- Making it up as they go along.
- Re last night's speech by Philip Lowe in which he warned that rates could go much higher. Don't forget he also told us for 12 months that rates would stay where they are for 3 years, so best not to pay much attention to what he says.

- Missing from the yelling about 6.1% is the fact that inflation is declining. Prices rose 2.1% in the March quarter, 1.8% in June. Probably less in September. Annual rates simply affected by the base effect. Inflation has peaked.
