THE Reserve Bank has slashed interest rates by one percentage point to 6 per cent.
The surprise 100 basis point cut comes after conditions in international financial markets "took a significant turn for the worse" in September, the RBA said.
Analysts had tipped a 50 basis point cut.

you would curb inflation, but how many people would be forfiting their home loans en-masse?
