In this episode, Lloyd breaks down the latest RBA move and why Australia is now showing the textbook signs of stagflation. Inflation has surged to the highest level in the Western world while GDP growth has collapsed to 1.3%, creating the exact environment where every tool the RBA uses makes one half of the problem worse. He explains how this happened, why major employer groups are openly calling it a reality, and what history tells us about what comes next. Why are people talking about stagflation again, and what does it mean anyway?

◼️ the data behind Australia’s inflation spike and growth collapse

◼️ why stagflation is the central banker’s nightmare

◼️ who gets hurt first when prices rise while the economy stalls
