Why would the RBA leave interest rates on hold if there's a case to cut?
By David Taylor
With little risk of inflation spiking higher, the RBA could comfortably move to cut interest rates on Tuesday. But it's highly unlikely to do so, and it's worth exploring why.

The #WealthGap isn’t just growing - it’s exploding. Wages stagnate while profits soar.
A few billionaires control more wealth than all the other people combined - and with that, billionaires control politics and who is in government!
#UBI doesn’t “punish success” - it ensures #everyone has a chance to succeed. Because no one should have to beg for basic survival in the richest era in history.
Andrew Clennell (#SkyNews) & Ashley Raper (#TenNews) push the 'hasty generalisation' logical fallacy about #CostOfLiving.
Intent:
- Clennell: Everyone is worse off.
- Raper: Most are worse off.
Albo hits them for six.
The media's decided that the 2025 election is the #CostOfLiving election.
Why? So they can tie Labor to a negative narrative.
Phil Coorey ignores COL & leads off with the other LNP scare, that Labor & the Greens will form minority govt.

Decades ago one wage could meet the "cost to thrive" for a family.
As #greed increased and wealth consolidated at the top people just wanted to meet the #CostOfLiving now they can't even achieve that and are failing to meet the most basic cost to survival.
Either govts redistribute wealth via the tax system and investment or the system is going to collapse. It was doomed to fail to begin with, now it's on it's last legs.
It's not a "wealthy nation" if 1% possess or control 99% of the wealth.
