Such false information destroys public trust. That relied on high trust, which should have been far better mitigated in the aftermath of the payouts. So, who do we blame for another case of government false information? But, please, the cover-ups, the exaggerations, the mistruths and all the spin corrodes public trust and confidence and undermines our democracy. As it is, how much faith should we have in the next official statements from Mr Robertson and Ms Sepuloni or from MSD?
