Howards tenure isn't over yet or will you blame Rudd when they go up in Dec &or Jan &or Feb etcetc I inferred that meant overall increases since Howard compared to BH/PK, which cannot be calculated as yet no-matter what spin is put on it. It is interesting to note that rates in the US got higher than here then however while the trend is mostly down overseas our are now going up, where both have to be put in perspective as to where growth is concerned. One other you failed to mention was when Howard was treasurer, if you are going to quote history is it proper to include others as well not just pick the eyes out of what suits at the time. There isn't a person alive that with any certainty could tell you if rates would higher or lower at any given time for either party however to my knowledge there was only one person to say he could control rates & that being Howard, who many took at his word, I can't see it happening again. We'll have to wait & see but I know where I put my money
