Tony Abbott had
this to say on the dreaded Carbon Tax
I am giving you the most definite commitment any politician can give that this tax will go.
This is a pledge in blood: this tax will go. We can get rid of it, we will get rid of it, we must get rid of it.
In a previous life as Health Minister he also said this to say regarding the Medicare safety net
"That is an absolutely rock-solid, iron-clad commitment."
His excuse for breaking that
absolutely rock-solid, iron-clad commitment?
when I made that statement, in the election campaign, I had not the slightest inkling that there would ever be any intention to change this. But obviously when circumstances change, governments do change their opinions, and that is actually the responsible course of action.
Fair enough.
