Yeah it goes beyond that.
There is no mechanism in terms of actual measures to deal with lying and corruption. Oh except for the equivalent of a 5 dollar fine. Ideally the parties themselves should show a level of integrity on this stuff, but they don't they just circle the wagon and protect their own. Even the committees that are supposed to look into this stuff are dismal failures.
And absolutely the opposition should be calling out lies by the Govt, that's their job. And their job is to oppose the government, if they don't agree with what they're doing.
