This is one of those moments when it is obvious to everybody that they have lost all credibility.

I am talking about the Monk and the Liberals and their *costings* - being shown up for what they are - here and here.

Some people dismiss this as "just politics" when in reality they have been caught out lying to the Australian people.

Of course anyone who is a student of "body language" would have worked that out during the campaign. All you had to do was take a good look at Abbott, Hockey and Robb - when they were talking about their *costings* to see how uncomfortable they were. Robb in particular was very uncomfortable which probably means that he was not happy with having to stand up and tell lies. Of course Abbott and Hockey have had more practice ;-)

It is unusual for the lies to be so blatant and for the truth to emerge so early - that is one of the benefits of this hung parliament.

Oh well I suppose Uncle Rupert will just have to work a bit harder to get his team back in the game.
