Doorstop interview, Canberra

JOURNALIST:
As a matter of principle, would it be a good show to the Reserve Bank, that your Government is serious about spending restraint if we see a surplus?

Interview with Sarah Abo, Today Show, Channel 9

SARAH ABO:
Thanks so much for your time today. This, of course, was a very big call from the Reserve Bank Governor yesterday. Philip Lowe caught a lot of analysts off guard, some of them saying that it might have even been pretty vindictive because of your changes to the RBA. What do you make of it?
