Thank goodness for small mercy Is the reaction within work to the falling inflation numbers of today.
There are certainly no guarantees, but Labor's Brains Trust hopes that the inflation of the headline will fall to 2.4 percent in the quarter of December – the best result of the consumer price index since March 2021 – will lead to an interest rate reduction next month.
That would enable Albo to call the elections at the beginning of March after West -Australia goes to the polls, which determines the likely election date on April 12, as is generally expected in Alp -Rangen.
That election date means that treasurer Jim Chalmers would not have to hand out a shortage budget at the end of March, because the campaign would have already started.
Instead, he and others will be able to crows over the having 'under control' inflation so that the rates can fall.
The (not inaccurate) claim will be that the lonely cut is only the beginning in February, with more expected during the rest of 2025.
But will this supposed manna from heaven instead turn out to be an mirroring? Possible.
Albo's Inner Circle has long linked their hope to an interest rate rate reduction in February to change the story about the government … But will the reality of a persistent high cost of living wipe the smile in the long term of the face?
I am not sure if the voters will reward work for a late single reduction when there were 12 previous tariff increases on his watch.
Especially when other countries have already had larger and more regular rate reductions throughout the entire last year.
And don't forget, today we received better inflation numbers, no rate reduction. Next month it cannot come true, since the RBA remains concerned about the underlying inflation that is above its target tape.
By the way, the costs of goods and services have already risen dramatically in recent years. I am a feeling that the damage is caused.
Nevertheless, given the recent poll of the sad state of work and the even more sad performance of the prime minister – reflected in his bad personal figures – the government will take good news that can get it at the moment.
It needs something, everything, to build Momentum to a shift in fortunes. Maybe this is it.
The chance that Albo (above with Jodie Haydon of the woman) brought the country to the polls on April 12, has increased today
Chalmers Belled the cat on the probability of an early election on his media conference today when he said he could not guarantee.
For someone who has been more than happy to lie and mislead everything, from not changing stage three income tax reductions to promise not to raise the supernuction taxes before the last elections, refuses to promise Chalmers that he has a budget in the Late March will hand out, says everything about the strategic planning of the government.
Go early and avoid a filthy budget. Especially if a rate reduction is announced next month.
The first part in that puzzle – better inflation numbers – was locked up today.
