Who will Howard blame for the next interest rate rise?
Uploaded by: australianlabor
Video Description:
At the last election John Howard said he would keep interest rates at record lows. There have been ten consecutive interest rate rises since he became PM and six since he made that promise. He is still trying to hide the fact that the highest interest rate for last 30 years was 22%... and that was when he was Treasurer in 1982. Who will he blame if interest rates go up again?

Tell a friend:

















the premise of this ad is that Howard's last campaign was bogus. and it was. unfortunately it's going to work in labour's favour to do virtually the same thing. play the policy, not the man.
Rudd wants us to think that Labor is taking the high ground and no resulting to smear campaigns.
What do you call this Mr Rudd?
But, how has howard repaired the economy? Keating/Hawke are responsible for the good fortune of the economy at present. #1 floating the dollar: our currency absorbs shocks of foreign market volatility. #2 dismantling tariffs so that consumers have access to lower priced goods. #3 eliminating inflationary 'centralising wage fixing' and introducing rigid, productivity based enterprise bargaining.
I'm not trying to defend Howard and I think he's lying bastard for not holding his promise of keeping interest rate at record lows, but I think that if you're going to attack him at least get the facts right.
australian dollar has never been higher.
If labors gets in then interest rates will go even higher because of the handouts and increased wages .. more strikes will happen .. and the economic prosperity will vanish under under the Labor government.
VOTE HOWARD!!
