Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell believes the rate cut by the Reserve Bank “puts the focus” on Opposition Leader Peter Dutton.

The Reserve Bank has cut the official cash rate for the first time in more than four years, lowering it by 25 basis points, from 4.35 per cent to 4.10 per cent.

“I think this very much puts the focus on Peter Dutton now, I have to say,” Mr Clennell said.

“We’re at five minutes to midnight on an election now. Where’s the policy?

“They announced a nuclear policy – seven federal government-owned nuclear power plants, and then they kind of ran away from it.

“They’d have to convince a hostile Senate to end the moratorium.

“That looks like a pipedream.”
