Int rate rises don’t impact the people that have equity so the RBA only tool: ‘interest rates’ won’t work.

Philip Lowe (RBA) disgusts me - he should be sacked. He is crucifying mortgage holders and ordinary Australians in the name of fighting inflation. But the the real drivers of inflation are corporate greed and the profiteering of these and the banks.
