Albanese govt ‘treating the symptoms, not the cause’ of inflation: Liberal MP
Liberal MP Aaron Violi has slammed the Albanese government for “not making tough decisions” and “treating the symptoms, not the cause” of inflation.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers will hand down the federal budget on Tuesday, May 14.
“Many of these measures are looking to treat the symptoms, not the cause,” Mr Violi told Sky News Australia.
“This is the challenge that we have, and the problem with this government – they’ve spent two years treating the symptoms, but not the cause of inflation.
“The real challenge is to get it from the 3.6 down to the 2.5 – between that two to three per cent band – and that’s where this government continues to fail.
