I can only wish Ms Bullock well. Next in line to be Chalmers' scapegoat I suspect.

Lowe will likely be supportive of her. He will no longer be constrained by his role and may find reasons to criticise various Labor policies. My guess is he may bring on further rises in interest rates prior to the end of his term to spare the newby the embarrassment but after that the new governor will likely follow the same recipes in the central bankers' cookbook as Lowe. Any criticisms from Labor may be commentated on by a cranky citizen Lowe.

I would wonder whether Labor has thought this through but you would know I was being disingenuous.
