BS. 4.35% is not an abnormal interest rate. It’s about average. 0.1% is an abnormal rate and is one of the main reasons housing became so unaffordable.
Any interest rate that is less then the inflation rate is abnormal and bad for the economy long term. It means you lose money buying government bonds to inflation.
Indeed. 4.35% is not an abnormal interest rate. It’s about average. 0.1% is an abnormal rate and is one of the main reasons housing became so unaffordable.
RBA only has one tool - higher or lower interest rates with no variation of control. The Federal Government has all of the other tools to control and vary weather the RBA goes up or down. Lower federal taxes on fuel. Cheaper energy costs. Cheaper health costs. Free eduction for 3 to 13 year olds including lunch and refreshments. Up to 50 % Tax deductions for owner occupied interest for homes like units and apartments below the cost of $650K. 1, 2 or 3 bedroom high density housing or rural housing with work from home Federal Government job at 25 hours per week.
Along, with the ALPs inflationary policies the RBA failed to act expeditiously. The consequences is built in inflation gets baked in and then compounded. The RBA are politically motivated donkeys.
Wow! What a wonderful scientific discovery. As if nobody knows that RBA was holding the interest rates too low for too long just to start increasing them like mad.😊

@@bretloyd8097 Typical die hard Laborite lie Australia's debt grew more slowly over the term of Coaltion's reign compared to the simple dollar amount.

Labors Labor's final budget year (2013-14), and its mid-year budget update locked in spending and revenue policy decisions worth several billions of dollars. $5 billion in savings that were initiated by Labor in Government - Labor took to opposing them under the Coaltion
It doesn’t matter how many people are working if the wages aren’t keeping up with the cost of living, this awful government has to go and that includes all labor state governments as well .
Conroy fails to mention that the current RBA and its structure was chosen and setup by Jimmy Chalmers, so if it’s the RBA’s fault that we are in a per Vapor recession then blame Jimmy Chalmers for selecting the current RBA.
The economy is tanking because the government closed it down for two years. The Libs did that but Labor probably would've done the same. In other words, one party wrecked the economy and the other has to deal with the fallout and it makes no difference which is which.
Just because you can make the repayment doesn’t me you can afford it ! Australians stop externalising blame on every situation and take personal responsibility for the decisions YOU as an individual made .
The only thing we don't get taxed on is air. Do you live in Australia. Australian government gives itself payrises, we the citizens didn't vote for that, they have clue no how bad it is for families struggling to make the repayments on homes, immigration of a 1,000,000 people per year which RAISES inflation, we don't have enough houses for Australian citizens and the immigrant also wants a house which raises house price's which raises inflation.
@@CollinBlack-j1y yes that’s all true but housing price speculation happened well before then and people ruched in and overpay for property back in 2019,2020,2021 at 2% mortgage now crying we can’t afford it .

No one out a gun to their head to pay for over priced housing at low rates knowing it would go up one day .
No its Corporations fault for killing the economy. Corporations posted record profits off the back of high inflation since the pandemic began which has outpaced wages growth has caused interest rates to rise as this is the preferred method to tackle inflation by punishing the consumer and not the business entity that actually raised the prices. Once interest rates were raised people had less disposable income combined with the ever I creasing cost of mortgages and every day Essentials people have no money left to spend but it's consumers fault for getting haircut that gets blamed for inflation not the Corporation that posted record profits from massive price increases. Good job economists. Idiots.
The problem is that people got fomo and paid 900k for a property that was worth 550k. I’m sorry, but truck drivers shouldn’t own million dollar properties. Everything is out of whack
Well done Conroy, Chalmers has done something Liberal didn’t do, make the cost of living crisis much much worse and make it extremely hard for Australians to pay their bills, glad you’re so smug about it Conroy!
BS, both sides of government are to blame for allowing debt levels to get so high. Interest rates are not high by any stretch of the imagination, debt levels are the gorilla in the room.
Government spending needs to be cut. Australia needs tax reform. Government regulations need to be reviewed. Personal tax is to high for all in Australia. Stop looking at what is going on in Europe, Europe is not Australia. It Europe but their head in a fire would we follow. Australia is a democratic nation how about finding our own solutions and new ways to run the Australian economy. Fair go for all not just elites and big bussiness. Open debates without predetermined out comes.
The issue in Australia is NOT interest rates. The issue in Australia is the insane amount that Australians pay for housing. If house prices halved future Australians would be far better off. GM
Property prices are a result of demand, during the pandemic units in eastlakes were renting for 400 a week down from 550. Now its 700 a week due to immigration. There are alot of high income people who are making alot of money ie tradies, and people in corporate who can afford 1,500,000 homes easily.
Why do you think the house prices are so high... its because the rates have been too low for far too long even today they are too low. Without the low rates almost no one could afford to have absurd mortgages in the first place. It has raised the ceiling on what is paid for houses.
RBA is trying to moderate the inflation surge. RBA is non political. You must have faith in the Australian institutions. When you pumped too much stimulus into the economy in 2020 to combat the slowdown caused by the Covid , you have to combat the inflation and the runaway property prices and rental. If not, you will end up like Argentina. The economy is a delicate thingee.
Sorry but I’m a bit over the national “poor me story”’for people who won’t take responsibility for taking a mortgage with no plan should interest rates rise ( back to normal ) from the 2% rate they were purchase at and now cry me a river .
RBA is just a scapegoat, they’re doing their best. The real cause is the inept government, they don’t understand economics nor the principles of good governance. Time for them to go! 🎉
Labor have a long established history of attempting to interfere with the RBA and fiscal outcomes. It's only since the arrival of Albanese & Co. that they have succeeded....
No. The previous government must take responsibility. They (simplistically) thought that the Aussie romance with housing would go on forever. Wrong. They lost. When you are getting deemed more by Centrelink, than you are receiving in Bank interest, something is wrong!
I suggest any average Aussie contact their bank and ask them if they can get a better rate. It don't hurt to ask. I contacted my bank and I got a better rate. Down from 8% to 6.07%
With the government's record tax take from bracket creep, fuel excise inflation, stamp duty inflation, GST inflation, Charmless can afford to have no real empathy.....

RBA can not achieve its easier than other comparable countries target of 3%. Bunch of duds. RBA board is government appointment and Secretary of the Treasury is on the board. It's ALP failure again....🦘🇦🇺
Interest rates are actually right were they should be, if anything they should be slightly higher. The problem is out of control immigration squeezing supply and artificially driving house prices and rental higher.
There are a couple of very strong levers & directives that can be implemented/mandated. One is abolishing 'indexation', make it illegal to systematically erode Our Nation's Currency's buying power, in support of "workers" Nationally, and boosting the prospects of the ASX, and Our Currencies standing Internationally and in pursuit of attracting foreign investment with the expressed aim of bringing close to zero Govt sponsored subsidies! (Have been used to offset effects of indexation)!
what we are experiencing in the economy now, is a direct result of the monetary policy decisions throughout the plandemic. M1 M2 money supply soared during the plandemic, meaning the government via the RBA borrowed into existence billion upon billions of dollars, all of which had to find a home in a decreasing pool of goods and services, more money ( currency) chasing fewer goods = each currency unit ( every dollar ) becomes worth - less. taking more and more currency units ( dollars ) to buy the same amount of goods and services as before = inflation ( inflate the money supply) it is the illusion of prices going up, when infact it is the purchasing power ( value ) of the money ( currency) going down. Gold is real money, currency is nothing more than a derivative of real money. as currency looses purchasing power, golds purchasing power increases. hence why today gold is at an all time high.

The October 2022-23 Federal Budget forecasts further increases in gross debt to $1.159 trillion (43.1% of GDP) by the end of the 2025-26. To find out how many years it would take to repay a debt of $1.159 trillion at the rate of $1 per second without any further debt, we can follow these steps: 1. Convert $1.159 trillion to dollars: \( 1.159 \times 10^{12} \). 2. Calculate the number of seconds in a year: \( 60 \times 60 \times 24 \times 365 \). Then, divide the total debt by the number of seconds in a year to get the number of years required. Let's do the calculations: 1. \( 1.159 \times 10^{12} \) dollars. 2. Number of seconds in a year: \( 60 \times 60 \times 24 \times 365 = 31,536,000 \) seconds. Finally, divide the total debt by the number of seconds in a year: So, it would take approximately 36,759 years to repay the debt. Mathematically impossible...
