The last two governors of the Reserve Bank of Australia have had their terms extended to complete a decade in one of the nation's most important economic jobs.

Today, senior economics correspondent Shane Wright joins Chris Zappone to discuss Lowe’s days of reckoning and the future of the Reserve Bank of Australia.
