Good afternoon and hello and missings from the Australia Institute Live crew. We thought we would drop by for a few hours to help guide you through the RBA’s decision on interest rates.

Spoiler: it looks like the RBA board is going to continue to be cowards and not actually move on rates, despite all the indications showing the economy is slowing down. We’ll bring you some of why that is a silly decision, as well as the reaction when the rate decision is made.

Ready? I’m on my third iced matcha, so let’s get into it.
