What has the housing prices got to do with Howard, the Govt under him has performed well with interest at all time lows and an enviroment conductive of business. While its easy to assume low interest high prices for housing but back in 89 we had record house prices under a labour Govt and the complete opposite, an interest rate to send a banker broke. House prices go up ...! Building costs go up...! Land becomes more scarce...! Foreigners want to invest in it ....! I suppost a labour govt could introduce price controls so that all houses are only allowed to be worth a set amount. Then we could have one colour say green, and the idea of improving your lot would be why bother...! Hope no labour leaders see this might be the foundations of there next policy statement.
