Cosgrove (and followed by David Clark) are trying to continue the claim that Peter Dunne is “Absent conscience when it comes to keeping his election promise never to sell off our water assets” and say it is “Time for Dunne to do what he promised “.
But like most political claims of broken “promises” these ones don’t stack up, as detailed in Is Peter Dunne breaking a promise on water assets?
