Jim Chalmers has taken Australia ‘backwards’

Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has criticised Treasurer Jim Chalmers for taking Australia “backwards”. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has branded Opposition Leader Peter Dutton as ‘dangerous’ during a speech at the John Curtin Research Centre in Melbourne. “If you look at where this Treasurer has taken this country, it’s backwards, which is why we have to vote Labor out at the next election,” Ms Ley told Sky News Australia. “But to be honest, I feel a bit sorry for Jim Chalmers. “He spent his whole life planning and plotting in Labor’s factional queue only to come up with this sort of stuff.”
