LOVING THE LAUNDRY MUST-HAVE ITEMS TO INCREASE YOUR STYLE Making the laundry as stylish as the rest of the home, Hills’ new product range features on-trend bamboo, offering a natural, contemporary look to blend seamlessly with indoor spaces.

The new products include: Hills Bamboo Concertina Airer Having a designated and organised space to dry clothing is a Neatnik’s dream. Hills Bamboo Concertina Airer (RRP $60.00) is perfect for the job. Ideal for small spaces or for anyone looking to save space, this clothes airer is made from a sturdy bamboo frame that has up to nine metres of drying space and extends to 1.3m in height – great for longer garments, bedding and towels.

Designed for convenience, the Concertina Airer’s folding frame allows it to be easily stored away when not in use.

Hills Bamboo Sorting Centre (pictured) Making laundry day super organised, the Hills Bamboo Sorting Centre (RRP $99.00) accomplishes the perfect combination of multifunctionality and utility, with its three removable laundry sorting bags to separate

whites, darks and colours, and an ironing board on top. Made with a modern bamboo frame and featuring wheels for easy and quick maneuverability in the home, the Hills Sorting Centre provides functionality without compromising on fashionable interior designer looks.

Hills Foldable Bamboo Laundry Baskets An ordered laundry, or any room, for that matter, can make a world of difference. Available in three limited edition colours; Olive, Sand and Clay, Hills Foldable Bamboo Laundry Baskets (RRP $29.00) are strong yet lightweight and designed to meet all laundry needs, with the storage convenience of a foldable frame. With a 35-litre capacity, the basket is made from a waterproof polyurethane fabric meaning it’s suitable for wet and dry clothes.

Apart from meeting your laundry needs, these trendy baskets are multi-purpose and can be used as storage for other household items.

Hills Bamboo Baskets are available at Bunnings Warehouse. For more information on the range visit www.hillshome.com.au.

BROKING BREAKDOWN

RATE RISE INEVITABLE IT’S A MATTER OF WHEN, NOT IF

MARK STEVENSON BELLPARTNERS.COM

Australian mortgage holders are gradually being encircled by the interest rate rise wagons as the once dormant inflation dragon stirs up again after a long sleep.

Central banks around the world have been raising their interest rates in response to cost-of-living increases caused by the economic impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand last week delivered its largest interest rate increase in 22 years – by half a percentage point to 1.5 per cent – in efforts to control the economy’s highest inflation in more than three decades, set to peak at seven per cent this year.

Inflation in the United Kingdom hit a 30-year high after climbing

more than expected in March.

The UK’s consumer prices index jumped seven per cent over one year, beating expectations of a 6.7 per cent rise. US consumer prices increased 8.5 per cent in March from a year earlier, the largest gain since 1981.

Official interest rates in Australia have been sitting at a record low of 0.1 per cent since November 2020.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) says it wants to see wages rise at a much faster pace before it lifts rates for the first time in more than a decade.

However, many economists are betting the RBA will have no choice but to start its rate-hiking cycle in June, shortly after the Federal Election, or maybe even

at its next board meeting on May 3 – just 18 days before Australians go to the polls on May 31.

As previously noted in Broking Breakdown, the last time a rate rise occurred during an election campaign was in 2007 when Labor Opposition leader Kevin Rudd rolled incumbent Prime Minister John Howard. Current PM Scott Morrison will be praying the RBA stays on the sidelines for another month.

While there has been a lot of noise about rate rises this year, when rates do go up it could be a shock to the system given the last RBA rate hike was in November, 2010! If you need to get prepared for a potential series of increases, do not hesitate to reach out.
