Telling lies.

Gordon from Halswell

Is it possible for people to stop calling serving people LIARS unless you have PROOF that it was a LIE.
Breaking a promise is not a LIE unless you have proof that the person knew it was not possible at the time of saying it, even then it might be misleading and wishful thinking.

Is it possible for people to stop calling serving people LIARS unless you have PROOF that it was a LIE.
Breaking a promise is not a LIE unless you have proof that the person knew it was not possible at the time of saying it, even then it might be misleading and wishful thinking.
When politicians are campaigning they say they will do all sorts of things, that is based on information they have to hand at that time.
If they win and find out their information that they based there 'promises' on were not correct, or they have to work with a coalition partner so have to modify their stance.
Lets not be so blindly judgmental and name call, just to discredit a side you do not like.
Sure, point out poor performance as long as it factually based not just for the sake of ribbing the opposition
Have a good day.

Flags across the city are being lowered to half-mast as Christchurch joins the rest of the Commonwealth in mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen, the world’s longest serving monarch, died on Friday morning at Balmoral, Scotland, at the age of 96.

In Christchurch, which the Queen visited nine times during her reign, flags are being flown at half-mast and condolence books are being opened at civic centres.

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the Royal Family had been ardent supporters of the city, for which its residents would “always be grateful”.
