"But to put GST down as another Howard lie is disingenuous."
you need to look ast the GST lie in its historical sequence. There was this "never ever" promise.
in that "later election", he would have lost (he should have as he did receive less than 50% of the votes), if there had not been this "children overborad" intervention.
It is disingenuous to say the people supported his GST in a sebsequent election after he had introduced his "never ever" GST promise. This lie ribbed a lot of people the wrong way.
