On the meeting Jim Chalmers is holding with financial heads today, Jason Clare said it is all about just being a good government (which is also what former LNP senator Arthur Sinnodinos said)

Clare:

This is about discussing the outlook, making sure that we’ve got everything that we need in place. We do have the settings right. We’ve got inflation coming down. We’ve got wages going up. And this is a Government that has created more jobs in our first term than any Government in Australian history.

Australians weren’t wrong three years ago to kick out the Morrison Government. They were sick of the cuts and the cock ups, right. And they were in for ten years. It takes more than three years to clean up that mess.

But you can see from the fact that when we came to office, inflation was going up, now it’s coming down, wages were going down, now wages are going up, that we’ve created all of these jobs, that we’re making real progress. But there’s more work to do.
