Our two economists - NAB's Phin Ziebell and ANZ's Catherine Birch - have analysed every word the Reserve Bank has said about this latest decision ...and Gillian picks their brains to find out what's ahead when it comes to rates and IF raising them is actually having an impact on bringing down inflation (your cost of living). PLUS - the results of the Census are out - what does it tell us about Australia right now. Find out more about Gillian here
