This week On the Money: We look at interest rates to examine why the drop in cash rate was necessary and what it means for the Australian economy. We also examine the large bank account of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak, and the deposits from Saudi Arabia and British Virgin Island Companies that are raising alarm bells with AMBANK. And we junk the jargon to tell you exactly how royalties work.
