Grok does a decent job of tracking Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Lies… Did it miss any? Here we go: Broken promises, backflips and lies by Anthony Albanese since 2022: • Promised household power bills would be $275 cheaper a year by 2025. Prices rose instead. • Promised second stage power price cuts after 2025. Pulled the plug on rebates at end of 2025 with no further cuts delivered. • Promised to keep Coalition’s stage three tax cuts exactly as planned with no changes. Changed and restructured them. • Promised no changes to superannuation. Introduced new tax on balances over $3 million. • Promised real wages would grow and rise above pre-election levels. Failed to deliver. • Promised 450 gigalitres of environmental water under Murray-Darling Basin Plan. Delivered only 27.5 gigalitres. • Promised 50 urgent care clinics by his own deadline. Missed the deadline. • Promised new Pacific Engagement Visa by his own deadline. Missed the deadline. • Promised Makarrata Commission for truth-telling and treaty. Abandoned it after Voice referendum failed. • Promised no changes to negative gearing. Now pushing or allowing changes. • Promised long-term immigration planning locked in. Walked away from it. • Promised 42.5% Commonwealth funding of hospital costs by 2030 with no caps. Walked back and added funding caps. • Promised to deliver on every single election commitment. Broke multiple as listed. • Backflipped on removing sexuality, gender identity and sexual variation questions from 2026 census. • Initially refused royal commission into Bondi terror attack and rising antisemitism. Backflipped and announced one. • Backflipped on hate speech legislation by splitting the bill to get it through Parliament. • Lied about falling off the stage during 2025 campaign event. Video showed he tumbled off; he repeatedly denied it and claimed he just stepped back one step and was fine. • Removed the RMIT ABC election promise tracker amid scrutiny over broken pledges. • Promised to buy back Darwin Port from Chinese ownership before 2025 election. Still in Chinese hands, promise not delivered. • Promised a royal commission into the COVID-19 response.
