Pete, you're there and I'm not...but in the U.S. it's been reported that although the debt has been paid off and there seems to be a growing economy, that interest rates on home loans are still high. They are suggesting that the high interest rates that remain are what triggered the change. So, it can't be both, low interest rates or high, which are they??? The comments about the rates were from some Aussies that were voting. There was also mention that the rates plus the troops in Iraq were stimulii. It was also reported here that the new PM campaigned on removing AU troops immediately when taking office.
