What an idiot, as if people earning average wages are in the same boat as him. A clever or caring politician would have said, "at a rate that YOU can afford". No wonder his approval rating is less than the current home loan interest rate of 9.5%. He just doesn't connect. …keep interest rates at a level that WE can all manage
