If this is an index of good management, then dear reader ... please fill in the gaps at will.
Rate rise proof of good management: Costello
Federal Treasurer Peter Costello says today’s interest rate rise is proof of good economic management, and a reason for Australians to keep the Coalition in power.
This morning the Reserve Bank nudged the interest rate up 0.25 per cent to 6.75 per cent, an 11-year-high and the sixth rise since the 2004 election.
Mr Costello says he is sorry for home owners who now face mortgage interest rates of 8.5 per cent, 
but he says the rate rise is because of Australia’s strong economy, high inflation rate and low unemployment.
Mr Costello says it is proof of good economic management, which voters should ensure continues.
Some naysayers might suggest this begs the question of "who would you trust not to be able to organise a f**k in a broffel with a fistful of seasonally adjusted (goodness me, hasn't that tried, barely tested and barely true "seasonally adjusted" weasel clause gone out the window nowadays?) fifty dollar notes?"
Pshaw! This is the Treasurer we had to, and deserved to have. Barristers make great treasurers! Don't youse people know nuthink?! Next thing youse'll be telling us is that suburban solicitors don't make great prime ministers!! Cretins!!!
The Treasurer then went on to explain that he would liked to have expanded these self evident points, but he had to leave for a pressing engagement with the Governators' of the Reserve Bank, at which meeting he would show these inept bastards how to bend spoons, sell London Bridge 100 times without having to actually part with anything looking vaguely like real estate and how to sell insurances policies to people who step too close to the edge of the World and fall off.
