The lies just keep coming
Howard had his core and non core promises that weakened trust in politicians. Gillard was hounded for 3 years by saying no carbon tax but I am determined to put a price on carbon. Abbott after saying his govt would do as it promised and there would be no surprises has surpassed even Howard for for outright lies and deception.
What I find astounding is the fact that he campaigned for 3 years on a half lie and has destroyed any cred he had by breaking not one but numerous promises. Three years of saying he would not lie and he shoots down any thoughts the public might have had regarding his integrity in the first year of office. I find that truly astounding.

Geo,
It takes a fair bit to raise my ire but this government is really starting to piss me off for all the reasons you have given plus a lot of others.
No doubt we need to tighten our belts and change many of the ways we go about things but this government just does not understand the Australian people and how to deal with them. It appears to live in some esoteric and rarefied place far removed from those it supposedly represents.
We do not need government of this style, it is abhorrent and has no place in this country. We need competent managers, Australian thinking managers, not idealogues who have little idea as to what will serve this country best.
