Never seen this before. Very nice way to filter through all the election promises made.

Has this been done before for other governments, or is this new?

First done in 2013, though maybe not exactly the same: https://www.rmit.edu.au/news/media-releases-and-expert-comments/2019/jul/election-promise-tracker

Stupid, irrelevant. Promises don't mean shit. Stop being simple brained fuckwits

Yeah, user ID checks out. He's an idiot

Very interesting and deserves to be in the spotlight.

I'd highlight that two of the broken promises seem to be ending high income tax cuts which were a ridiculous inclusion in their platform and another is that they didn't meet the deadline on urgent care clinics.

I'd also like to highlight the implicit promise of an allegedly "Labor" party to be pro-union. I'd suggest that removing the elected leaders of a union and appointing their own due to the alleged misconduct of individuals is a broken promise far more serious.
