There are two sorts of broken promises. In the latter case, I’m sure that keeping my promise is probably not something that I’ll be praised for. Of course this begs the question: Why did journalists keep asking a question that had been answered hundreds of times? After all, if you thought the tax cuts were just fine and dandy, why would presume that it was necessary to check with the government that they hadn’t changed their minds? Maybe it’s as soon as we’ve had a Labor government for more than two months…So how will this broken promise/change of circumstances/help for struggling taxpayers play out?
