‘It’s a Liberal budget’: Shadow Treasurer and Treasurer reach agreement on one thing | Sky News Australia

8min

Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers has hit back at political analysis claiming the Coalition’s big spending budget is Labor in style saying the cut in wages for workers makes it a Liberal budget. Treasury predicts an expected rise in the consumer price index will exceed wage growth leading to an effective wage cut as early as this financial year.

JEChalmers Murdoch's dumb propaganda stories are wrong that it's an ALP budget. 'Inflation is expected to hit 3.5 per cent by the middle of this year, while wages are only forecast to rise 1.25 per cent.' See.. Aussies to get less in their wallets via newscomauHQ

JEChalmers An 'hindsight'er trying to analyse the future impact of the budget! Seriously?

JEChalmers When Labor was in govt 2007-13, three out of the six years we saw a reduction in real minimum wages. Unemployment 2013 after 6 years of Labor 5.7% Today it is 5.6% Lower unemployment will put presser on wage to go UP

JEChalmers Not so fast. Garner ALL the particular details first.
