Abbottt pledged to create 1 million jobs over 5 years. New parliamentary research into the government's own economic forecasts indicates the Coalition will fall at least 200,000 jobs short of its target.
Not going to happen either.
The analysis follows broken Coalition promises on schools funding and the rollout of the National Broadband Network, as well as hints at changes to paid parental leave, the national disability insurance scheme and Medicare. It also comes as the government battles the fallout over job losses resulting from the planned pullout by Holden and layoffs by SPC Ardmona.
Acting Treasurer Mathias Cormann stood by the jobs pledge, blaming Labor for the modest jobs growth forecast in the MYEFO.
Haha at blaming Labor.
Plus Health Funds:
The Abbott government has approved the biggest increase in health insurance premiums in almost a decade, as it walks away from any early implementation of its election promise to scrap the means-testing of the 30 per cent rebate for health fund members.
Getting so many broken promises/pledges we need to start a list.
