Reference :- According to the matron of Sky News , Peta Credlin , there were " no footnotes " on the Labor Party's promise to cut power bills .

 Reference:-  According to Peta Credlin , a promise is a promise ...and it is that simple. 

Dear Peta , 

                      Indeed , a promise is a promise , and a promise should never be broken .  (Although , the previous federal government did break quite a few ...due to unforseen circumstances ..ahem ... but the less said about that the better .) 

This new socialist government has barely moved in . I daresay they haven't even had time to transfer the electricity and change the locks on the filing cabinets yet, but already they are casting a shadow of doubt over their promised 275 quid cut to power bills .  What a disgrace .   They keep telling us that when the economy was handed back to them it was in worse shape than they had been told . Well we all know what a tired old excuse that is . 

Anyway Peta , we need you and your comrades at Sky News to keep pressing the issue in the hope that us ordinary folk do get our power bills reduced as promised .  We are all finding the cost of living burdensome of late , myself especially,  now that the Ute has broken down .

Ken junior keeps banging on about my promise to lend him the Holden ute  .  He wants to take the barmaid from the Kooralya pub to the beach this weekend , for some reason or other.  I did promise last month that he could borrow it , but when the neighbor gave it back to me yesterday , after borrowing it to tow his horse float , the bloody clutch was burned out .   I told Ken junior this . 

" The bloody clutch is burned out . " , I said . 

" But you promised . ",  Ken junior said . 

" Well it's just too bad . " , I explained . 

" But you promised ! you promised ! you promised ! " , Ken junior wailed . 

Sigh . For a teenager , Ken junior can be very childish with his temper tantrums .  I guess in a few years time he will mature like you and me Peta. 

I did try to console Ken junior 

" Perhaps you and the barmaid could still do whatever you were going to do at the beach without leaving Kooralya ? " ,  I said . 

" Are you trying to have a go at me ? " , Ken junior said . 

Sometimes you just can't win .  

Your comrade , Ken
