And that is why the Reserve Bank governor, when asked by a Liberal senator at the budget estimates, had this to say about international experience: 'It is a very similar experience.' She went on to say, 'Fiscal policy has been running a surplus for the past couple of years, so I would say that has been helping the inflation situation if anything'—the Reserve Bank governor. Now, if it's a choice between the Reserve Bank governor and the shadow Treasurer, who got rolled again today on divestment, then I'll pick the Reserve Bank governor.
