This advert irritates me. Liberal are again using a scare campaign to attract uneducated voters. The advert certainly tries to paint interest rates under labor in a negative light.

Firstly, we see a peak when Hawke was in control which declines 5% under Keating. Then the Liberals took over and have taken the credit for it which may well be deserved.

But prior to Whitlam who was treasurer and how high were the interests rates? Howard and 21.39%.

Also, does the advert reveal the various external influences at the time that were affecting the rates? Of course not.
