interst rises is no solution , page-15

GST is a tax on comsumption, that is consumers. Consumption is not the sum total of our economy.

Raising the GST would be broad based in terms of affecting consumers. The problem is, business would largely be unaffected.

Raising interest rates slows both consumers and business, and would be far more effective than raising the GST. Raising the GST is also inflationary.

Rents are included in the CPI, not house prices.

I thinking raising interest rates are working just fine. What makes you think they aren't?

Don't forget, Australia is a net exporter of energy, and therefore BENEFITS from higher energy prices. We export inflation, all over the world.
