Hockey Lied

[redandblack]

I made the mistake of presuming you had read and knew the facts at the time. My apologies that you obviously didn't

Facts you are still as of yet unable to produce in this discussion.

Facts that are so well known and have been discussed and analysed at length previously.

I'm happy to flood you with references, though, so watch this space.

3 The killer:


However in spruiking the document on radio and television yesterday Coalition Treasury spokesman Joe Hockey repeatedly described it as an audit.

"We have the fifth biggest accounting firm in Australia auditing our books and certifying in law that our numbers are accurate," he told ABC TV. "They have certified our numbers based on all the information we have provided them, they have legal obligations and legal risks," he added.

Speaking to ABC radio he said the analysis was "signed off by the fifth-biggest auditor in Australia".

"I tell you, it is an audit. This is an audited statement," he said.

Happy

Joe Hockey clearly stated that the coalition's election costings were definitely properly audited.

The accountants involved have just been reprimanded b the Institute of Chartered Accountants for their work, which the ICA said wasn't an audit.

A straight out lie.

I stand by for the outrage at this lie by those who have attacked the PM for doing the same.

I agree with you redandblack, he deserves to be sacked for this outrage

[Bat Pad]

Clearly shows that he doesn't understand the meaning of the word more than that he was deliberately deceptive.

More of a competence issue than an honesty one, not sure which is worse.

[Jimmy_041]

I agree too.

Let's start sacking each one that lies - might start improving their performance

In fact, make them subject to the Competition & Consumer Act 2010 then they go to jail plus we can sue for damages.

You're really struggling now.

You're saying the Shadow Treasurer doesn't know what an audit is?

And you want people to vote for him

When have I ever said who people should vote for?

And I clearly stated he should be held accountable for his treatment of the matter earlier in this thread

And I am the one who is struggling?

[redandblack]

Yes, buried under a thesaurus of spin.

Look up 'rhetorical question' while you've got it

[Bat Pad]

Yes, buried under a thesaurus of spin.

Once again don't bother to answer my questions when you make claims without back up.

The feelings mutual

[Booney]

Yep. That was a lie, no doubt. To claim he did not understand the meaning of the term is even more insulting to the public who voted for him.

Seems as though you dont need to be honest to be a pollie though :

They are all frickin liars

And the best liars get elected.

It would appear so in this country. I'll even be happy if Rudd can topple the hag before the next election. Can't wait to see her perish
