Show Notes

After the latest RBA rate rises, and the Gulf War impact, we explore the latest from our household surveys to see the impact of the financial pressures they are facing. We see a rise in mortgage related stress in particular. We also update our scenarios based on the latest from the RBA and explore the potential impacts ahead. On Tuesday at 8pm Sydney we will run a live show looking at the impact on individual post codes. If there are specific post codes your would like me to include, drop them in the comments.
