LNP hypocrisy knows no bounds!
With the excuses flying fast and furious, and the number of broken promises that- according to Abbott and the LNP- are not broken promises at all, but the exact opposite (Which is a blatant lie about broken promises…WTF?), and international relationships falling like ten pins at a bowlers convention, and asylum seekers being so sneaky as to use a very small vessel, in a very big ocean (Again… WTF?), one can only reflect that the only thing that this government truly excels at is hypocrisy. 😯
The fact that they lied to the people to gain government, and then promised “No Surprises”, should have been a pretty strong indicator that with this mob, anything goes, and with regards to hypocrisy the LNP have all bases covered, with:
- Abbott telling Australia that the country’s open for business, when companies are going off shore or shedding jobs, amongst other things.
- Abbott stating that, our relationship with Indonesia will be stronger than ever, as the Indonesians cease cooperation on just about all levels.
- Abbott saying before the election that they will NOT do deals with minor parties, then doing a deal with the “Economic fringe dwellers”, the much maligned (by them) Greens, to abolish the debt ceiling.
- Our car industry, threatening to shut up shop with the loss of tens of thousands of jobs.
- Hockey telling us that we have a debt emergency whilst spending like a ten year old who’s just been given a new credit card, and then arguing that he needs a higher limit, or else he’ll run out of money to spend.
- Chrissy Pyne telling anyone that will listen, that he’ll improve on Gonski, when he apparently hasn’t even read it, and promising to base his new funding model on Howard’s SES model which has already been proven to be an abject failure. WTF?
- Hunt claiming, against all the advice from experts in the fields of climate science and economics, that “Direct Action” will in fact work to reduce our emissions by 5%, whilst trying to scrap the one measure that most agree, actually works.
- Brandis using his portfolio of AG as a way to manipulate the law, to the LNP’s own ends, for the sake of helping their mates, and pursuing their political opponents, and rabid ideologies.
- Medusa Bishop, swanning around the world as foreign minister, and systematically giving every close relationship that we have, a black eye.
- Geriatric Bishop, boosting her retirement fund, whilst comprehensively trashing the democratic processes of our parliamentary system, despite her promises to the contrary.
- Morrison claiming credit for slowing the boats, despite key planks of his policy, either in tatters, or not legislated, all the while looking for, and using , every excuse to keep the people in the dark over his game of “Hello Sailor”, commonly known as Operation Sovereign Borders, proving that the “Crystal clear, transparent, adult government… Just isn’t. 😯
The list is far from exhaustive, but examples of their hypocrisy abound, and I’m sure that my fine commenters will add to it as they see fit 😀
For me, I did think that Abbott reached a new high, in low, when he gave away patrol boats to a government accused of crimes against humanity, for the express purpose of rounding up those that are trying to flee said crimes… WTF? 👿
Another of my faves was when he denied lying, and said it was our fault cos we misheard him, or we were just wishful thinking… WTF?
And for Abbott’s information, when it comes to wishful thinking about the LNP promises, it stretches no further than a big black hole opening up under their federal conference, and the whole damned lot falling in, along with Murdoch and the IPA, never to be seen or heard of again! 😯
But his one kept promise; that of “No Surprises”, still holds 😯 as just like before the election:
LNP hypocrisy knows no bounds!

Yes, Hypo-Crisy and the rest of the mob have engaged in more than breaking promises and regularly bending the truth; they may even have strayed into areas of fraudulent misrepresentation.
‘Misleading & deceptive conduct’ in the corporate world will attract ACCC intervention; civil & criminal court cases; hefty fines; huge damages payouts and…. even prison!
But…. what are the penalties for ‘misleading and deceiving the whole country’ over a range of issues???? ………You get to take control of it!

Hi Truthy and thanks for another good effort,cartoon included. Every Liberal Prime Minister and friends from Holt to our present Whacko have hated Mandela and always advocated that he rot in jail forever and now Abbott is going to the funeral just to be seen with all the world leaders.
I can just see him trying to side up to Obama and Cameron and co with that cheesy slimy grin and dripping with false sincerity and confected compassion for Mandela while trying to mask the stench of his hypocrisy and hubris. If Mandela were alive and he asked Abbott what he has achieved so far as PM Abbott would reply,””’ Well MR Mandela i have taken away the school kids bonus from low income workers and i have also taken away their tax concession on their super oh yes and i have completely fucked up funding for schools so only rich kids of calibre” can get a decent education and oh thats right i gave 2 fully armed gun boats to Sri Lanka so they can kill their own citizens and that way i wont have to worry about them coming to Australia oh and who the fuck does that SBY think he is just cause i wont apologise for bugging his and his bloody wifes phone and those bloody wankers over in Bloody Warsaw bitching cause i wont sign up to their crazy whacko climate change bullshit”’ Nelson”’ i say ”Nelson”’ why are you running away”,Oh he probably has a meeting,”’ Oh Barack” i say MR President have i told you all the good things iv’e done for Australia MR President ” MR President ” oh well he probabily had a meeting as well”Oh David. i say David”’ Prime Minister have i told about my achievements as PM ” Oh,he must have a meeting as well,Angela” i say Angela ” have i told you how i ” God that German bitch just turned her back on me and walked off,bloody women what do you expect, i say Kim Jong ,”’ Kim ” hi, a real pleasure to meet you and you know i am also known as the Dear Leader in my country ,”’ what”””’ i dont believe this, Kim has just dropped his pants and is offering me his plump arse,now let me see,i have pissed off every country in the world except North Korea so i better not muck this up as well, Oh Kim, Oh Tony,Oh Kim i heard you had some big missiles but get a load of this one baby, now this is what i call a free trade agreement,”’
