Top private schools lash PM's policy

- The Age 14/11/2007

"LEADING private school principals have branded
Prime Minister John Howard's education tax rebate
plan short-sighted, and accused both the major
parties of squandering education money to buy votes.

A day after Mr Howard promised more than $6 billion
in rebates to parents for education expenses
— including school fees — heads of schools in
Melbourne that stand to benefit financially from
the policy have attacked it for lacking vision."

in violation of a promise made in the 2004
election campaign." - The Age 26/10/2007

"We will keep interest rates at record lows" -Howard the Liar

You simply can't trust the Howard government,
He and Costello have BETRAYED the trust of
the Australian people



"After a successful few years as a junior minister in
Malcolm Fraser's government, Howard was promoted to
treasury, where his five years in the job can only
be judged as an unmitigated failure.
Take a look at the statistics.

When Howard left the treasury in March 1983, the
budget deficit was forecast at $9.6 billion, inflation
was 11 per cent, unemployment was 10.2 per cent,
the economy was in recession with negative
0.4 per cent growth, and housing interest rates
were 13 per cent.

And, despite the 1982-83 recession being the worst
since the Great Depression, Howard still managed to
increase the federal tax take from 25.1 per cent of
GDP in 1977 to 27.5 per cent of GDP by 1982-83.

Howard then spent 13 years in opposition, during
which - when he wasn't leader himself - he spent
a lot of time conspiring against the three leaders
he served under: Andrew Peacock, John Hewson and
Alexander Downer."
