The reality is that NO GOVERNMENT can control interest rates. It is driven
by surply and demand. Anyone that things that on this issue Governments are
all powerfull need to go back to the school of economics.

More like Swan will shit himself again. Hide in his office and tremble.

Refer Mark Latham for details of previous performances along these
lines.

Swan is like clockwork. He he is today:

"But Treasurer Wayne Swan responded swiftly, urging homebuyers to "punish"
banks that were acting unreasonably."

How many rate rises is it now since Labour came to power ? It's hard to keep
track of them all. I might have to start up a spreadsheet or even a
database.

No, he won't. He knows he has no power to set interest rates. It was the
Libs who disingenuously claimed they could keep them low, but they went
quiet when they rose 10 times in a row under their watch. Once during
the election campaign itself. First time in history that had happened.

A post by David Moss I partially agree with!

And now we're stuck with a significant proportion of the population
which seemingly regards movements in the official cash rate as a key
indicator (or even the only indicator) of Federal Government performance.

All I see there is Swann stating the bleeding obvious: "shop around and
take the cheapest loan you can find".

Incidentally I just did that and I ended up borrowing from the NAB.

Here's the quote: "But Treasurer Wayne Swan responded swiftly, urging

homebuyers to "punish" banks that were acting unreasonably. "

It's a scold to me, even if a little indirect.

You probably did the right thing by going directly to a bank. You should be
in a better position for subsequent negotiations if the bank isn't being
bled by a mortgage broker.

Yeah but your a wanker.

Consumers should do this with ALL their consumer affairs, welcome to a
