Peter Dutton [and Greg Jericho]:

“Over three years, the Albanese Government has increased spending as a share of the economy more than any other government since the recession of the early 1990s.

It’s lifted spending by an extraordinary $425 billion

That’s about $40,000 per Australian household. [So the government is spending more on households than in the past… isn’t that a good thing??!]

Much of this spending hasn’t gone to essential services or generated economic activity.

Rather, it’s been inflationary, ineffectual, and wasteful. [for example…. Oh so it’s not that kind of speech]

Such rapid and unrestrained spending is not only adding to the debt our children will have to repay.

It’s also keeping the pressure on inflation during a cost-of-living crisis – as the Reserve Bank Governor has repeatedly pointed out.

Core inflation under this government has averaged more than double what it was under the Coalition.

Personal income taxes paid have also increased by 24 per cent under Labor.

The average taxpayer paid $3,500 more in tax this year alone – or $7,000 more for a dual income household. [they get paid more, they earn more they have more after-tax income! This is such a dumb figure. It is meaningless because individual taxes always go up in dollar terms every year because incomes go up every year (hopefully)]“
