Whilst I do think Howard/Costello have done a good job on these issues, it really does seem to be that inflation in Australia has also just been getting lower as our “great land” develops..
Yes. The Reserve Bank deserves a lot more credit than John Howard does.
Although I just found the date the RBA started inflation targeting and it wasn’t until 1993.So Hawke & Keating probably deserve a bit of credit for keeping it as low as they did.
Isn’t this also rather chronological?
