Albanese has gone on the attack, telling voters Dutton will deliver cuts just as the previous Liberal government did.
“They did everything that they said they would not do,” he said.
“Now, if you have a $600 billion nuclear plan, you’ve got to make cuts. The money has to come from somewhere.”
Albanese has flaunted the work his government has done in providing two budget surpluses
“We’ve provided cost of living support when it’s needed, whilst getting inflation down but there’s more to do to build on the foundations to build a stronger future,” he said.
“I know that in this uncertain time with what’s going on in the world now, it’s not the time to make cuts, to have the sort of policies that we’ve seen in the last week, where they’ve chopped and changed even before the election. So how can you believe what they do after the election?”
