My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister’s statement yesterday that the monthly mortgage payment on the average mortgage of $220,000 is $1,430. Is the Prime Minister aware that the monthly mortgage payment on an equivalent sized mortgage would currently be $1,169 in the United States and $1,234 in the United Kingdom? When will the Prime Minister admit that Australians are paying some of the highest interest rates among developed countries?
