Second one, not great.
Third one, they did what they had to do.
I'm confident this week, James.
Yeah, let's win a knockout game.
That doesn't happen every World Cup.
I'll be getting up early, so can't wait.
Few closet TayTay fans, I reckon, at the Australian Conference of Economists, James.
Yeah, no, these speeches, they're worth tuning into.
There was one this week from another assistant governor, Christopher Kent, that caught my eye, James.
And what he was actually there to talk about was one thing, but what the market wants to hear is what they actually think about the data that's coming out on inflation and jobs.
And, I mean, he gave a little bit away late in the speech.
He talked about the intertemporal effects of rate rises, and that's exactly what you were talking about before, where rates go up and everyone –
is less incentivized to consume.
You know, it's not just people with borrowings that get slumped with bigger interest payments, but people that don't have borrowings that can put money in the bank, their rates go up, they're encouraged to sort of like pull that money out of the economy, just sit it in the bank.
And the spill on effect of the property prices as well, like you said, how that sort of flows through the economy, like it's not just the property prices, it's, you know, your real estate agents have less to do, the conveyances have less to do, the banks have less to do.
The house painters who normally fix up houses before they get sold have less to do.
Like there's a real knock-on effect.
So, you know, no doubt Sarah Hunter will turn up to talk about one thing and then everyone's just going to pumper about the economy right here, right now, what it means for interest rates.
This is a throwback to 12 months ago, this question, James, ahead of the big economics roundtable, and we're going through the changes that Australia could, insured, and would like to see.
