My question is to the Treasurer. In the next three months it is expected that around 150,000 households with fixed-rate loans are at risk of falling off a $95 billion refinancing cliff. This will see some homeowners with repayments increasing by 50 per cent overnight. Why then did the Treasurer use three-year-old data to claim that Australians are finding it easier to pay their mortgages?
