About as strange as those who start beating political drums blaming governments for the current interest rate rise. It's happening all around the world with Australia being a tad late to the party. Doesn't matter a bugger what party in any part of the world, it's universal. Been yapped about for the last 12 months or so in the news bulletins and financial media. Blind Freddy could see it coming and not just here in Australia. Get used to it because there will be more rate rises coming by stealth.
