Turnbulls latest Backflip. Under the bus you go

The Budget will be a ballsed up dogs breakfast.

TURNBULL TRIPS MORE MPS WITH NEW BACKTRACK

To be fair, the Turnbull Government should never have said its Budget would tackle housing affordability. But it did, and Malcolm Turnbull has burned still more MPs with his latest yes-no backtrack.
He burned Treasurer Scott Morrison by backtracking on a GST rise and burned Energy Minsiter Josh Frydenberg by backtracking on an "energy intensity" tax.
Now Michael Sukkar cops it:
Turnbull has cooled expectations of an affordable housing "centrepiece" in the budget, even as junior minister Michael Sukkar promised a policy to help first home buyers save a deposit without raiding superannuation.
For months, senior government sources have privately briefed that the housing affordability package would be the centrepiece of the budget – though they have carefully avoided saying this in public.
But in a clear sign the government is still grappling with rapidly diminishing policy options before the May 9 budget, Mr Turnbull tamped down expectations that housing affordability would be at the heart of the budget.
"I've read that in the press, but I don't think that's a fair description," he said on Friday...
Turnbull's comment surprised Liberal MP John Alexander, who led calls from the backbench for action to help first home buyers, and who said: "It's been made clear this [housing affordability] is the centrepiece."...
In January, Mr Turnbull promised at the National Press Club "a lot more to come on housing in the course of this year", and in early March, Treasurer Scott Morrison promised an affordable housing package in the budget that would address everything from social housing to first home buyers.
