Senator WHITTEN (Western Australia) (14:37): My question is to the Minister for Finance, Minister Gallagher. We got some very bad news this week from the RBA. Inflation is at the top of the target band and moving upwards, unemployment is up and the RBA predicts wage growth will be zero by Christmas and negative in the New Year. Labor takes credit for every little scrap of good news on the economy. Will you accept responsibility for the disastrous figures from the RBA we have seen this week?
