LNP wrecking ball govt, list of lies & incompetences

[just_me_karen]

Here's a blog that records the abbott governments failures and lies. Wow, there are SO MANY (would love to edit that to bold, red).

The list is fully sourced.

http://sallymcmanus.net/?p=29

Just some of the lies recorded...

- failed to spend his first week in an aboriginal community (instead, cut funding for aboriginal legal aid)

- failed to stop, or even slow, the boats. Hides them instead and now hides the minister too

- double backflip on Gonski, resulting in free handouts to the states that aren't contracted

- outright lies about the NBN

- downgrading of NDIS

- outright lie about providing the customised boat to monitor whaling. Instead, it is being used to hunt and capture asylum seekers.

It's an interesting list of failures...72 so far... and well worth a read. Can you think of others?

For all you people who voted LNP, how's that going for you?

What frightens me most is what else is coming?

I was fairly confident that a lot of the promises would be broken but it just keeps getting worse.

I think that I start too many threads about Tony Abbott 🙂

The immediate write off on the purchase of assetts worth less than $6500 by small business has been scrapped.

I like that idea, Donna...a thread for each item on the list. It's a growing list, too, so there's plenty of good thread material there 😄

I think infrastructure means footy stadiums?

Post a link to donna's thread, Joz, I missed it.

Which one is your favourite from the wrecking ball list?

I don't think they've added giving 11 million to upgrade manly stadium. I wonder why a footy team deserves that much money...could it be showing tony Abbott's priorities? Not a red cent for manufacturing, but millions to sport...

There can't be enough threads about that Galah Abbott and how he is ruining our country, I am reading them all,

Hard to believe that the middle class probably got them in, when was liberal ever for anyone but the mega rich.

You and Donna are doing a great job letting everyone know how wrong they were voting for liberal.

Most would now be sorry.

The aspect of  the many cathartic posts/threads from the still smarting PPTSD myopics is their  inability to research  e.g.:

Dean Ritchie The Daily Telegraph August, 2013

"LABOR yesterday gave Manly $10 million - to fix a $30 million, decade-old problem..... the grant was a pre-election publicity stunt, Manly must now attempt to find another $20 million to build a new grandstand....And it would seem the state government won't be handing over any money to the Sea Eagles.....One source said: "We haven't heard from Labor in years. You can tell there is an election looming."

July 03, 2013
Parramatta Stadium scored $20 million from the Rudd government yesterday to increase seating to 24,000, as ANZ Stadium began a campaign to secure $250 million to build a roof and improve seating.

Aug 2013
Labor government pre election commitments in western Sydney of $20 million for the upgrade of Parramatta Stadium and $4 million for Belmore Oval, Federal Sport Minister Don Farrell this week committed $10 million for upgrade of Brookvale Oval  and $16 million for a new training base for the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Maroubra’s Heffron Park.

JMK, ".....but millions to sport....."      JMK,   I think the term in sporting parlance for your post  is:  OWN GOAL

Alright Margo, you twisted my arm - I will have to start a fresh topic 🙂

Is that your only comment John? Hardly worth the post. What about commenting on the list provided in the link?

And as to your 'majority rules' tag line, I am sure I don't have to remind you of all people that the MAJORITY of Australians voted for the Labor Party and not the Liberal Party by some 2% (if i recall correctly) in primary votes..

Yeah, what happend to Mr Infrastructure, the PM remembered for infrastructure?

I note no-one has disputed all the election promise/pledges that have been broken so far. 

[cherry*135]

Are the broken election promises/pledges the elephant in the room?
