Last week the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed inflation was at its lowest level since early last year.
On August 30 the ABS said the consumer price index (CPI) rose by 4.9 per cent over the last year – the lowest the measure has been at since the same figure was recorded in February 2022.
"This month's annual increase of 4.9 per cent is down from 5.4 per cent in June," ABS head of prices statistics Michelle Marquardt said.
"Annual price rises continue to ease from the peak of 8.4 per cent in December 2022."
