Summary
Queensland’s credit rating just took a hit—downgraded to AA from AA-plus by S&P Global, the first time since 2009. The move signals higher borrowing costs ahead, fueled by Olympic spending, inflation, rising interest rates, and wage growth—all squeezing state finances. With deficits forecast for three years and debt ballooning from $142 billion to nearly $216 billion by 2030, the government faces mounting pressure as annual debt servicing could climb past $7.7 billion. Political fallout is already brewing as Queensland braces for tighter fiscal waters. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
