David Koch of Commonwealth Bank publicly challenged the Reserve Bank of Australia regarding the role of the Albanese government in Australia's inflation problem. In an open letter to RBA governor Michele Bullock, Koch urged the central bank to explain why households should bear the cost of inflation. Koch argued that growth had been fueled by federal and state government spending, public sector hiring, and wage growth, rather than households.
