You have to hand it to Penny Wong, she is a cool customer despite all the argy bargy.

The issue around increasing the GST, is that the coalition from Tony Abbott down, have said they WILL NOT RAISE IT.

Yet they say they are having a review of the entire tax system which they WILL include the GST.

Now which is it?

Because people who say that Julia "lied" can't see the logical inconsistency here?

(Gillard was assuming she would win outright when she made the statement, still people refuse to get it. Nothing like the pull the wool over the eyes flagrant inconsistency here. Of course the coalition are going to raise the GST, how else will they pay for the holes in their budget forecast?).
