"There's the occasion when politicians will say things……" — Malcolm Turnbull
"There's the occasion when politicians will say things that are simply not true or that they make commitments that they have no intention of fulfilling. That is something that I think should not happen. That's a no-no. That's a third rail that you shouldn't touch."
