They asked questions about that of the new RBA governor, and this is what she had to say at estimates just a couple of weeks ago:

… what we're observing is that we're being assisted … by the fact that the government has taken the cyclical benefits of the budget banked them.

She went on to say:

I think that's very positive. For us, if it was being spent that might be an issue, but it's not being spent, it's being banked. So I think that's very helpful.

… … …

I actually think that what they're doing at the moment is good.

That was in response to questions from the ever-helpful Senator Hume, who complains sometimes that the Senate actually sits. That was the question from Senator Hume going forward, and that was the response of the RBA governor.
