This question sounds very similar to what Peter Dutton was saying this morning on ABC TV and other interviews.

Q: Last election, you promised that electricity bills would go down by $275. They didn’t. Why should we trust you on the economy this election when you made promises that you couldn’t keep and probably shouldn’t have made? Will real living standards go up in the term? Can we avoid global recession? And have you left yourself fiscal room for a stimulus package if we do, indeed, go into a global recession?

Albanese:

What we have done is continue to have responsible economic management.

I said before – we had the biggest energy crisis since the 1970s. That’s just a fact. And you would have recognised that, in the United Kingdom, the energy bills in Europe and in the UK were impacted, indeed – some nations hit double-digit inflation. We didn’t do that.

We took on responsible economic management. And I note, as well, that as well as economic growth occurring, unemployment being low, wages going up, inflation going down, and interest rates starting to fall, in addition to all of that, what we saw in the latest figures the last quarter was per-capita incomes, as well, are growing in real terms. We have turned a corner. There are, of course, global headwinds that we are seeing. We have to deal with that.
