‘Hottest ticket since Cold Chisel’: Bullock returns home to Armidale

When governor Michele Bullock’s father read the newspaper the day after she said the Reserve Bank of Australia seriously considered increasing interest rates at its board meeting on Tuesday, he counted three photos of his daughter in one masthead.

With the fight against inflation still far from over, Bullock commanded plenty of attention when she declared she didn’t expect an interest rate cut in the next six months, and wouldn’t hesitate to raise rates again if inflation was not on track to fall below 3 per cent by late 2025.
