Deputy Nationals Leader Perin Davey says it’s 'a fair assessment' to suggest the Albanese government has been distracted by the Voice referendum instead of focusing on cost-of-living issues.
Deputy Nationals Leader Perin Davey says it’s"a fair assessment" to suggest the Albanese government has been distracted by the Voice referendum instead of focusing on cost-of-living issues.
“In the 18 months that we’ve had in the lead-up, we’ve heard so much about the vibe about the hands of friendship and we’ve heard very little about what this government is doing to increase productivity and to relieve pressure on interest rates to ensure that cost of living starts to go down,” Ms Davey told Sky News Australia.
“We just keep having bricks on our head rather than being able to lift our productivity, lift the pressure on interest rates and actually start to see a bit of relief on the horizon.”
