abbot is right to deny costings, page-9

"However Mr Abbott says Treasury should not be providing that advice on the Coalition's plans, and says the Opposition instead wants to hand in its own costings analysis."

- I totally agree with Tony Abbott.

- Let's be clear about all this, Tony Abbott DID NOT say you can't see the Coalitions costings, rather you can see them with us (and the private accountancy firm which did the costings).

- OK that sounds fair enough, it's still open book, but on the Coalitions terms.
