I think most of us figured he would just quietly drop the promise come election time, not come out loud and proud declaring that he lied about it while it's still hot in people's memories.

His claim is so dumb as well, so it 's Labor's fault for having a referendum that he won't do another one? If only someone had pointed that out before he made that promise

Yeah that is the funny (in a sad way) part to me. Probably a reflection of where Dutton's Coalition is heading that he doesn't even attempt to save face. They are focusing on energising their right wing base at the expense of everyone else, in true GOP fashion.
