Albanese government ‘absolved’ its responsibility for inflation
Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume says the Labor government has essentially “absolved” its responsibility for inflation going up.
This comes as Treasurer Jim Chalmers called out Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor for his “egregious lies” and has cautioned Australians to take anything he says about the economy “with a grain of salt”.

“What we have been saying – have been saying for a long time now – is that inflation is the number one issue in the economy,” Ms Hume told Sky News Australia.
“The government has to be doing its bid using its fiscal firepower in order to help bring inflation back under control.
“It can’t simply rely on the Reserve Bank to do all the heavy lifting.”
