This episode the experts tackle the big question - is inflation going down fast enough to satisfy the Reserve Bank. And it's a crucial one to answer with the July RBA board meeting upon us. And happy new financial year. There's a key change about to be rolled out on wages while the experts explain how to use enterprise agreements and rents to predict what's coming down the inflation pipeline. Independent Economist Nicki Hutley and Economics Editor at The Conversation and visiting fellow at The Crawford School of Public Policy Peter Martin, join Gillian to explain.
