Sorry Mr Howard, you've lost me

Sorry Mr Howard, you've lost me

John Howard has had 11 years to invest in education and tackle climate change.

He wants us to vote for him so he can retire and hand over to Peter Costello, but he refuses to say when.

Sorry Mr Howard, you've lost me.

The Liberals can't look after our economic future

Can the Liberals look after our economic future? No.

Like many of John Howard's claims, the idea that he's a good economic manager doesn't stack up.

Let's put all the interest rate facts on the table

Let's put all the interest rate facts on the table

In the Liberals' newest scare campaign they don't mention that interest rates hit 22% in 1982 when John Howard was Treasurer.

Interest rates have gone up six times since John Howard said he would keep them at "record lows".

He's misled the Australian people and he's lost touch.

Howard breaks interest rate promise for 6th time

Howard's scare campaign on the economy lacks credibility

Howard's scare campaign lacks credibility

John Howard is desperate for us to forget interest rates have risen five times in a row under his watch, despite promising last election they wouldn't go up.

Kevin Rudd is an economic conservative committed to budget surpluses and maintaining the independence of the Reserve Bank.

He will keep the economy strong, and make sure it delivers for working Australians and their families.

A plan for Australia's future - not a stale scare campaign!

A plan for Australia's future - not a stale scare campaign!

John Howard just keeps running scare campaigns – the sign of a stale and out of touch Government.

Housing (un)affordability

Housing (un)affordability

Do you feel like you've "never been better off"? John Howard says you are.

Despite the big picture on the economy looking good, under the surface budgets are stretching to breaking point. Buying a house is simply out of many people's reach, especially young first homebuyers.

A brighter future for young Australians

A brighter future for young Australians

A Rudd Labor Government would be committed to young Australians having a voice and reaching their full potential.
