From Lockdown Bubble to Epic Tea Party

We'e got the latest data on consumer prices. So what's going up and what's coming down? And how does all this play into the September RBA interest rate decision. It's a big month - it's the last time Governor Philip Lowe will be in charge before he hands over the top job to Michele Bullock. We take a look at what she's likely to focus on and just how big the job ahead is. On the list: inflation, implementing changes from the RBA Review and climate change to name a few. We've packed a lot into 16 minutes! CommBank Senior Economist Belinda Allen joins Gillian to discuss.

A possible future - it's a bit 'big, dark and scary'

There's been a slight increase in the number of unemployed people (36,000 people) but there's also slight positive. Putting up interest rates while unemployment is worsening, is unlikely to sit right with the Reserve Bank. The economists this episode explain why. We also examine the latest average weekly earnings. They're on the rise. So which state is performing best? Which job? And women are ticking ahead - we reveal why. With jobs and earnings data now to consider - we explain what's likely to happen at Philip Lowe's last RBA board meeting as Governor. AMP Australia Deputy Chief Economist Diana Mousina and St George Bank Senior Economist Jarek Kowcza join Gillian for this look under the economic hood.
