Come on Warren wake up and smell the roses this is far from an unexpected problem in fact this was a major part of their electral verbalising during the campaign. If a Government can lie openly like this perhaps an election is the best answer. If they can't be trusted with such an election promise how can they be trusted on the world front.
The mandate to govern is a mandate to represent their constituents and with the current approval rating they ain't doing to much of that.
