‘Another headline-grabbing announcement’: Dai Le slams PM over Budget relief hint

Independent MP Dai Le has slammed Anthony Albanese for “another headline-grabbing announcement” with the potential cost of living relief in the May Budget. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has dropped a new hint about the potential cost of living measures in the May Budget during a speech to small businesses in Sydney. “I shouldn’t be so cynical, but I can’t help being cynical – there must be something happening in 12 months’ time; an election time perhaps,” Ms Le told Sky News Australia. “To me, this is another headline-grabbing announcement, as usual. “I’ve got local businesses here whose energy bills have gone from $4,000 to about $11,000; will that $650 help? I don’t know, but anything will help a small bit.”
