Once again I'm confused.

I keep getting told that Labor are 'ruining the country". When I ask how, there are hardly any answers.

Today the Reserve Bank dropped interest rates. They're now a full 1% lower than when Labor took office, but I was told that interest rates would always be lower under a Liberal government.

Please Julia, keep ruining the country

not too mention the unemployment rate down.

I thought this was going to be a thread discussing string theory.

.......she's wonderful isn't she???

Does it really matter if they are lower when we are getting taxed to the "hilt" with the Carbon Tax making everyday living expensives going UP, UP, UP!!!

Remove the blinkers R&B and smell the coffee

How much is carbon tax costing you, southee?

I'm surprised you're so confused R&B? You usually come across like you know everything.

70% of People always vote Labor or vote Liberal regardless of the pro's and cons.

You are all a bunch of Muppets

Well said...sums it up really

Sorry southee, when you said 'we are getting taxed to the hilt', I thought you meant 'we are getting taxed to the hilt'.

The carbon tax is expected to cost about $10 per week. Compensation, which you haven't mentioned, will be about the same amount.

The interest rate cut today will save, on an average $300K mortgage, at least $15 per week. I think most home buyers will welcome that.

When Mr Howard left office, the rate was about 6.5%, it's now 4.5%. There hasn't been a rate rise for nearly a year, now a cut.

I think you're being a bit churlish, southee. I think the PM, who gets a lot of criticism, is entitled to some praise for this.

Don't you?

Any chance of debating the question, or are you happier making personal attacks?

Another praise the ranga thread, what a surprise...

The reason rates were cut, is our economy excluding mining is not doing so well, look at retail for instance. I could also use the argument used against Howard and Costello when the economy was doing well it was none of their doing but due to "outside international influences" or "anyone could run the economy in this climate". I'm glad there was a rate cut as so many are struggling to keep their households together, the new unnecessary taxes will put more pressure onthe battlers, sure some compensation for the initial spike, what about in the years to come after that initial compensation is eaten up by inflation?

If there is a string, leave it alone

theres a great song about string from the GOODIES (they should be running the coutry)

String, string, string, string
Everybody loves string!
String, string, string, string
Everybody needs string!
Pull on your pants
Slip on your vest
Everyone agrees
String is best!
String, string, string, string
Everybody loves string!

This government should be utilising the mining boom to stimulate the sagging non-resource sector. It's obvious we should have had an RSPT and the failure to implement one is a gross error. It would have also meant that the price per tonne of carbon could possibly have been lower at the introduction of a Carbon Tax.

Why mining? Why not the banks? Why pick on the resource industry

Profit growth vs asset base. Mining sector is our most profitable industry.

- the reason interest rates are dropping is because the economy is NOT doing so well
