Could someone explain this for the economically stupid? I get that the RBA lowers rates cause the economy is poo poo but the 'perceived' risk thing is confusing me. I thought term deposit rates were more an indication of what the banks think will happen to rates in the future, but I guess in this case the 1y rates going up wouldn't seem to make sense cause it's hard to see the economy bouncing back before then. Is he saying that the banks are struggling to get deposits to cover their borrowings because people think they'll fall over with the rest of the economy when the house of cards collapses?

The interest rate is basically their profit rate from the loan. If they aren't going to be making as much with a loan, the riskier it becomes to give out that money.

I was trying to see where the gently caress Leak even lived when I looked at his wiki entry.

Bill Leak (born Desmond Robert Leak, 1956)

Is... is he The Australian's very own Gerry from Parks and Rec? Just an eternal fuckup who doesn't have a name worth remembering?

How can this guy be in the game for so long and not understand that punching up = satire and punching down = mean spirited?

mps and senators always gently caress off early instead of doing their jobs, it's hardly an earth-shattering revelation.

Before it didn't matter. Yesterday was a Bas Rutten liver punch wake-up call. People are panicking about this.
