Shadow Infrastructure Minister Bridget McKenzie has slammed the Albanese government for the “absolutely homegrown” inflation figures which they are “responsible” for.
According to figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics this week, inflation fell to 3.6 per cent in the year to March, which is down from 4.1 per cent in the 12 months to December.
“I think what we’ve seen under this infrastructure prime minister is a $25 billion cut to critical infrastructure projects in our congested cities and our regional centres,” Ms McKenzie told Sky News Australia.
‘Homegrown’: Bridget McKenzie labels Albanese govt ‘responsible’ for inflation
“That’s simply not good enough when you’re wanting a more productive and more competitive economy.
“We know, from economists’ commentary over the last week, that inflation isn’t just sticky, it is absolutely homegrown, and the fiscal policy settings of this government are responsible for that.”
