Jim Chalmers expands on that claim a Dutton government would endanger the nation’s triple A credit rating:

The biggest risk to our AAA credit rating is Peter Dutton and the coalition. They won’t come clean on their cuts. They’ve got more than $60 billion of commitments. They won’t say where the money’s coming from. They’ve got a $600 billion off-budget fund on the way which is their nuclear reactors. So, what we’ve shown and what the ratings agencies will know now that we’ve released our costings is the budget, under us, is in a stronger position at the end of the election campaign than it was at the beginning. And that is a powerful demonstration of our responsible economic management. It also sets up a pretty clear choice. Peter Dutton’s got secret costs and secret cuts. He won’t come clean on those cuts because Australians will be worse off. When Peter Dutton cuts, Australians will pay. And so, if the ratings agencies are worried about spending, we’ve been able to put their concerns to rest by releasing our costings today. It is long past time for Peter Dutton to do the same.
