Hi BG
When you state historical lows

Just a query ? Is the last 50 years enough of a sample with interest rates?

Prior to that it was down in the 3 - 5 % for many years allthough I have not the figures to prove it

It was the Keating era when rates went through the roof due in part to deregulation of the Aussie dollar and the normal big spending labour party.

Can we rely on statistics when the figures of say 80 years ago were influenced by factors that don't exist today?

Just doing a bit of pot stirring but I am very wary of statistics
