@FieldHatter 3/3 sorry one more! And I strongly supported Shorten in 2019, because that’s honourable. Albo could have done the same from government to avoid the pitfalls of trying it from opposition, like Bill & John Hewson did. That’s what Howard did re the GST.
And it’s another step further away from honouring its word and being trustworthy, irrespective of whether the broken election promises are good or bad policy…
@FieldHatter 2/2 As for the future financial gain, I have no interest, before or after these changes. Doesn’t remotely affect me in the slightest. If anything the change probably helps my interests, but that’s not the point. The lying, not to mention the attitude surrounding it, is appalling.
@FieldHatter Don’t be so naïve come on! Doing something that significant less than a year after ruling it out right before an election. That’s poor behaviour in anyone’s language. You think otherwise, seriously? If so, more than happy to agree to disagree, cos I’ll never agree that’s okay.
@FieldHatter Your whole narrative that my view on broken promises is built on personal financial gain just collapsed in a heap, but I admire your pluck in the face of that reality all the same.
