#1 - By PeteD, 10 months, 3 days ago.
"As part of efforts to maximise its investor base for the new debt, the government has said it will abolish a 10 per cent interest withholding tax levied on foreign holders of Australia's bonds. "
That is nice of them. So, is this a sign that the Gov needs more money? And also a sign that the Gov expects inflation to be low in the future? So money printing is out then? #2 - By cij, 10 months, 2 days, 10 hours ago.
Also, government's estimate of CPI are always underestimated.
#3 - By PeteD, 10 months, 2 days, 4 hours ago.
Definitely. So they are not going to be all they are talked up to be after all.
