My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Farrell. Core inflation is higher in Australia than in six of the seven G7 countries, and last week the RBA governor said that inflation was homegrown, saying that prices are rising strongly for the majority of the goods and services that we all consume. Yet, the very next day, the Prime Minister continued to insist that inflation was coming from overseas. Who is correct: the RBA governor or the Prime Minister?
