The F-table pain this replaces
The live cash rate target still lives in the RBA F1 statistical tables
(Interest Rates and Yields, Money Market). The usual DIY path is download
f01hist.xls, fight multi-row headers, pick the right series ID,
sort, and take the last row. That works until a header row moves.
AU.CASHRATE/latest is the same published figure behind a stable
path. We do not invent a second cash rate, and we do not claim exclusive
access to RBA data. Anyone can still open the F-tables. We wrap them so your
script does not have to.
