Ahhh yes, rose coloured glasses time.

I can't' forget those halcyon days when my home loan went up 1% a month under Keating, getting to 18% f.....g per cent.

That arse almost cost me my home. He is a deadsh.t personified and his disgusting behaviour when media try to interview him is disgraceful

In short he is a freaking pig, and was a poo of a P.M.

Had to laugh though, in 'what goes round comes round'. There was a group of media waiting at the arrivals lounge at the airport not long ago. Keating got off and started to do his usual snarling, swearing routine, the funny part was they bypassed him, they were there to interview someone important. Talk about fall down funny!

Home loans did the same thing under howard except worse!

SOB

they did not, you brainless twit! home loans maxed out at 13.5% and everybody knows it except you - the idiot who flew with Howard in an F1-11

Anybody who cares to look at the Reserve Bank's records of government interest rates from the past few decades would find very different results. What John Howard did not want to admit then, and still continues to hide, is that when he was the treasurer in the Fraser government the interest rate was as high as 21.4 per cent - in April 1982. To use Mr Howard's own words "that is not a scare tactic, it is a fact".

Don't forget what they were left by "Retain your rage" Whitlam. The first traitorous PM of this country.

and what 'interest rate' was he referring to?? c'mon, you are so clever, tell us whatr rate it was.

The comment SPECIFICALLY mentioned home loans for which Keating holds the unchallenged recrd as highest. To say otherwise is to demonstrate the contempt in which you hold factual truth.

"I think I am getting it. You weren't answering another poster but meant forum "Fishwife" ???

See how some punctuation helps the reader get the meaning quickly. . .

Another thing I hadn't understood. I thought that you had run MY sentence through a check not your "fishwife" one.

Anyway, I'm sure the Asians speak and write English better than our uni graduates![/quote "

I know you are elderly and possibly easily confused. Also, the way threads 'flow' can be confusing itself. Hopefully the lesson you have learnt from all this is that the remaining years of your life should not be spent correcting people for their grammar and/or spelling. Especially when you yourself make similar mistakes.

In your remaining years try and accept that life has moved on and enjoy yourself. Try to take a balanced view of things rather than ingesting the ramblings of Jones, Bolt, Laws et al. Politicians of all persuasions are after one thing and one thing only - your vote. The trick is to pick the one that suits YOUR needs be they Labor, Liberal, Green or Independant. Choose wisely

I don't know your age, mate, but I know your posts are a mess of allegorical confusion.

I am a writer as well as a reader, old, but still far advanced on the present generation, that's because teachers of old knew how to teach and I was never satisfied with my knowledge but tried to improve.

You are not Jesus so forget it!

Allegorical? Why thankyou!

I don't think you understand the difference between hourly and salaried.

Just to help you think about it -

Do you think a plumber earns quarter of a million per year?
If not, how come?
Your compared rates suggest they do don't they?

I don't know a plumber that works 2900hrs a year either, but thats not to say that plumbers don't make a quarter million .. I just don't know any .... whats that to do with it?

don't try to worm your way out of it .. you are the one who tried to compare your salaried income with someone on hourly rate. ....

In 1993, Labor had 78 seats - a majority. This year, they have to actually win seats to win government.

You know the truth as well LW didn't you say you worked in banks back then?
Home loan rates where fixed at 13.5 BUT the bank wouldn't lend the full amount needed after your 10% or even 20% deposit most banks would only lend at around 50% of the required capital after the deposit. SO nearly all home buyers had to get bridging finance from a finance company for the remainder at a whopping 21%
Anybody who says different doesn't know what they are talking about.

You are technically correct however where you are wrong is that banks would not loan money at the Howard capped rate as mentioned but not only that the 17% in Keating's time only applied to new loans - existing bank loans were capped at 11%.

To get a 17% loan you had to apply for a 17% loan and they were only at that point for a year or two before falling dramatically.

The howard problem with interest rates was solved by replacing the Fraser government.

Thanks Dna I had forgotten the cap

To get a 17% loan you had to apply for a 17% loan and they were only at that point for a year or two before falling dramatically.

I think they were at 17 % for only 9months

The howard problem with interest rates was solved by replacing the Fraser government.

Over the years there has been so much BS about home loan rates , What has been stated in this thread is the actual truth but that truth doesn't bode well with the Liberals, I wonder why?
