Tony Abbott puts his election promises in writing | Herald Sun
TONY Abbott will today make 12 promises to voters - and they will all be in writing.
The Opposition Leader came under fire recently for saying that what came out of his mouth could not be believed as the "gospel truth" unless it was carefully scripted and in writing.
He will seek to turn this around today by releasing his "action contract".
"It comprises 12 realistic, modest and prudent election commitments that are achievable and deliverable over the next three years," he said.
Mr Abbott has signed every page of the contract booklet and also signed a pledge not to bring back WorkChoices.
Mr Abbott says he will:
RESTORE the Budget to surplus in three years and pay off debt.
END Labor's wasteful spending on advertising, school halls and insulation batts programs.
REJECT the 40 per cent mining tax.
PROTECT small business and make government pay its bills on time.
ENFORCE strict border security by sending boat people to another country for processing.
LINK population growth to better infrastructure.
REDUCE emissions by 5 per cent by 2020.
PRESERVE the private health insurance rebate.
GIVE families six months of paid parental leave.
PROVIDE closed-circuit TV for councils to make streets safer.
PAY the best teachers more to improve education.
BRING back work-for-the-dole and welfare obligations.
