The Hoot: Can a pea-and-thimble trick really slay the inflation dragon?

  • Summary

  • How about that Budget?! Thrilling, eh!

    Yep, we're in the 'meh' boat, too. Talk about a nothing burger.

    There's not much to get excited about - until you start looking under the bonnet at the tricks. Like, if inflation is too much money and not enough stuff, how can throwing $300 at households by 'lowering' bills be anti-inflationary when it's really putting more money into people's pockets? Surely Murtagh isn't the only one who smells a rat? Is the ABS really going to fall for this carnival trick? And the RBA?

    That and more in this week's Hoot, with David Murtagh and Claire Fenwicke.
