We warned and warned and warned. But Labor didn’t listen. It listened instead to the policy cowardice of Jim “chicken” Chalmers.

Australians are holding Labor to account for the financial pain from rising prices and the cost of housing, with 58 per cent saying they would struggle to pay for a major expense because their household budgets are stretched too thin.
