Higher inflation and interest rates are expected, hitting working families hard with increased mortgage costs. Mookhey also discusses net-zero targets, suggesting opposing them could lead to a recession. He emphasizes New South Wales proactive approach to net-zero as a sound economic strategy, attracting investment and positioning the state to navigate challenges.
