John Howard said the Liberals would never ever bring in a nasty Goods and Services Tax. We got the GST.
Tony Abbott says he will not disinter Work Choices.
Guess what: After his Big Biz paymasters tell Tony to disinter Work (No) Choices or lose donations, the Libs will disinter Work (No) Choices but call crushing unions, crushing wages and killing off Fair Work Australia by another name. My bet is the Libs will call it Workplace Reform.
There have only ever been two political parties in Australia capable of forming a government - the Labor Party and the Cheap Labour (or Liberal) Party.
Delivering cheap labour to its Big Biz mates is what the Liberal Party is hard-wired to do.
Every other purpose is smoke and mirrors. If workers are silly enough to vote Liberal, Tony Abbott will disinter Work (No) Choices. He will crush wages and neuter the umpire.
Don't blame Abbott. He's a Big Biz puppet. Big Biz pulls his strings and Tony dances. "He who pays the piper calls the tune."
