We've done very poorly on getting a better diversity from across our very geographically and internationally diverse community.

We have large companies.
that deal entirely with consumers.
They have a consumer base in the millions.
They won't have anyone on the board from a consumer background or with particular consumer expertise.
I've always found it astonishing you'll have companies that might have hundreds of thousands of staff and they have no staff representative on the board or they have no one with particular expertise in dealing with massive workforces
on the board.
So it still seems very clubby, and I can't see how reducing this non-binding target from 40%, which is already less than the percentage of women in the world, back down to 30% is going to make things better.

He obviously did promise that interest rates would be held very low for a number of years, which lured a lot of people into borrowing money before they then rocketed it up as inflation took hold.
Ukraine was invaded by Russia and lots of other things.
So always difficult to measure.
He's obviously not at the RBA anymore.
