Johnno, The govt also said they would balance the budget. All the lefties conveniently forget Wayne Swans promises to balance the budget , which of course never happened . They also overlook the mess that the pervious Govt left behind which wasn't totally apparent before the election. Get a grip and see the bigger picture. Wake up and smell the coffee. Most people will want a balanced budget and economic prosperity and won't care less about minor infringements to pre election promises.
