- Description
- As the government leaves the door open to reinstate the fuel excise cut, independent economist Chris Richardson says it would "not be the best use of our money", and will only add to inflation.
But seven months on from the start of the Middle East war, with the Houthis making strategic gains in the Red Sea, the oil supply challenge appears to be getting more difficult by the day.
The benchmark oil price is up 60 per cent since the war began. Brent crude is $US107 a barrel.
Mr Richardson says Australians are going to have to get used to higher fuel costs.
Adding to the potential pain at the pump, he says, China's fuel reserves are running out.
"China had a whole lot of fuel reserves heading into this crisis, and it's been running them down... to save itself money and pain, but that saves the world, including Australia, a bit of pain on the way through too... But that particular lifeline is running out of the benefit it can...

- Description
- Competition in the mortgage market is heating up as banks compete for fewer customers by cutting home loan rates, even as the Reserve Bank threatens to raise the cash rate.
MST Financial banking analyst Brian Johnson said "we saw CBA actually cut. We saw the other banks basically follow. But then if we go into the last week of July, Macquarie came out and cut again."
Loan Market mortgage broker Julian Choo said "dozens of banks have dropped their variable rates in the last month." He said lenders usually did not proactively promote better interest-rate deals to existing customers.
The big banks are chasing new customers as their funding costs rise and property prices fall. Applications for home loans have fallen sharply, especially for investors following the government's tax changes and three interest rate hikes so far this year.
The Commonwealth Bank has the largest slice of the mortgage pie, followed by Westpac, NAB and ANZ Ba...

Deputy opposition leader Jane Hume says the plan lacks details and doesn't include modelling about the implications.

- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has fiercely defended his late mother against criticism by Pauline Hanson, who has been called on to apologise for her remarks.
The One Nation leader labelled Mr Albanese's references to his public housing upbringing as "pathetic" and argued that people, such as Ms Albanese, should not be able to live under such arrangements for decades.
Addressing the resurfaced remarks on Sunday morning, Mr Albanese said he was "stunned" by the attack on his mother, who died in 2002.
"If Pauline Hanson wants to criticise me, then that's fine, but my mother was way out of Pauline Hanson's league, way out of it," he said.
Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie criticised Senator Hanson's comments and said mothers should be left out of politics.
