PM: Australians would have done it ‘tougher’ if inflation was ‘six per cent’

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says it would have been “tougher” for Australians if inflation was still at “six per cent”. “I know that families, many of them are doing it really tough, but they would’ve done it tougher if the inflation rate was the same as the one that we inherited, which was six per cent,” Mr Albanese said during Question Time on Monday. “We are increasing wages, having tax cuts, energy bill relief, freeze on medicines, making a substantial difference with all these practical measures.”
