Voting based on values not promises

 I read this recently, and it is so true.

“𝙄𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙭 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙨, 𝙫𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙨 𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙛𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙖 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚.”



My assessment only, but I sense for too long in this country people haven’t voted on values, they’ve voted on promises and what they think they can squeeze out of taxpayers. I say taxpayers as opposed to government because that is who funds government. Taxpayers; friends, family, neighbours and businesses small and large because those people are the ones funding Labor’s handouts and promises. 

If people voted on values, they wouldn’t have put Labor back into government. How could you possibly think a man and a party that has lied, broken promise after promise and made life harder for millions of people have any values? And a Treasurer who had the temerity to stand there and tell us how well they are doing? How could you possibly think that a party who stooped to attacking the leader of the opposition’s appearance (being he has no hair) possess any values? How could you believe a leader who can look you in the eye and blatantly lie about what the opposition would do to you to frightened you have any values? Particularly when the opposition clearly and unequivocally stated they wouldn’t do what they were being accused of and the evidence backed the oppositions claim up! 

Considering Albahese’s in 2022 lies, the hardship he caused, his insufficient amends and never saying sorry or even admitting he’d failed coupled with more lies, and contradictory evidence regarding his 2028 promises, how can you possibly trust him? If you voted for that, that isn’t be voting on values, it is voting for grand promises.

Anthony Albanese is a hard left socialist. He has promised not to unleash a radical agenda on the nation as Labor remains on track to reach 90 seats or more following Labor’s victory. And voters, voting on promises not values, has gifted him an overwhelming mandate. 

Of course, this was the same promise the Labor leader made in 2022. And we all know how that story played out. And if you trust him to keep his word this time, good luck, you are going to need it.
