NO.074

For three years Labor has been saying GST cannot be made fair and should never be

introduced.

Now Labor says it will keep it.

Then Labor said it would “roll-back” GST.

It can’t say when.

It can’t say what on.

It can’t say how it would pay for it.

But today we learn from Mr Crean that “roll-back” is in fact not a Labor

policy at all. In fact it is a Coalition policy.

Apparently Mr Crean thinks that the best thing that can be said about

“roll-back” is that all along it has been a Coalition policy.

The Labor Party is now so proud of “roll-back” that it claims it was invented

by the Coalition.

Makes you wonder why we have a Labor Party when, poor things, the Coalition invents all

its policies.
