But at the same time, we're also likely to see – I think interest rates probably end up going up again in Australia.

There's probably –

This inflation shock, even though the textbooks would say it's technically kind of a one-off and it should wash through the system –

This is happening at a time when the central bank has tried to get inflation back to target.

They pretty much got it back there.

Then it rose again.

Yeah.

We've got still a very tight labor market.

We've still got inflation above target.

And now we've got an inflation shock.

There's a real risk that people start to think, that businesses and consumers start to think, well, maybe inflation is going to be meaningfully higher for longer.

And if they start to think that, then it becomes baked in.

No, I don't think it will.

Really?

No, because I don't make predictions.

I'm an economist.

Yeah.
