Ellen Fanning says the prime minister’s office rang her and asked if she would like to speak to the Prime Minister.

Yup. Election is in the air.

Anthony Albanese is very keen to focus on the Coalition here:

I saw some of Angus Taylor’s media conference, and I’ve never seen anyone look so miserable. The truth is that Australians will welcome this fall in interest rates today, they are still under pressure It’s certainly not job done, but they’ll welcome it.

The only person who wouldn’t welcome it is Angus Taylor, and of course Peter Dutton who just on the weekend was making the case for higher interest rates, and it’s up to him to explain why he was doing that we have.

On the 12th, Dutton said the RBA was “risking” cutting rates too early and would potentially have to raise rates later on – that is what Albanese is referring to there.
