Labor’s finance team and Jim Chalmers and Katy Gallagher are laying the turf for a new electoral battleground against the coalition – the future of public spending, including pensions. Chalmers and Gallagher compiled recent comments from their opposition counterparts, Angus Taylor and Jane Hume criticising public spending.
The amount of public expenditure has become a hot-button political issue as the debate continues over whether the spending of state and federal governments was contributing to inflation, and stopping the RBA from dropping interest rates. Chalmers and Gallagher say that since Hume, the opposition finance minister, commented on 1 August that wouldn’t have made “$315bn of spending in the last two years” if it was in government, the senior Coalition leadership has repeated the claim.
