It's not rocket science, interest rates have nothing to do with governments. Everyday people who spend money in a shop would have more blame for interest rate hikes than any politician.
Who is stupid enough to think interest rates were going to stay down? They were going to go up no matter who was in as a consequence of trade, market boom/bust cycles and the impacts of previous governments policies.
labors now in and the interest rates have gone up ALREADY!(the first sign of trouble and they will somehow blame Mr. Howard..already have)Rates were around NINETEEN % when labor was in before. Mr. Howard got them DOWN to around Five % and our millions of deficiet into SURPLUS! You're houses are FULL..australia is one of the Best countries in the world and yet you STILL COMPLAIN!
Just a thought to leave you..labor means-hard labor.Liberal means..FREEDOM. What did you vote for?
Howard stated he would keep at "record" lows, they are not at record lows now! get your facts right. Howards yet again mislead all of us. Time to go Howard the sooner the better

Good governance! Good grief.
Sent the Government surplus into freefall.
Smashed the solar panel industry.
Trashing the genuine home insulation industry.
Farcical Green Loans program.
Concentrated financial power into the hands of the Big 4 banks, crippling regioanl and other financial insitutions.
Reversing the superannuation reforms so people could fund their own retirement.

its both factors.
interest rates went up under howard because the economy was so strong and business booming that people were confident and spending lots of money.
under the ALP we had lots of government spending that meant high interest rates
