The Labor government’s plan to address inflation is made of three parts which includes relief, repair, and restraint, according to Treasurer Jim Chalmers.
“Cost-of-living relief, repairing the broken supply chains that made inflation worse, and showing spending restraint in the budget as well,” Mr Chalmers told Parliament during Question Time on Monday.
“The Australian people are already paying a hefty enough price, for the wasted decade of missed opportunities and messed up priorities of those opposite.“Which is all about relief and repair and restraint in the budget.”
