Did Rudd promise the electors he would:
- increase the public service by about 24000
- increase the number of govt agencies by the truckload
- overspend & waste on school halls
- endanger lives with insulation
- encourage 50000 boat people, drowning untold numbers

NO! Well he should have. Might have changed a few votes don't you think?

Did Abbott promise to rein in spending and return budget stability & debt level?

YES! And that's exactly what he's doing. What he said he would.
Not all of it is nice and some of it needs a review which it no doubt will get in the House of Review.

WEAK!

But thanks for posting today's party room deflection ;)

I believe in keeping it straight and simple.

Tell me where I'm wrong.

b73, I can't recall Mr Rudd promising those things.

You don't need to be told.

If Tony had truthfully campaigned, as he should have seeing he would have seen the charter of budget honesty you wouldn't need to be posting such deflections.

But carry on :(

I sure you won't watch or even read but

1.12 is especially telling & blows your effort out of the water

Well let's talk about core promises and non-core promises.
If your core promise is to restore budget stability, which most commentators agree is necessary, there are going to be promises in relation to specific budget sectors that will be difficult to sustain. Agreed?

All politicians make & break promises. That is their field of operations, their battleground. Which broken promises cause most casualties doesn't matter as much as who wins the war.

And that's exactly what he's doing. What he said he would.

On the eve of the 2013 federal election Tony Abbott promised no cuts to education, health, or the ABC and SBS, and no changes to pensions. Fairfax Media looks at how those promises fared in the Abbott government's first budget.

Broadcasting

    “...no cuts to the ABC or SBS.” (Tony Abbott, September 2013)

Treasurer Joe Hockey announced $43.5 million in cuts over four years in Tuesday's budget.



Education, health

    “No cuts to education, no cuts to health…” (Tony Abbott, September 2013)

Tuesday's budget imposed an $80 billion cut to health and education spending over next decade.

    “We are not shutting any Medicare locals.” (Tony Abbott, August 2013)

All 61 Medicare Locals will now be scrapped


Taxes

    “No one’s personal tax will go up” (Tony Abbott, March 2012)

The Treasurer confirmed a deficit levy would be imposed on people who earn incomes over $180,000.


Pensions

    "No changes to pensions" (Tony Abbott, September 2013) 

Tuesday's budget confirmed age and disability pensions will fall behind wages growth from 2017 after they are instead linked to inflation.


Foreign Aid

    “From 2014/15, the $5 billion aid budget will grow each year in line with the Consumer Price Index” (Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, January 2014)

The Treasurer revealed foreign aid would be frozen, leading to a massive  $7.6 billion cut over next 5 years.


Indigenous affairs

    "The Coalition will continue the current level of funding expended on Closing the Gap activities." (Coalition policy document, September 2013)

Tuesday's budget cut $500 million through the consolidation of 150 programs.


Environment

    ‘‘ARENA will have over $2.5 billion in funds to manage." (Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane, November 2013)

The ARENA (the Australian Reneweable Energy Agency) has been axed.

    "The Coalition will promote the use of solar energy by Australian families and households. It will ensure at least one million additional solar homes or community centres by 2020." (Greg Hunt, December 2011)

Tuesday's budget scrapped the government's Direct Action policy to fund rebates for the installation of solar panels and deliver 1 million solar roofs.

No lets talk about TRUST & Sticking to ones commitments which is what Tony campaigned on for 3 years.


Quote:

I’ve seen the disaster that this government has done for itself by saying one thing and doing another, Jon. I don’t want to be like that. I really don’t. If we do win the election and we immediately say, oh, we got it all wrong, we've now got to do all these different things, we will instantly be just as bad as the current government has been and I just refuse to be like that… Before polling day you’ll know exactly what we’re going to spend, exactly what we’re going to save, and exactly how much better the budget bottom line will be under the Coalition.” – Tony Abbott interviewed by Jon Faine, ABC Local Radio, 30 August 2013.

REPORTER: The condition of the budget will not be an excuse for breaking promises?

TONY ABBOTT: Exactly right. We will keep the commitments that we make.

The difference is that Abbott hasn't kept a single promise he made.

I wonder if FD could make a specific  point of stickying that somewhere so we can always be reminded of it.  That is a bloody ripper, and adds further (but unnecessary) weight to my stand that Abbott is a lowlife lying reptile.

oh thats right he got us into DEBT...

not forgetting giving us over 50.000 more welfare recipients.....plus asylum seeker detention centres we will be maintaining for the next 50 years..

thanks krudd.

I think we desperately need to deal with the here and now... Alpha and Bravo Companies cannot hold and Charlie Company is being over-run!

There is no point in comparing the rate or value of lies and fibs (core and non-core) from both sides - what we are being handed now is more than just lies - it is a violent abrogation of what these people were elected to do based on what they said they'd do.

"Call it!  Broken Arrow!"

(damn - I wish they hadn't used footage of A-6s there when these didn't come online until 1968.... A-1s, A-4s, F-4s, T-28Ds, F-105s, F-100s yeah , maybe even A-5s - but A-6s?)  Oh and the final airstrike was actually B-52s leveling the place..... not a coupla choppers with guns.. and anyone remember the A Shau?  Send in the troops and find the little devils THEN seal off with artillery and bomb 'em - who not seal off first and bomb - then send in the troops to count bodies?)...

Both sides lie, yet hypocritically blame the other for lying while making up excuses, or deflecting, from their own lies.

It's like their supporters, as shown by many on this very forum - they don't care when their sides lie, but won't let go when the other side lies.

No integrity on either side.

The problem with your argument Bogey is it fails to articulate what both leaders said they would not do before being elected.....Where as Rudd did not say he would not do what he ultimately did, Abbott has done what he expressly ruled out before he was elected.....Abbott also refused to accept Rudd's mandate to introduce an ETS and used the Senate to block his policy making any policy subject to Senate approval.....Now Abbott expects the Senate to roll over and pass all his measures regardless of the merits and core values of opposition parties.....Abbott and Hockey have also added over 60 billion to the budget since the election and are blaming Labor so they can introduce their austerity measures that would never pass muster unless they created this false budget emergency.....If is not what you promise to do that matters as all policies are subject to Senate approval it is what you promise not to do, which is why I suspect you did not use Julia Gillard's "No carbon tax" promise as an example....All spin and no substance Mr Boggy!!!

I was quick to criticise that poster for doing so, pre-election

I voted poorly at that election.  I was wrong

How do you imagine your argument would fare if you took it to the media?

Or took it to politicians during their pre-election campaigns?


Do you see protesters in the street holding signs the size of matchboxes bearing tiny print?

Do Hervey Norman or David Jones et al advertise their sales in envelope sized posters at the bottom of their windows ?


Is the advertisement at the top of this page in tiny, monochrome font ?


and there you go

It's like when Politicians "say things twice", you know "they say things twice", IN ORDER TO "EMPHASIZE THAT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING  IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SOME OTHER THINGS THEY SAY & THEY WANT TO GAIN YOUR/OUR ATTENTION!

You are right PN, you are right - I must say that you have it right.  You have shown that copying Abbott is the way to make a point.  I mean copying abbot makes a point clear.  I am sorry I doubted your intention,  I am sorry I doubted you intention.  Saying it twice and in BOLD AND CAPS was a master stroke ...   a master stroke .. in getting your point....  yes .. your point across.

I am sorry sorry for even raising the matter ...  the matter should not have been raised.  Let me say that again in BOLD and in CAPS - PN what you say is so smacking intelligent I am sorry I missed the importance of bold and caps!!!

Babbott didn't just use big bold lettering, he had his promises, and his personal signature too, blown up and pasted on a bill-board and went and stood in front of it!

So, since they're all the same, remember and pass it on people!
