Gravitas
Brett Lethbridge
While the Reserve Bank is politically independent, their decisions can directly affect Australian politics. The interest rate rise in May 2022 mirrored a rate rise during the 2007 election, when Liberal incumbent John Howard lost to the Labor Party’s Kevin Rudd. Brett Lethbridge sees a rate rise as creating further problems for Scott Morrison in an already difficult campaign.
