Scott Morrison has dismissed Labor's economic plan as smoke and mirrors, as both parties remain under pressure to explain how they would ease the cost of living.
Relief would flow through to struggling Australians in the form of tax relief and one-off payments for pensioners, Mr Morrison said as he spruiked his government's economic credentials. Labor hit back at the government's economic record, with Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese saying the government never takes responsibility for economic downturns and always seeks to blame other factors.
Meanwhile, Mr Albanese is in Perth along with senior Labor MPs to launch the party's official campaign as it plots its path to government through Western Australia.
