150,000 words, zero guarantees: Bullock’s high-stakes interest rate revolution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Across 22 press conferences and 150,000 words, Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock has headed a revolution in how interest rates are set in this nation. The person who is most central to Australians’ day-to-day economic fortunes stood up on February 6, 2024, to face her first press outing in charge of the central bank. Since then, she has answered almost 600 questions while speaking directly to millions of borrowers, investors, business operators and people with savings. At that press conferen

You have reached your maximum number of saved items. Remove items from your saved list to add more. It should not come as a surprise to know that I – a self-described budget nerd – maintain a spreadsheet of the nation’s treasurers. Ranking them by length of service, the sheet traverses the 40 men to have held the post, from Gough Whitlam (just 14 days) all the way up to Peter Costello (11 years, 267 days).

What six failed predictions taught Australia about its future (opens the original)

Costello’s idea was t

Read excerpt
Australia’s population growth has slowed to its lowest non-pandemic rate in 15 years with net overseas migration dropping below 300,000 for the first time since the Albanese government came to power. But the new figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show the government still faces a battle to reach its own budget forecasts amid accusations from the Coalition that the country is on an immigration “highway to hell”. The bureau reported that through the March quarter of this year, the po
Chalmers wipes more than $500b off nation’s debt – in four decades’ time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hundreds of billions of debt that would weigh on future taxpayers is likely to be avoided, a long-term forecast on the state of the federal budget will reveal, even as the government faces growing spending pressures and a blowout in the nation’s interest bill. The seventh release of the intergenerational report, to be released by Treasurer Jim Chalmers on Monday, will show gross government debt far lower than expected and deep spending cuts in this year’s budget improving the budget bottom line
