An economy is more than just home interest rates.
If we look to history we can look all the way back to when Howard was a "treasurer" and see much more unfavourable interest rates.
If the interest rates are significanlty lower than they were under Labour as people keep banging on about, why is it so damn unaffordable to own a home. Maybe because of the price of property and land, which I am sure this "wonderful" economy has something to do with.
How about a Government who goes on and on about being in surplus because they wont sink money into INFRASTRUCTURE where it belongs.
All these so called tax cuts are nice to get but call me cynical, $20 dollars a week (before tax) in my pocket doesn't thrill me all that much. Having extra money in the pocket may be nice, but when you go and try to spend it on health care, education or something similarly worthwhile instead of a plasma screen TV or a case of beer every week, the INFRASTRUCTURE isn't there to spend you own money on.
I may not be the most political person in the world, but I damn well know when things are not right, not good and not pure of heart and the Liberals were all of these things and more.
Howard was a liar, a sneaky subversive tactician and has done nothing more for this country but ride the wave of a temporary resources boom without thinking of the REAL future of this country.
Damn I hate ranting but I really needed it.
GO LABOUR!!!
