"never ever"... really Malcolm - thats the phrase you come up with to reassure the public??

I'm guessing he didn't run that phrase by the campaign management 

Just like we will "never ever" have a gst?

Was that El Ay Double Yew LAW?  Or what?

John Howard used the phrase to describe a GST.

Mr Abbott used the phrase to rule out future excuses for not bringing the budget back to surplus.

One thing's for sure. If a politician says never ever, we know it's a plan.

Always, absolutely, never ever.

Labor has been running an advertising campaign featuring former prime minister Bob Hawke accusing the coalition of privatising the agency he founded.
It is based on a $5 million coalition plan to set up a task force within the health department to review the way in which payments are delivered.
'Medicare will never ever be privatised,' Mr Turnbull told reporters in northern NSW on Friday. 'Medicare will never ever be sold.
Medicare is a core government service. It will always be delivered by the government and every element of Medicare's activities will continue to be delivered by the government.'
---------------------
Then why do they want to hand over the payment section to the private sector?
---------------------
'If you take the payment system out of the hands of the public purse and give it to a private, profit-making entity, you are compromising the basics of Medicare,' Mr Shorten said.
