The Gonski Mandate giving the lie

I can't really believe how one day the Coalition poodle can proclaim that they have "a mandate to repeal the Carbon Tax"  and then the next day say they will not honour their election promises about education reform (vis-a-vis the Gonski report…their clear proclamation (aka 'mandate') was to implement the Gonski reforms.
Today the Australian public are told .. to go and get nicked (to put it mildly!)
Not that I expected otherwise….but what a joke!
Don't tell me you have a mandate for anything!
You will do what you want and what you like!
