Labor MP Andrew Charlton says cost of living relief measures by the Albanese government helped to cut inflation “in half” last year and will help reduce inflation this year as well.
The 2024-25 federal budget was handed down by Treasurer Jim Chalmers on Tuesday.
“The Liberals can make whatever wild predictions they want about the impact of these measures,” Mr Charlton said.
“These are measures that worked to help inflation come down by half last year and they will continue to work this year to help bring down inflation in line with the government’s projections.”
