Australia goes to the polls in a week and for most people the election can’t come soon enough. According to the polls, neither Prime Minister Scott Morrison nor opposition leader Anthony Albanese is popular with, or highly regarded by, voters. Scott Morrison has already labeled it “economic vandalism”. The last time the Reserve Bank increased the cash rate during an election campaign was in 2007. If the Coalition loses the election, Morrison will almost certainly go as leader of the Liberal Party.
