Albanese not paying attention to what Australians are ‘screaming about’

Shadow Infrastructure and Transport Minister Bridget McKenzie says the Albanese government is failing to make the “tough decisions” which economists and the Reserve Bank have been urging them to do. The Prime Minister is in Cairns in Queensland announcing $260 million to go towards community and housing infrastructure after announcing $7.2 billion to upgrade the Bruce Highway. “The Prime Minister hasn’t really been paying attention to what Australians have been screaming about – particularly towards the end of last year,” Ms McKenzie said. “Unless they start getting their spending under control and making those tough decisions, the Reserve Bank will be left with no other course of action than to keep interest rates higher for longer than they should be.”
