I hope before rates go up the the stimulus packages are ceased, then we will get an indication of the health of the real economy which is being hidden by government stimulus.

Stimulus withdrawal from December: Swan

For an online account without many of the restrictions often placed on them and with good interest rates (5.11% currently) - check out UBank - A good place for money. Backed by NAB ... these guys are an online-only bank owned by NAB.

Online account setup is very easy (no paperwork!). Can direct debit/credit funds in and out very easily (not just to a single linked account). Can even have your salary paid directly into it.

Will be interesting to see what they do with interest rates - no indication that this is just an introductory rate, but that might just be clever marketing.
