My question is for the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Minister, this afternoon the Reserve Bank board increased interest rates by 25 basis points. How much will this rate rise increase monthly repayments for someone on an average mortgage of $600,000, and how much extra is this a year?
