More lies

Quote:

"In an interview with The Australian Financial Review today, Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull said that he has the Coalition’s ubiquitous high-speed broadband plan ready to go that will give high-speed fibre internet access that will satisfy most users.
That’s right. Most users."

Yes, that was 21/08/2012. More than 1 year before the elections.
As "Blind Freddie" can see, a blatant lie.

Oh, how the public was deceived by these bunch of blatant liers.

The lies of Tony Abbott

Abbott and Hockey's lies.
In case you have forgotten.
http://www.smh.com.au/business/feder...514-zrcfr.html

Is this what Tony has reduced our country to.

With the lies and deception to get into Government.
With the confected budget emergency, and the kick in the teeth to the poor and pensioners Budget.
Is this what Tony has reduced us to.
Is this Tony when he realises his lies and deceptions are not working?

 

Well, I'm as mad as hell.

Abbott Government

This is my thoughts on what is happening in politics at the moment.
I have no qualifications or experience in economics or finances. So probably anyone could drive Mack trucks through my defence.
Abbott came to power on the back of a very dysfunctional Labor party with massive in fighting (why the hell did I vote for them?)
He talked of the financial mess and debt that Labor had. They also talked up their broadband policy and were totally negative towards Labor’s very popular and affordable NBN. They talked of a budget emergency and how they were going to right it, in general terms, no plans mind you, and they got away with it.
Abbott said,
no new taxes,
no surprises,
no excuses,
Can’t tax yourself to prosperity
grown ups in charge.
They talked of believing in climate change but rejected the market way of combating it with a ETS. They instead have this direct action policy of paying tax payers money to big polluters with no idea of the outcome or any penalties if it did not work. To me they are climate change deniers, well at least Abbott and some of his crew are, maybe not all.
They said they would accept GONSKi, NDIS, no cuts to education, health ABC etc.
Abbott was a great Opposition leader, very negative and obstructionist. He did a good job. He should have gone and handed over the reins to a real leader once he destroyed Labor.
We now know very starkly what we have voted in.
A Government of deceit and lies. A right wing ideology driven government of small government, virtually no safety net. Governing for the rich and bugger the poor.
They went to the last election with a completely confected budget emergency.
The real problem is the structural deficit in the budget.
Labor’s deficit of billions from the GFC to me can be eventually clawed back, it is a once off debt.
The structural deficit is the middle class welfare and 8 tax cuts from John Howard.
The private health insurance rebate
Paid parental leave scheme
Negative gearing
Diesel rebate to miners
Superannuation rebates
The Superannuation rebates more than $13 billion. What a saving to the budget.
Superannuation concessions are unfair ... the top 5 per cent of income earners get a third of the benefit, and the bottom 20 per cent get literally nothing.
Bring back the mining tax.
It is anything but "adult" to create a problem, pass responsibility for it to someone else, and then refuse to talk to them about it. This has to be one of the biggest instances of "buck passing" in Australian history. Of course this is the juvenile and cowardly act of taking 80 Billion from the states for education and health, then telling them to suck eggs and we won't talk about it, unbelievable.
Why the hell did I vote Labor for the first time since 1983 in the last election?
Mad, maybe. But Tony Abbott was the big reason plus Labor's "real" NBN, and of course climate change.
I did not think this Abbott Government would be this extreme and attempt to dismantle Medicare, Public Health, Public Education, have a society of haves and have nots.
I am glad I did not vote for them.

Malcolm Turnbull accused of Lying

Malcolm Turnbull accused of blatantly lying.
He has been accused by Delimiter of lying to radio station Triple J and to that great paragon of virtue Alan Jones on 2GB.
From Delimiter.

Quote:

Malcolm Turnbull earlier this week made several statements on Alan Jones’ breakfast show on 2GB radio which the Communications Minister is aware are false, repeating incorrect information he had previously broadcast on the ABC’s Triple J several weeks ago and failing to correct incorrect information broadcast by Jones himself.

Renai from Delimiter continues.

Quote:

I remind you of the Australian Government’s Standards of Ministerial Ethics document, which is published on line here in PDF format. This document states:

“Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries hold high public office and are entrusted with considerable privilege and power. The people of Australia are entitled to expect that, in the discharge of their duties, they will act in a manner that is consistent with the highest standards of integrity and propriety.”

The document further states:

“Ministers are expected to be honest in the conduct of public office and take all reasonable steps to ensure that they do not mislead the public or the Parliament. It is a Minister’s personal responsibility to ensure that any error or misconception in relation to such a matter is corrected or clarified, as soon as practicable and in a manner appropriate to the issues and interests involved.”

Renai has pointed out on a number of occasions Turnbull's misleading comments. It is unfortunate that this will not be aired in the Murdoch press or the ABC.
The ABC had Malcolm Turnbull on Q&A this week and Tony Jones the moderator went out of his way to shut down NBN questions to Turnbull.
I cannot believe that Turnbull was not asked any questions on the NBN considering he is the Communications Minister responsible for this huge infrastructure build.
Something is fishy there.
