What the AFR says is true...Chalmers is smashing Labor economic credentials from the 1980s/90s period. He is trying to strongarm the Reserve Bank and bludgeon them into dropping rates before they think the economy is ready
It just not on. The cash rate is the only weapon they have against inflation and they should be left to make the judgement about lowering or indeed raising it. ShinyGlow Jim is only interested in pleasing the voters, not in protecting them against further inflation, which in his political judgement can be left till after the election, or till after the horse has bolted.
