold be a free market. The lender should decide and not the government. Let people fail who night off more than they can chew. Same goes for businesses and other individuals. Then we might see a real correction based on real circumstances and the market will regulate itself. Government interference in all things is the root cause and of course the uneducated, unsuspecting and government trusting voting public.

The rates are still cheap - you talk about the pandemic nobody saw it coming - this is untrue many people saw it coming - inflation down? Go to the supermarket and fill your trolley and then answer if inflation is down - the problem we have is socialism just look at Victoria- their debt will affect all Australians- the other problem is we have dopes that believe we should get to net zero - Australians electricity should virtually be free given the resources we have but we have politicians who have sold us out - but people are still asleep.

Cost of living pressures more I think, health expenses/trades & services, groceries, costs of food & labour etc. But I think a big concern is lower Australian earnings or GDP, with big drop off in revenue from coal, iron ore, other metals and mining & primary production also. Big spikes in particularly these export markets past few years, brought in enormous royalties and positive balance of trade for us. Labour shortages ++ governments significant spending on buildings also, lucrative government building contracts meant less building and labour availability and much higher costs for the private sector, escalating prices home building costs or not be profitable for builders to take on contracts with labour and input costs higher, increased government public service jobs too, high sustained immigration levels too - wages have gone up, inflation, interest rates were risen quickly and now been sustained higher into 2025. This should all start to ease. Take pressure off mortgage holders But if gross income for Australia falls. Mine closures. Already projects and additional development being paused, a lot of redundancies esp in WA mining & also associated processing hubs. If we see more of this + AI touted to decrease workforce (automated machinery, vehicles even, admin systems, less workers due to costs and liabilities) - this be more of a worry if people can’t pay their mortgages with lost jobs and income. In a lucky country it is unbelievable that we don’t have more & cheaper abundant energy for instance, would stimulate and support entire country and economy. Government can’t subsidise forever.

Stupid stuff going on! Point 1) if the rba didn’t raise rates inflation would not have gone up as high as it did (hence half of it was of their own making). Point 2) this obsession with unemployment rate is pathetic & useless (jobs market has been changing radically ie uber, fivver, airtasker, contracting & number of Abn’s) Point 3) how many drew down their super or pulled from long term savings which will impact long term structural finances RBA has lost the plot & looks to be just shifting excess wealth from individuals to corporations & banks. If the RBA did nothing during the pandemic we would all be much better off…. Apart from banks & large corporate profits. What a shocker!! 😮

The blame on interest rates is miss guided. Many took up unrealistic and obscenely low interest rates which were never going to be sustainable at 0.1%. The rates now are about normal and reflect the fact that those who had taken out mortgages when the rates were at around they are now are not going through mortgage stress. Only those that took large loans bases on 2-3% are in stress now……the inflation rate resulting in high cost of living is the pain point. Expecting rates to come down to offset high inflation is not realistic. The government is the cause and making of the current situation and high inflation. Stupidly high house prices driven by supply and demand from unrealistic immigration is the one of the main problem right there. 550,000 immigration and irresponsible government spending, 7 quarters of negative growth putting us in a technical recession…..game over.

Stocks and housing are insanely overvalued by historical metrics, and yet he puts it in the "neither tight nor loose" category. I think kouk would be worried about raising rates even if houses were doubling each week because the "pace of increases" slowed from triple each week.

I remember listening to Stephen at the Gold Coast Mayor's breakfast last year talk about how SME's are the key to coming out of these tough financial times yet government spending has jumped from a pre-pandemic decade averages of about 22.5 per cent of GDP to a record high of 27.3 per cent in the June quarter this year. Why do the middle class continue to get squeezed for the benefit of the few in Australia ?

If unemployment is skewed so much in the current age (particularly when unemployment payments aren't enough to even pay rent let alone eat right now) should it REALLY weigh so heavily in the economy now? In the same way cigarettes are no longer considered in your basket of groceries, and phone are an essential item now? Who decides what weighs what??
