Albanese 'coincidentally' discovered cost-of-living during Dunkley by-election

Australians have suffered through a cost-of-living crisis in this country for years and the Prime Minister has “only recently” discovered it, says Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Paterson. “He spent the first 18 months of his term obsessed with dividing Australians with the Voice in our Constitution,” Mr Paterson told Sky News Australia. “And he has only belatedly discovered that there is a cost-of-living crisis, perhaps coincidentally, because there is a by-election coming up where there are a lot of Australians who are struggling with the cost-of-living. “That is not an excuse – those circumstances did not recently change. “The very least the Australian people deserve is an apology from the Prime Minister and the Treasurer Jim Chalmers for lying.”
