Australian MPs Attend Church, Pray for Interest Rates Instead of Salvation
KEY POINTS
- ā¢On February 3, 2026, federal Australian MPs attended an ecumenical church service before parliament resumed.
- ā¢Liberal politicians joked about needing divine intervention as the Reserve Bank prepared to announce interest rate decisions.
- ā¢Officials including Anthony Albanese vowed to manage budgets responsibly while rolling out cost of living relief amid high inflation.
On February 3, 2026, Australia's federal parliament started its day not in committee rooms but at an ecumenical church service, where Liberal MPs humorously pleaded for 'divine intervention' before the Reserve Bank announced interest rate decisions. Reporters eagerly asked parliamentarians if they prayed for 'forgiveness' or a long-lost Coalition reunionābecause nothing says political unity quite like a prayer circle! Meanwhile, inflation remains stubbornly high, squeezing Australians, and politicians like Laborās Anthony Albanese and liberal MP Sussan Ley promise to 'continue to manage the budget responsibly' and drip-feed cost of living relief. Clearly, when fiscal policy exits, spirituality checks in.

Australia solves inflation woes with holy water and prayers instead of actual economic policyārate hikes or miracles? Decisions, decisions.
Nothing screams fiscal responsibility like asking for Godās help to fix your economic mess before parliament meets.
When your inflation rates climb higher than personal approval ratings, itās time to buddy up with the Almighty.
