Except for the fact that the Oz public are not all criminals and can see through it. Incidentally, if anyone watched the youtubelink now posted at TTP the look on Costello's face at the end is priceless. GOLD! Ahh the old good cop bad cop routine then?

There is a difference between saying higher interest rates will be good for the Government('s re-election prospects) and saying that it signifies good economic management. They are two stupid things, Thompson saying the former but not the latter yesterday, and Costello saying the latter but not the former today. They are both crap, so when you conflate them, you give up getting two stupid gaffes for the price of one. Slight point of clarification to make.

Howard, Downer and Thompson himself all denied that he even said such a thing - but today they are all saying the same thing! What a miserable pack of wankers.

That should have been made screamingly apparent already, what with Howard’s deathbed conversions to:
- climate change action
- reconciliation
- health care funding increases
- higher education funding increases
- reducing tax for middle income earners and not just the top end of town
- addressing the skills gap between unskilled workers and university graduates

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera…
