Correct

As I was just about to land in Australia on a Singapore Airlines flight the Indian hostie came over the tannoy with a message about the Australian customs form.

He told us to fill the form out ‘truthfully’. That is just so Indian.

We would say ‘correctly’.

The truth is just assumed in Australia and it would be impolite to suggest otherwise.

Anyway we only lie by omission and not by fabrication. Therein lies the difference.

Which is to say we are the better liers.
