‘Unrecognisable to those opposite’: Jim Chalmers boasts about Labor’s economic management

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has boasted about Labor’s “responsible economic management” while also taking aim at the Opposition during Question Time. “Responsible economic management is a defining feature of the Albanese Labor government,” Mr Chalmers said. “We’ve turned their two huge Liberal deficits into two substantial Labor surpluses. We’ve done this while providing cost of living relief, not instead of providing cost of living relief to people who need it because we know people are doing it tough. “That’s what responsible economic management looks like; it would be unrecognisable to those opposite, and that’s why they don’t ask me any questions about it.”
