At least Gillard had an excuse for reneging on her promise; she found herself in a hung parliament and had to compromise her position to stay in office. Abbott has no such excuse but he compounds the dishonesty with absurd spin treating the electorate like fools.

Sometimes it seems that all sides of politics evolve from the same cesspit when it comes to being honest.

The hypocrisy of this government is again on display, with comments by ministers and repeated by Angus Taylor in the Tribune on November 26 referring to “..increasingly city centric narrative..” in relation to the ABC and the use of taxpayers money when you consider the city centric policies of the self- proclaimed ‘Infrastructure Prime Minister with billions of dollars being spent in western Sydney and Melbourne. Now that is city centric.
