If politicians can dictate to the RBA idiots like Morrison would have dropped the rate just to win an election and what do you think the chances of the new government raising them?
It would be a disaster and we would be running at Argentinian levels of inflation very quickly
Is the RBA perfect with 20/20 foresite? No
Is it better than having politicians running the levers to suit their short term agendas? Fuck yes
This is Pauline Hanson levels of stupidity from the Greens. I had hoped they would be much better than this.

Politicians apparently can, like there are supposedly legal powers to do so which is what this is about.
However they don’t. Although Keating came close to doing it once.

That’s right I think, which goes to show the Greens want to do something that even Paul Keating baulked at. A very bad precedent to start.
