We'll find out tomorrow whether Australia's inflation rate is just as hot as New Zealand's.  

The consumer price index here rose 4.9 percent in the year to September.

“The headline number will track at 3%, and the underlying measures, which are the main thing that really matter for interest rates, we still think will be below the RBA’s target.”
