I think the RBA has lost the plot or at least its older expertise and understanding of the economy. The fiscal policy of raising interest rates to cool "demand driven" inflation was devised at a time when a much higher percentage of Australian home owners had a mortgage (I suspect high 80s%) - currently this is around 30% so the policy affects a much smaller depreciating population of battlers. Also a much smaller portion of the population was at retiring age - so effectively interest rate rises provide more confidence in that rising population to actually fuel inflation. Also I think our current inflation trigger was more import cost driven - I.E.same numbers of goods being imported at higher cost. The RBA needs to look at the bigger picture not just myopically small pieces of it.

your analysis of statistics is a little bias. More than 35% of Australian home owners have mortgage, however only a remaining 31% owns outright while the balance 30% renters. You have to add the mortgagees and the renters together to obtain a clearer picture, which would equate ~65% or more with property related loans

Get your terminology straight Wayne. Fiscal policy is government spending, monetary policy is interest rate decisions by a central bank. Not only have you mislabeled the policy, you are misguided the effects of monetary policy. There are many other direct and indirect effects of monetary policy than just mortgage holders. It affects trade through currency fluctuations, employment through business loans and aggregate confidence, performance of investments through bonds and securities. All of which affects all corners of the economy. Speaking of fiscal policy, at times of higher inflation, the government should be doing alot more to reduce spending to help the fight against inflation so that the efforts of the RBA are not futile. Too many governments leave it entirely up to the RBA to be the unpopular one and meanwhile spend as much as they can to get votes of the day.
