A tracker of more than 1,500 cafés by smallflatwhite.com found 17 per cent have increased the price of a flat white since the reforms. For those that did, the typical increase was 50 cents, or almost 10 per cent. The chief executive of Australian Restaurant & Cafe Association, Wes Lambert says many of his members have increased their prices. He says the "RBA kicked an own goal in this. They should have known better that inflation was going to remain pesky and that this ban would come online during a cost-of-living crisis."
The Reserve Bank was contacted for comment.
Former RBA insider and Westpac chief economist Luci Ellis expects the inflationary impact to be temporary. She said, "previously surcharges were imposed to reflect the cost of accepting certain types of payment, that's now been bundled into the price, so some businesses hav...

- Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has unveiled what he described as the "biggest cut to immigration in this country's history", declaring he was "confident" the changes would be budget "neutral" but did not offer up modelling on the broader economic impact of the policy. The Coalition's migration plan would go further than Labor's migration targets while increasing skilled migration. The plan would drive net overseas migration down to 100,000 for two years through major changes to graduate, humanitarian and other visa programs.
Mr Taylor said Australia needed "breathing space" after several record years of migration post-pandemic, arguing this was best achieved by slashing temporary migrants and prioritising high-skilled workers, including in construction. Business groups have expressed some caution over the plan saying productivity should be a key migration policy priority.

- Remember the good old days? The time when life was simple and opportunities endless? Except of course, often they aren't always so great. Last week, Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock batted away the idea that a recession was inevitable but finally conceded that unless inflation was brought to heel in a timely manner, it was a possibility. "If we don't address this, inflation will get worse, and interest rates will have to be higher, and the economy in a worse position in order to address that," she said. "So, it's not our base case, I don't want it, but if inflation expectations get away, that's the sort of scenario you might be looking at." Pandemic aside, we haven't experienced a recession — one where the catalyst was rising interest rates — since the early 1990s. It's a word that strikes fear into many in the community and for good reason.
