Jim Chalmers calls out Angus Taylor for his ‘egregious lies’
“He [Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor] had said that we spent most of the revenue upgrades in the Budget,” Mr Chalmers at a press conference on Monday.
“These are either egregious gaffes or egregious lies.
“I caution you to take with a grain of salt anything Angus Taylor says about the economy.
“His time would be better spent coming up with alternatives rather than lies about the economy.”
Mr Chalmers will hand down the federal budget on Tuesday, May 14.
