"Labor's treasury spokesman, Wayne Swan, said it was the underlying, or core, inflation figure of 3 per cent that would force the Reserve Bank to lift interest rates when it met tomorrow.
The bank is almost certain to increase rates by at least 0.25 of a percentage point, and that has nothing to do with bananas, Mr Swan said. "It's certainly an attempt to straighten out his banana alibi," he said of Mr Howard's trip"
A banana alibi?
"Sorry the economy went to hell, i was too busy browsing pictures of the newly forbidden fruit on the internet..." Enjoy.
