Smiler...I don't suppose you are his son ? only kidding.
I agree with you 110%.
Think he will go down in history as being in the top2 or 3 of PM's ever.
He has had many challenges and crisis to deal with over last 10 yrs and yet he and Costello have pulled through with flying colours.
Low unemployment,low interest rates,healthy growing economy,wages okay and businesses doing okay.
Doesn't get any better than this.
If people have trouble servicing their mortgage at these interest rate levels,it just means they are either greedy or have over committed themselves.
Lucky for them rates aren't higher as it's not that long ago when labor,or should I say the unions,ran this country and h/loan interest rates were just above 20%
The general concensus I think is that people want a change in govt
If that happens it will be interesting to hear from the whingers when the economy turns sour due to a complete lack of expertise in handling it and making the right decisions at the right time.
However ,Labor does have a good record with high unemployment,high interest rates and lots of union led strikes.
Suggest we all make the most of the good times while they are still with us.
