We lied to you about
weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
We weren’t entirely honest about
the GST.
We distorted the truth about
the children overboard.
We dissembled about
native title covering suburban back yards.
We’ve been disingenuous about
Cornelia Rau and Vivian Solon.
But you can still trust us on
industrial relations.
