At the last election the Austalian government was criticised for dishonesty and lies. It responded by going to the people on the issue of trust. That is, it bet that the people do not expect the truth all the time from their politicians, but do expect what the Government had been offering. So the Australian people have NO problem with the assertion that Howard is a liar, because they trust him, and believe that he lies to them when neccessary. Isn't this the same everywhere? Are there any politicians who never lie? No.
