Who would you say? Both have proven to be nothing but bluff and out and out liars.

This isn't about Abbott. I was expecting such a reply. He's never been the leader of a state, or nation. |

Ofarrel by far.
Ofarrell has been quite devious. As soon as he got elected, and started breaking promises, he took down all record of his promises from the liberal party website. Also, he has enjoyed a vast majority, and little or no opposition. Breaking commitments now seems petty and for little reason (not like he had to form a coalition with anyone). Gillard had to change plan on a carbon tax because circumstances forced her when joining a green/indy coalition. |

Ok..OFarrel and Gillard are equal liars..as are all pollies from the Coalition and Labor parties. Its how they keep their cozy little duopoly going. |

Gillard is the most hated Prime Minister and the most evil and corrupt in Australias history deluding yourself will not change how much she is hated.

Okay, I agree. Gillard's lies will have much more of an effect, IMO, but O'Farell is still the same - an out and out liar. |

I am not from NSW, can someone please enlighten me - what are O'Farrell's lies? Like I have stated before, Gillard's lie is not bad at all. She has clearly become aware, thanks in most part to the Greens, that climate change is real, and we need to take positive action on it. She may have lied, but it's for our own good, and the good of the nation. I am confident that most Australians will come to see that, and Labor will be elected next election. Hopefully we will have another Labor/Green government. That would be great, and a positive step forward for Australia.

Well the latest one was he went to the election promising not to sell the power generators. He also promised not to allow hunting in national parks. He just now did a deal with The Shooters Party in the Upper House which allows him to sell the Power Generators in exchange for allowing shooting in National Parks :D |
Title: Re: Who's the bigger liar - Gillard or O'Farrell? Post by Dnarever on Jun 6th, 2012 at 3:50pm
I think neither.
While O'farrell's performance has been dismal to this point I do not think he has been any less honest than you would expect from a Liberal. |

I give allowances for those not long in govt.. I think two years is ample.. lets face it..it takes me that long to move into a new home..ha.ha.. well almost.
anyway I think in all fairness you need to give some examples of what you mean.. gillard has been in power 5 years.. she was in power over 3 years when she made the biggest lie of the century.. she did have an enormous amount of advisers and back up.. to tell her NO NO NO Juliia..when she pulled the wool over everyones eyes.. when someone tell you you will have transparency in gvt..... one kind of looks forward to that |

It was his own mates who called him a lying rodent and he was very often cynically refered to as honest John. He is best known for coining the term non core promise, which means election promises which you do not have to keep. |

Which century was the WMD lie made? What century was the children overboard lie made? What century did Abbott lie and claim a carbon tax was the best way to battle CO2 pollution? Which century did Abbott lie about the carbon tax ruining this country and its economy? Which century did Abbott lie about the NBN being a white elephant? Which century did Abbott lie about the mining super profits tax driving miners away? Gillards lie was nothing compared to Abbotts litany of lies |

To be honest, just off the cuff I can't think of too many promises O'Farell has broken. Mind you, that's probably because he's hardly DONE anything. I was hopeful he'd be OK but allowing shooting in national parks has meant the hope is withering. |

You must have been asleep the rest of the century !!!!! you rate that worse than children overboard? she had to change her stance because of the way the election ended .. if she had won on her own right we would be unlikely to get a carbon tax John Howard on the other hand came up with a con job to try and turn the polls around .. he deliberately fabricated the whole story ... he made it up, he lied about it and he continued to lie ... |

Sure, and are you also a Gillard supporter? No active Christian, and I am one, could support her. I am 89. I have voted Country/National in every single election in which I have ever voted, except for One Nation in the Senate a few times. Joh was an absolute gentleman, who I had the pleasure of meeting on more than one occasion. He is one of the best leaders that we've ever had, and it's a shame that he never did become Prime Minister. |

Poor people of NSW. Just like Victoria the Liberal Governments are running your state into the ground. SO, just what HAS big bazza done for you since theelection? And if you are a public servant - and you voted liberal - suck it up and start saving! |
