“It’s hard not to conclude the whole business was premeditated from day one well before you ever voted in last May’s election,” Ms Credlin said.

Labor’s broken promise on super looks like a ‘premeditated tactic’Labor’s broken promise on super looks “very much like a premeditated tactic” as they “knew they would do this all the way along,” says Sky News host Peta Credlin. “It’s just that they decided it was less pain to wear the broken promise after a win than to the tell the people before the election, before they voted, and risk losing the election as they did under Bill Shorten,” Ms Credlin said. “You'd remember, Bill Shorten lost the unlosable election in 2019 because of an effective campaign against Labor's big tax on retirees and investors, plus a campaign against their price inflating and job destroying energy policy. Ms Credlin said clearly, the Shorten campaign experience changed how Labor “played things last May”. “Don't promise anything that might upset anyone, was clearly the lesson, but once you're in government, as Peter Garrett once said, don't worry, you can change everything,” she said.

Albanese government accused of ‘Labor’s version’ of the ‘sports rorts’ affairSky News host Sharri Markson says the Albanese government stands accused of “pork barrelling in the same vein” as the 2019 “sports rorts” affair. Ms Markson spoke of Labor’s announced $40 million for the Improving Mobile Coverage Round – which was formalised earlier this month. “In an election promise, Communications Minister Michelle Rowland pledged to fix the mobile black spots in regional areas,” Ms Markson said. “Tonight, we can reveal the vast majority of locations being funded are in Labor-held seats … as it turns out – 40 out of the 54 locations are in Labor electorates. “And just 11 locations are in Coalition-held seats – seven of those 11 locations were marginal seats that Labor hoped to win at the last federal election. “So, 40 out of 54 areas receiving funding to fix mobile coverage are in Labor seats.” Ms Markson commented Opposition Communication Spokesman David Coleman said this was Labor’s version of the “sports rorts” saga, where Labor attacked the former Morrison government for directing sports funding to Coalition electorates.

Labor has ‘broken an election promise’ following super reformSky News host Chris Kenny says Labor has “broken an election promise” with the Albanese government’s super reform. From 2025-26 super funds valued at more than $3 million will not benefit from generous tax concessions on earnings. “Another Labor broken promise, and another Labor tax increase, and who could blame the Coalition for going hard on that, and justifiably asking where will it end,” Mr Kenny said. “But look, while Labor should've been honest about this before the election, let's be realistic, they've dealt with that pretty neatly, and fairly, by saying their changes won't come in until after the next election ... so voters will get a say before a single dollar of extra tax is paid. “The real worry with Labor's super plans remains, however, and that's the plan to prescribe and guide the investments made by super funds.”
