Federal Government - Election Promises - Fact or Fiction or Core and Non-Core

[Maggie5]

Trouble is, we then get the other mob in who, break their promises, causing the cycle to repeat

There's lies and broken promises - big difference.

 

[Maggie5]

Which he still won't use.

I think he should stop referring to Abbott and just talk about LNP (Coalition) as they are all as bad as Abbott.

 

[telsor]

There's lies and broken promises - big difference.

True I suppose, but I'd say the vast majority usually considered to be both, or at least very similar.

You can't say they failed on number 11. They've broken a lot of promises, but are clearly so keen to keep that one that they've told everyone involved to do anything to stop a boat reaching our mainland, including bribery.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Anyone who believes the (any) government will keep their word is a moron. It is touching a few on here get upset when they lie. Like a little kid who finally works out there is no Santa Claus.

Choice is either semi competent liars or incompetent liars.

Wheres the semi-competent option? It doesn't seem to be a major party? Which minor that got no representatives up is semi-competent?

 

[medusala]

Wheres the semi-competent option?

In the past ie Howard, Hawke.

 

[Gough]

Rose tinted spectacles mate. Howard was the most wasteful, highest spending PM in history. Were you one of those who mistook power walking in a Wallabies tracksuit for competancy?

 

[medusala]

Rose tinted spectacles mate. Howard was the most wasteful, highest spending PM in history.

No, see budget papers. Spending was higher under both Keating, Rudd and Fraser (I think 82 budget was under him)

Lol, more wasteful than Rudd, Gillard. FFS. Your hero increased spending by over 40% in a year!! He more than anyone set the rot of high spending in place.

[JoseMourinho]

The company tax rate is 28.5% for small business? .

 

[yibbida]

"Almost 63 per cent of small companies will derive no benefit from [the 1.5 percentage point tax cut] because they are neither profitable nor taxable," Mr Eslake has written in a note to clients.
