Luxon jumps on anything and everything - I wouldn't read anything into that.
A review would be good (and the RBNZ is doing so) so long as it is about learning rather than blame.

Our inflation fighting central bank hard at it.
Sounds like they don't want to stop FLP in case banks forget it is available next time it is needed. That makes sense.

Good time to be in banking, record profits. I wonder why? Good prudent management? or RBNZ gaurantee? back stopped by depositors if needs be through the OBR.

Bernard Hickey on the case.

by choosing to use the wealth effect to rescue the economy, the Reserve Bank was making both a monetary policy decision and a wealth redistribution decision.
With Robertson's approval. Next time Jacinda Ardern or Labour says they are concerned about poverty, it might pay to point out their words mean nothing as the reality of their actions is the complete opposite of giving a s*it about poor people. No better than National both parties pander to the average selfish self centred home owning middle class. Neither will get my vote.
Although not RBNZ related Chloe Swarbrick highlighting the hypocrisy of Hipkins and Robertson. Obviously they are smart but will fight for whatever is best for them at the time. Like most people myself included but you would hope leaders would put the country as a whole ahead of their own house prices and financial security.

I think Arthur Grimes suggested a long time ago that the inflation target should be lowered, now he sees along with everyone else the "path of least resistance(regret)" RBNZ governor and labour making a mistake, admittedly in hindsight but we should look at it none the less considering the damage it has done to younger generations.

I appreciate the average self-centred homeowner does not see it as a problem.
Another RBNZ critic piling on.
I assume he would know what he is talking about. I agree QE seems misguided but what is wrong with requiring Australian owned banks keeping some capital in NZ. Complaints about Adrian embracing Maoritanga come across as racist even if it only highlights that Adrian is paid to worry about price stability yet he has failed miserably, while busy with other stuff.
