Albanese government working to ensure Australians ‘keep more of what they earn’

Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the Albanese government is working to ensure Australians keep more of what they earn. “The defining difference between those opposite and this government is the clearest – this Albanese Labor government is working to ensure that more Australians earn more and that they keep more of what they earn,” he said during Question Time on Tuesday. “Whereas that opposition wants people to work longer and for less.” Mr Chalmers said the Liberal “leftovers” have “abandoned” middle Australia just like they did while they were in government. “They don’t even pretend to care about the cost of living anymore,” he said.
