Summary[edit]

This image is a screen capture of Electoral advertising shown on free-to-air and pay TV in 2004 by the Liberal Party indicating the commitment of a Howard Liberal government to "keep interest rates at record lows". Labor has criticised this after six interest rate rises since the October 2004 federal election. In response, Mr Howard stated in August 2007 "[Rudd] can scour every transcript, and I will make them available, of every interview that I gave during that election campaign and he will find no such commitment."[1] In October 2007, Mr Howard "admitted breaking a promise to keep interest rates at record lows".[2][3][4] During the 2004 campaign, Howard was also cited as giving the same promise, personally, on radio.[5] November 2007 saw the sixth rate rise since the 2004 election, to a 10-year high of 6.75 per cent.[6]
