RBA Governor Philip Lowe announced the interest rates would be raised another 25 basis points to 4.1 per cent on Tuesday, the 12th rate hike since May 2022.“ is not the end of it, this is start of the second round,” the Herald Sun columnist declared.

Top business leaders warn electricity prices will take years to fallTop business leaders have warned electricity prices will take years to return to pre-pandemic levels. Experts warn clean energy projects are not progressing, with coal still generating about two-thirds of the country’s electricity.
