Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te Kaitiaki Putea o mua a Peter Costello i pupuhi i te kawanatanga o Abbott i etahi wiki noa atu mai i tana tahua tuarua, e whakaahua ana i tana huarahi ki te taake hei 'kaikawe mate'. Mai i te whakaputanga o te kāwanatanga i tana pepa kōrero tāke e karanga ana mō tētahi pūnaha 'iti, māmā, tika ake' kāore he aha atu i te whakaaro mō ngā tāke e teitei ake ana, e uaua ake ana, e iti iho ana hoki te ōhanga, ko te kaitiaki tahua o mua o Liberal i roto i tētahi kōrero i roto i te Daily Telegraph. "He iti ake, he māmā ake, he tika ake te ahua o te tawai mate", ko te korero a Mr Costello i te Turei, e kii ana i te taake putea putea putea me te akiaki kia nui ake te takoha mai i nga kamupene tini. I whakahe a Peter Costello i te kāwanatanga o Abbott, e whakaahua ana i tōna huarahi ki te tāke hei 'kēki mate' Kāore te Kaihautū o te Taonga a Joe Hockey i miharo ki te whakahe a Costello, e mihi ana i te mea he nui ake te moni tāke a tana kaitohutohu Liberal hei whakamahi i nga tau o te kawanatanga o Howard. 'Me tīmata anō te kāwanatanga i te kōrerorero mō te whakaheke i ngā tāke, kaua ki runga.' Ka whiua hoki e ia a Labour me te Green, e kii ana ko te whakamahi i te punaha taake ki te tohatoha moni ka mau ki nga Ahitereiria i roto i te rawakore. 'Kei reira te pūnaha tāke hei whakapiki i ngā moni a te kāwanatanga i te utu iti rawa i te huarahi tino whai hua, me te iti rawa o te kino ki te ōhanga.' Kaore a Treasurer Joe Hockey i miharo ki te whakahe a Costello, i mihi ki te mea he nui ake te moni taake a tana kaitohutohu Liberal i nga tau o te kawanatanga a Howard. 'Mehemea he ōrite aku whiwhinga ki a ia, ka whiwhi $25 piriona tāra anō i ia tau hei whakapau i ngā mea,' i kī mai a ia ki Sky News mai i New York, e tohu ana ki te whakakore i ngā tāke waro me te maina. 'Kei te tika a te tangata katoa ki te tuku tohutohu koreutu, ā, ko te mea pono, ko te mea e tika ana - he tohutohu koreutu. Ka tukuna e te kāwanatanga o Abbott tana pūtea tuarua i te 12 o Mei. I whakamoemiti a Josh Frydenberg ki a Mr Costello hei kaitiaki putea o mua 'he tino rongonui', engari i kii te kawanatanga kua whakaitihia te kohinga taake katoa me te whakaheke taake pakihi iti kei te haere.
