Reserve Bank expected to raise cash interest
The Reserve Bank (RBA) is meeting today to discuss interest rates and is expected to raise the official spot rate by 50 basis points to 1.35 percent.
If that happens, according to RateCity, the monthly mortgage payment will increase by about $137 on a $500,000 loan with a 25-year term.
Diana Mousina, a senior economist at AMP Capital, told australiabusinessblog News that the reason the RBA is aggressive in raising rates is because of concerns that the inflation environment could spiral out of control.

“We believe that at its July meeting, the RBA will raise interest rates by 50 basis points, following the 50 basis points we saw in June,” Ms Mousina said.
“The reason the RBA is quite aggressive in raising rates is because it fears that the inflation environment could spiral out of control. And we could see inflation rise to a much higher rate than what the RBA itself is forecasting.”

A Melbourne retirement home, where 45 people have died from COVID-19, has been charged by the workplace safety surveillance agency, with some relatives saying its managers should be jailed.

“I just didn’t think it would come to that. I was just very, very happy and surprised,” she said.
“And it’s such a long time. You know, I know there are a lot of steps and procedures, but I’m glad it’s recognized that something is wrong.”
WorkSafe Victoria alleges that in July 2020, after the home was notified of an employee who tested positive for COVID-19, St. Basil’s did not require employees to wear personal protective equipment, among other violations.
