All sorts of stuff.
In the monetary policy decision in 2024, it was very clear that inflation was going to hit that lovely 2.5% bullseye target.
for the Reserve Bank at the end of this year or towards the end of this year.
Well, we're getting towards the end of this year and we're nowhere near it.
And it's not, it's a lot of it's not demand pushing up inflation.
A lot of this stuff is cost push.
It is the cost of health insurance.
It is the cost of renting.
It is the cost of building a new home, electricity prices, gas prices, all sorts of stuff.
And people are pulling their hair out.
And they're saying, when are we just going to be able to stop worrying about rising prices?
Because it's getting to people.
You know, and it's not cool.
It's really not cool.
And we'd like to be able to grow the economy and actually have a higher standard of living without worrying about pushing inflation.
This is a key thing.
You said there is a speed limit to the economy, and unfortunately, it's very low at the moment.
So normally, if the economy grows at sort of 4% or 5%, you'd expect inflation to rise.
But at the moment, we're growing at sort of 2%, 1.5%, 2%, and inflation's rising.
So the speed limit of the economy is awful, and that's all down to productivity.
