The Finance Minister says she's okay with a short spike in inflation.
The Reserve Bank has slashed the cash rate 50-basis-points to 2.5% and is leaving the door open to further cuts.
It expects inflation to reach or surpass 3% in the short term but believes the economy is weak enough to push inflation back down again next year.

She says a little blip's okay, but the three years of high inflation under the last government is not okay.
