Michele Bullock Says Australians Are Welcome To Announce Their Own Cash Rate If All They’re Going To Do Is Be Critical

The head of the Reserve Bank Of Australia has confirmed today that she's 'had it up to here with you lot.'

The stern admonishing of the Australian public comes after Michelle Bullock yesterday rose the cash rate.

That decision comes after the RBA's magic excel spreadsheet numbers weren't doing what they needed - dictating that they now raise the cash rate to try and make life a bit tighter for people and force a few more people out of jobs.

Inevitably, that decision to raise interest rate has drawn plenty of commentary in the media, online, and in places were people talk to each other face to face.

And that has now led Bullock to tell the nation to pull its head in.

"Honestly," said Bullock in an exclusive interview with The Advocate today.

"People carry on about interest rates being too high so I lower them, then it turns out I've apparently lowered them too much and people carry on about me raising them to stop inflation..."

"Which correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't start the fucking war in Ukraine and global tariff tit for tats across the globe?"

"Or did I spend decades writing government policy allowing housing investors to rapidly multiply their wealth and create a completely fucked housing bubble?"

"Anyway, sorry, then people carry on about me raising rates again."

"You just can't win."

"So people can go and sort their own cash rates for all I'm concerned now."

"See how you go."
