TONY Abbott has promised no fibs and no surprises if he wins this year's federal election.
Hitting back at claims he has secret plans to slash spending or make sweeping industrial relations changes if he becomes prime minister, Mr Abbott vowed to stick by election promises.
"This will be a no surprises Coalition government,'' he said.
"We are not going to say one thing before an election and do the opposite afterwards because quite frankly that is what has brought our public life into disrepute.
"A government which fibs its way into office is a government which brings the polity into contempt.''
Mr Abbott has heavily criticised the Gillard Government for introducing a carbon tax it pledged not to do.
The Howard Government also made sweeping cuts to what it said were "non-core promises" after winning power in 1996.
Mr Abbott made his vow on a visit to Queensland as he inspected flood damage and helped fill sandbags to fight rising water.
Mr Abbott said on issues such as industrial relations where he has not spelled out his policy yet, the detail would come before the election and be based on "solving problems".
It is unclear how his "no surprises" pledge will apply to the plan to have a commission of audit into spending after the election and an inquiry into child care funding.
Mr Abbott has also left open the option not to have a Budget surplus in his first year, saying the promise is based on the "published figures" from the Budget which the government last month said was now unlikely to be a surplus.
Mr Abbott called on the government to publish new Budget figures.
Treasurer Wayne Swan indicated Queensland's floods would hit the Budget.
