Labor government ‘not telling the truth’ over interest rate rise reasons

Sky News host Paul Murray says around 36 per cent of “Labor people” the government is withholding the truth over interest rate rises.
“Even in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the Brisbane Times, 52 per cent of people say interest rates are mainly about domestic factors in Australia,” Mr Murray said.
“Even 36 per cent of Labor people know government is not telling the truth about why interest rates are going up.”

Clueless Labor, every time the electorate gets bored and has an “It’s Time” moment we loose a decade to recover.

[@darylsimpsom9741]

they had a senate inquiry into coles & woolies they know both have been price gouging but nothing has changed how much did the inquiry cost just to tell us what we already know now they say that it's not illegal for them to do that maybe we should gouge some of our tax money for us

there is no way Labor ever tell people the truth, same with RBA. The RBA and the Labor are best mate anyway, so there is no way on earth they tell us the truth. They just find any excuse to raise the rate. Eeverytime they short of money for their own pleasure, they raise the rate

[@globaltreasures02100]

One of the biggest drivers of inflation is energy costs as it works its way through the supply chain. The other in many western counties in property costs, not only housing but commercial rents too. The Federal, state and local governments all profit from inflation, and they get to say its not their fault. Stamp duty on a 1 million dollar house is around $55,000, why. What is the purpose of a $55000 cost added to buy a house, this is money for nothing. Now you can see why the government does not want the housing ponzi scheme to stop. When all other large corporations around the world a cost cutting and shedding jobs, the government is expanding its workforce. Jim Charmers the snake charmer recently said, with a big smile on his face Australians will have to do more with less, we need to increase productivity. During the same speech he announced that each federal minister would get an extra staffer. I would say that Politicians are doing less with more now days, and what they are doing is not actually making the country a better place to live for all Australians.
