My question is to the Prime Minister. The RBA has just confirmed the worst fears of Australians. Interest rates have risen by a quarter of a per cent, meaning the mortgage repayments of millions of Australians will rise. The Prime Minister promised that Australia had 'turned the corner' on inflation and that his government had it 'under control'. The Prime Minister took credit for rate cuts last year. Will he now take responsibility for the rate rise today?
