## Summary

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has warned that datacenters are part of growing 'inflationary pressures' as it raised interest rates to an 18-year high. Labor is considering a plan to attract AI investment, but the RBA's governor Michele Bullock suggests some pain now will prevent worse pain in the future. The Albanese government should better explain what benefits this rollout will bring and consider other inflation responses beyond monetary policy.
