As usual the reporting and headlining of Bishop's speech in the media paint a picture that this government is "getting us moving" (can't remember the slogan) whereas, the real truth is obfuscation, delay, advice from multiple agencies, and general mucking around. All so they can cut costs this year. It's remarkable short-termism in all it's glory.

Bishop is jam-packed with blatant lies and sloppy insulting answers.

The great John Lennon ramble Just Give Me Some Truth comes to mind -

Ah, I'm sick to death of hearing things

From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites

All I want is the truth, now

Just give me some truth now

I've had enough of reading things

By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians

All I want is the truth, now

Just give me some truth, now

I wasn't aware of this song - thanks for leading me to it. I rate it higher than Imagine and the handful of other Lennon numbers I am familiar with. Will have to explore his legacy more.

much higher than Imagine for so many reasons but mainly because it’s less schmaltsy
