This topic sure gets flogged on this forum, I reckon its time for another round. While we collectively bang on about the theory, what is actually happening? Lets look at RBA's figures, released today.
Quarter on quarter CPI increase: 1.2%
Annual CPI increase: 4.4%
4.4%!! Are you friggin kidding me? Despite the falling energy prices, house prices, etc?
Sorry deflationists, but no way do I believe we've got deflation. Sure, in houses, luxury cars, boats and overseas holidays we do. But in the stuff that really counts? No way.
