A slim majority - 51 per cent of voters - say the government has the greatest role in halting the pressure on prices.
Australians are holding Labor responsible for fighting inflation despite public attacks on the Reserve Bank over higher interest rates, with 51 per cent of voters saying the government has the greatest role in halting the pressure on prices.
But the government remains behind the Coalition on the key test of economic management, with 37 per cent of voters backing Dutton and only 26 per cent siding with Albanese despite a slight improvement in his support. The Greens held their primary vote at 13 per cent in the latest survey while Pauline Hanson’s One Nation was unchanged at 6 per cent and core support for independents nationwide rose from 10 to 12 per cent.
Chalmers set off a week of dispute over the blame for higher interest rates by warning eight days ago that high rates were “smashing the economy” but insisted this did not mean he was attacking the Reserve Bank or its governor, Michele Bullock.
