Interest Rates

There have been several articles recently relating the high Australian dollar to Australia's increasing financial problems, and hinting that the Reserve Bank should cut interest rates at the next setting, early May.  Inflation figures are tracking well within budget suggesting there is room for an interest cut.
Lots of people are concerned about the application to subdivide the block at 79-87 Malton Road, DA 94/2013.  Apparently this land, pristine bushland, is known to be home to the last remaining colony of Gang Gank cockatoos in the Lane Cove valley, and also is home to Powerful Owls.  Trouble is all the other places where these lovely birds can live are being buldozed and built over.  Is it fair to penalise the last remaining land owner?  Hard to say.
