A proud day. 60-day dispensing will make a real difference for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, who are struggling with rising costs. As a GP from Mackay, I know patients in rural and regional Australia deserve this change. Patients must come first. #60day

The pharmacy owners’ group enter post-truth politics with dodgy claims. This is a good policy, so-called losses are offset by other increases, but we don’t mention them: Guild ad blitz targets regions and marginal electorates to fight prescription changes thenewdaily.com.au/news/2023… – at Munich, Germany

This suggest that the RBA is now neutrally positioned (cash rate at 3.85%) to their forecasts. Further rates hikes must come from data that is materially stronger than the forecast slowdown in activity and inflation
RBA SOMP forecast assumption changes TWI from 62 down to 60 AUDUSD from 0.69 down to 0.67 Brent $82 down to $78 Cash forecast around the same at 3.75%

For those who say “todays mortgage rates are nothing as back in 1989 mortgage rates were 17%”…household debt interest/income is already > 1989 levels & int & total debt payments/income will be ~record level with a 4.1% cash rate. Hhold debt to inc ratio is nearly 3x 1989 levels

ANZ now expects the RBA cash rate to peak at 4.1%. Persistence in inflation pressures suggests that the cash rate will remain in restrictive territory for some time. We don’t expect the RBA to start easing until a 25bp cut in November 2024. #ausecon

It's clear that #COVID19Vic is making anxiety levels worse. Because of what we went through last year, & what might lie ahead, many are already struggling. Don't expect lockdown to lift on Friday. Get some exercise, don't overdo alcohol, & take breaks from the news.

ANZ has changed its RBA call to a rate cut to 0.1% in November. Today’s statement suggests they want to keep doing ‘stuff’. QE likely. We think the TFF gets extended next year as well.

The policy landscape has shifted. Policy will be easier, public sector capability will be in focus, and inequality and distributional issues, such as climate, will become more integral to the policy process. afr.com/policy/economy/a-wor…
In June I asked whether policymakers had gone too far. This is UK house price data today.
Blue Lens: have policymakers gone too far? The strength in equities, economic data & money supply is a puzzle. Unless policy has offset the economic impact of the shutdowns. This may leave inequality as one of the most important policy legacies. <<ow.ly/ATvX50A3zDg>>

In the midst of the #COVID19 pandemic many people are having a difficult time, particularly in Victoria. As a GP I know the impact this pandemic is having on the mental health of my patients. So on #RUOKDay2020 take the time to learn what to say when someone says they are not OK
It's #RUOKDay, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today, learn what to say after #RUOK so you can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK: ruok.org.au/how-to-ask #theresmoretosay
