Inflation policy debated in Australian House of Representatives
Prime Minister Whitlam said the government would not focus on monetary policy to curb inflation. He cited two past-year evaluations, a devaluation stance, the Prices Justification Tribunal, a 25% tariff cut, steel price inquiries, and oil-industry reviews as inflation-fighting steps. Snedden accused Whitlam of breaching House rules and warned that price controls could worsen unemployment. The Treasurer noted consultations with the Reserve Bank and trading banks before raising interest rates.
