Jim Chalmers ‘keen’ to move the conversation ‘past inflation’

The Australian Associate Editor Graham Lloyd says Jim Chalmers has been “keen” to move the conversation “past inflation”.

Higher-than-expected inflation figures could see the Reserve Bank delay any interest rate cuts.

Annual inflation dipped to 3.6 per cent in the year to March.

It is down from 4.1 per cent in the 12 months to December.

Mr Lloyd told Sky News Australia that Treasurer Jim Chalmers moving past inflation is to give himself “a bit of room on the budget”.
