LNP promised to drop unemployment to 4 per cent by 2018, during the 2012 election campaign..
TV advertising by Labor states that the LNP have failed to live up their promise to drop unemployment to 4 per cent by 2018.
But is is only 2015 !
LNP still have 3 years to fulfill that promise. How can it be a broken promise if we are not in 2018 yet ?
