Is that another first by the RBA?

The RBA is a rare central bank that doesn't follow anyone on twitter. And it never replies to anyone on twitter. But it appears we have another first. RBA just replied to two tweets to clarify that the timing of live audio broadcast (first time ever) of RBA Governor Lowe's speech later today is completely unrelated to the topic (I already wrote about this in my previous snippet). More transparency (communication) from the RBA?
