A couple of items, again in the Courier Mail this morning highlight more the plight of most Australians under Howard.

St Vinnies says poor are losing. Link : http://www.couriermail.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,15445423%255E953,00.html

Interest rates forecast to rise to 9% by the end of 2006. Link : http://www.couriermail.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,15445991%255E953,00.html

Why aren't Australians aware of this and that it is basically item 1 on Howard's agenda, creating a ruling/wealth gap?
