Is Australia's central bank to blame for high housing prices and will interest rates rise further? Here's what the RBA boss saysRBA governor Philip Lowe says interest rates are not to blame for high housing prices, pointing instead to the role of land prices, the failure to address zoning, taxation and transport issues. Of course you are at fault. Along with much of Western world. Keeping rates so low has enabled many to over leverage themselves into the housing/land market. No I blame the Liberals who create policies to enrich their maaaaates while kicking down on hard working Australians w their punitive & vindictive agenda on us all ( except their maaaaates who are a protected cohort) The elephant in the room is importing nearly a quarter of a million people every year.
