As at 5:10am AEDT:
The RBA Monetary Policy Board split 5:4 in favour of Tuesday rate hike, so a pretty close call. I'd say the five "for" were Governor Michelle Bullock, deputy Governor Andrew Hauser, and the three academic economists, Renee Fry-McKibbin, Ian Harper, and Bruce Preston, and the four "nays" were treasury secretary Jenny Wilkinson, Iain Ross, Carolyn Hewson and Marnie Baker, but that's pure scurrilous speculation and impossible to know.
