  1. 0:21Economists warn that further rate rises could bring job losses and increase the risk of recession.
  2. 2:30Joel Gibson identifies higher-than-expected inflation as pressure behind the anticipated rate decision.
  3. 3:20Repayment examples show the cumulative cost of successive rises for borrowers with different mortgage balances.
  4. 4:14Bank hardship programmes and the National Debt Helpline offer assistance for borrowers struggling with repayments.
  5. 5:15Gibson suggests reviewing energy, health insurance, telecommunications and optional spending for household savings.
  6. 6:12Burger Head's Timothy Rosenstrauss describes replacing restaurant locations with food trucks as costs rose and customer spending fell.

Mortgage borrowers struggling to absorb another interest rate rise have options before missing a repayment, finance expert Joel Gibson explains in a report from Australian broadcaster 9 News Australia.

The Today segment aired ahead of the 's decision, with reporters describing economists' warnings about job losses and a growing risk of recession. A subsequent upload reports that the central bank raised its cash rate to 4.85%, the level anticipated in the morning coverage. The recession warning is a forecast, not a finding that the economy has entered one.

Gibson points to higher-than-expected inflation as the pressure behind the decision. His repayment examples show the cumulative cost of successive rises rather than the effect of a single increase: for a $730,000 mortgage, the graphic puts the extra annual cost at about $6,500.

For households unable to keep up, he outlines bank hardship programmes and the National Debt Helpline as routes to assistance. He also suggests reviewing energy, health insurance and telecommunications bills, alongside optional spending, to find savings outside the mortgage itself.

The political response comes from opposition defence spokesman , who calls a rise a "kick in the guts for mortgage holders around the country". Reporter Connor McGoverne contrasts the domestic pressure with Prime Minister 's attendance at a Commonwealth summit abroad, where he meets King Charles III.

The report ends with the consequences for businesses. Burger Head co-founder Timothy Rosenstrauss describes closing four restaurant locations and switching to food trucks as overheads climbed and customers spent less. "Every single thing went up: electricity went up, produce went up, meat went up, wages went up," he says. His concern is that further pressure on household budgets will also mean fewer customers buying meals.
