But not all of us. Now not only can I not afford to buy a house but soon I wont be able to afford to eat either. Intergenerational taxation. Selfish boomers are leaving behind a dead world.

He cannot admit guilt or tell the truth anymore. If he can blame Labor for the rise in Rates in the past, he must admit guilt for rises now. Loking on frm abroad (Los Angeles),I get a feeling of a PM that is in his last weeks. John Howard is pathological. He cannot admit guilt or tell the truth anymore.

They are caused by inflation due to high oil and food prices. But Oil would be cheaper if we hadn't invaded Iraq and food increases caused by the drought are due to global warming.

That is, to say "Sorry". I have no time for smarta-se manipulation of the english language in an attempt to make this powerful word mean nothing at all.

Where's the confusion? The PM feels sorry for burden of higher rates on people. The PM has nothing to apologise for as he didn't lift them.

Could John Howard tell us what policy he has had in place to give us 10 interest rate increases in a row and why has he not changed this policy since 2001?

Point - Libs era stunningly successful - akin to 50s/60s prosperity & jobs - until Labor won. No sensible case for change, esp with rates still low.
