Multiple Australian outlets report criticism of a proposal attributed to One Nation’s treasury spokesman David Joyce regarding the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). The articles argue that the plan would place the RBA in a role of directing or advising government economic policy, rather than operating within its existing mandate focused on monetary policy. The reporting characterises Joyce’s proposal as seeking greater influence for the RBA over government decisions, which the outlets say could blur lines of responsibility between monetary policy and fiscal or government policy. In particular, the criticism highlights concerns about democratic accountability and decision-making authority, describing the approach as outsourcing economic policy to non-elected officials. While the outlets focus on negative assessment of the idea, they do not present detailed alternative policy mechanisms or provide figures in the excerpts supplied. Across the sources, the common theme is that shifting additional policy-direction expectations onto the RBA could risk worsening economic outcomes by changing institutional roles and governance arrangements. The articles are framed as commentary on the proposal rather than reporting new policy actions by the RBA or the government.
