My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the speech last night by the Reserve Bank governor, Glenn Stevens. Does the Treasurer agree with the governor’s assessment that rising inflation is:

... not just because of prices of petrol and bananas.

What factors does the Treasurer believe are putting upward pressure on inflation and interest rates?
