dogmatix,

But Howard did say that he would introduce the GST BEFORE he went to the electorate, or have you conveniently forgotten? All politicans, like every one else, can change their minds as long as they tell the electorate BEFORE the election,which is exactly what Howard did.

And, of course, circumstances can change AFTER they have been elected,which may force a change in policy. Wasn't that the Labor Party's excuse for their multitude of handouts after it was elected?
