No it wasn't.

Who did then?

https://www.rba.gov.au/publications/annual-reports/rba/2006/note-printing.html

Note Printing Australia

Note Printing Australia Limited (NPA), based at Craigieburn in Victoria,
is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank, which produces currency notes for Australia.
Securency is currently more than doubling its manufacturing capacity at Craigieburn

People did, by being overconfident.

The reserve bank goes a long way to reducing macroeconomic cycles. That is what it is there for. Since the reserve bank became independent, our highest inflation rates always coincided with the reserve bank doing the opposite of "printing money".

I still say:

But it was the RBA that printed all the money that caused high inflation.

They should have said NO to the Govt. when Govt bonds were issued -
and not printed money to pay for them.
We are still going into more National Govt. debt.
It's now $1.2 trillion as we live way beyond our means:

How about we jump straight to the end Bobby, rather than me trying to figure out why you think the things you do from the inane questions you ask. Would you mind pointing out which high inflation you are accusing the reserve bank of causing? Then tell us what the RBA was doing in terms of "printing money" prior to the high inflation? Or is the extent of your argument based on the theoretical possibility that the reserve bank could do what you accuse it of, if it did the opposite of what it has been doing for the last three decades?

Dear FD,
check how property prices have exploded in the last 10 years and tell
me where all that extra money came from?
The prices went up a lot more than 3% per annum.
They went up 27% last year in one suburb near me.

If the Govt wants money they create Govt Bonds and the RBA prints money to buy them.
That's how the Govt can spend way beyond what they receive in taxes.
That's why we're in $1.2 trillion of National Govt. debt.

Not the spin doctoring from journalists desperate for something worth reporting on. I cannot explain why you get so scared every time you read a newspaper, so there is no point asking me to.

Of course it's scary FD.

Some poor devil has just paid $1,370,000 to live in a horrible little old dump.
Did you check out the pictures?
Could you live in that?
Doesn't it scare you too?

That's what happens when the RBA prints money day and night -
it makes our savings worthless.
