LNP’s Jane Hume trying to pick out problems in the current government in regards to interest rates & inflation, as she probes Philip Lowe in Senate Estimates.
Asks him what more Labor should be doing at the moment.
Lowe: “Nothing”
Hume grimaces.

Meanwhile in the House, Bob Katter up to some weird, but not unusual antics. Honestly don’t know what he’s talking about, I couldn’t work it out. 
Ok so who’s up for today’s Katter challenge? Which is to Unscramble whatever the **** Katter is talking about.
He even puts on an English accent to try get the message across. Didn’t seem to help me tho. 😂😵💫🤔

I fell asleep, accidentally. Just woke up to Dutton’s first question.
He asks a very broad question on Interest Rates and why they are rising under Labor.
Albo comes up and says he’s done his research & is schooling Dutton on the many times rates went up under the LNP.

Completely makes a mockery of Dutton’s assertion that Rates only go up under Labor, with example after example of times they went up under the Coalition.
Dutton muzzled.
Dutton muzzled.
Albo even points to times they went up while Dutton was assistant Treasurer.
Calls it a “fatal mistake” by appointing Spud to the role, as Rates kept going up on his watch.
Dutton looking defeated.

Ed Husic answers on obstacles the government has to get around😅 #QT
Sussan Ley asks why the government hasn’t got policies to further reduce interest rates.
Albo refers Ley to the evidence from RBA governor Lowe’s Senate estimates hearing today, where he said Labor can’t do anything more than what they are already doing.

Ley makes a failed Point of Order, is sat back down by Speaker.
She therefore goes back to looking down at her phone.

Speaker:
“The leader of the Nationals will cease yelling!”
Ted O’Brien received a similar spray on yelling.
Angus Taylor gets up to ask a question of the PM (still in fear of Chalmers)

PM calls Chalmers up to also answer Taylor’s question.
Angus now being grilled. For just that, being too scared to ask a question of the Treasurer.

Chalmers says Angus Taylor “hasn’t got a clue”
“That’s why he doesn’t ask me the question!”
