Media outlets and millions of voters have continued to be deprived of information on how taxpayer’s money will be spent after the election this Saturday.

It one of the most contentious, economically-based, mud-flinging, promise-laden campaign run-ups of recent years – shockingly little actual information has been laid bare for public approval or condemnation, with party advocates instead relying on the dwindling trust of voters.

Liberal Party leader Tony Abbott has this morning defended, for the umpteenth time, his withholding of budgetary information on key election promises. Some details have been eked out this week, but the Opposition avoided a full disclosure of a final $10 billion in budget cuts and some policy costings.

In an interview this morning Mr Abbott said that while neither the Liberal climate change or broadband plans have been reassessed in the last few months, the public still cannot know they total costs, but they are certainly “bulletproof”.

“The Government's been crawling all over it. No-one has been able to question the costings. It is absolutely bulletproof,” Mr Abbott said, “on Direct Action; we released Direct Action early in 2010. It went to the Treasury in the post-election process. Again, Treasury found no fault with it. Another bulletproof policy from the Coalition.”

The Federal Treasurer has accused the Opposition of “failing the basic test of an alternative government,” by not telling people what it would offer in exchange for votes.

Mr Abbott has claimed on dozens of occasions that his party’s figures would be released “well before polling day” or “in good time” before the election. He says that Opposition Treasurer Joe Hockey will announce numbers at a press conference this afternoon; indicating that 48 hours before a poll, during a media black-out, qualifies as “well before polling day”.

In the trickle of information about the Liberal party’s plans should it take office, some savings have been highlighted. The Opposition its expected to reveal its full measures this afternoon, early reports speculate the budget will be $6 billion better-off over the forward estimates under a Coalition government. Mr Hockey is also expected to announce that debt would be paid down by $16 billion over the period.
