ICYMI, inflation is getting worse under Labor, and that is putting upward pressure on the cash rate and household budgets right across the country.
The average mortgage holder is already paying around $21,000 a year more in interest on their home loan than they were under the Liberals.
For renters, the pain is just as real, with rents up 22 per cent under Labor.
This government talks about helping families, but when it cannot rein in inflationary spending, it is working Australians who pay the price.
Only the Liberal Party will get spending under control, ease cost of living pressures, and make sure Australians get to keep more of what they work so hard to earn.

Such a beautiful send-off for my friend and colleague, Dr Katie Allen, this morning in Melbourne.
Her children spoke with extraordinary grace, reminding us all of the love at the heart of her life. We were also reminded of Katieβs tireless commitment to helping others — in medicine, in politics, and in her personal life.
Katie Allen leaves behind more than a record of service and a devoted family. She leaves behind a standard of professionalism, compassion, humility and courage. She showed us what it means to live a life of purpose, to lead with integrity, and to serve with heart. She will be missed.

Today, we gather to remember and honour the life of Dr Katie Allen. A woman of rare grace, intellect and courage, Katieβs impact reached far beyond politics and will endure for many years to come.
I remember the last time I saw Katie, in Canberra bringing the next generation of women leaders to meet parliamentary leaders. She could easily have been at home, resting during what were the last stages of her illness. But the fire burned as bright as it always had, in her eyes and her heart.
I miss my friend already. I will always miss her.

Was Jim Chalmers misleading Australians when he claimed victory on inflation last year?

Labor`s economic mismanagement means higher inflation, costing all Australians.

Families are doing everything they can, but under Labor the cost of living is getting worse, not better.
Today`s inflation data is not abstract economics, it is the weekly shop, the power bill and the mortgage.
Every extra dollar families are paying at the checkout or on their power bill is a reminder that Labor has lost control of the economy.
Hardworking Australians expect their government to ease pressure, not add to it. But under Labor, the cost of living crisis is deepening.

Inflation remains high because of Labor`s out of control spending and weak economic management.

UPDATE: Labor hasnβt turned the corner with inflation

As families send their children back to school this week, I am reminded of my own experience as a mum on the farm, working hard to pay the bills and put food on the table. I know those pressures. I have lived them.
Today, families across Australia are being squeezed like never before. Under Labor, food is up 16 per cent, rent up 22 per cent, and electricity up nearly 40 per cent. That is a cost of living crisis, plain and simple.
I remain determined to build an Australia where families can get ahead, where people are empowered to stand on their own two feet, and where hard work is respected and rewarded.

How has Jim Chalmers managed to blow nearly $60 billion since his last budget?
Jan 28
A near $60 billion hole has opened up in Laborβs budget forecasts and no one can explain it. Not the Treasurer. Not Treasury. Not the budget watchdogs.
Labor has racked up almost $1 trillion in debt and Australians are now paying $50,000 every minute just in interest, money that could be going to hospitals, schools and essential services.
Australians were promised transparency and responsibility. What they are getting instead is higher debt, bigger deficits and more questions than answers.

At back-to-school time, parents should be focused on whether their child will have a great year ahead β not on whether they can afford it.
Under Labor, taxes are rising, spending is out of control and debt is spiralling.
Australians are facing a cost-of-living crisis and the largest decline in living standards in the developed world.
My team and I will fix that.
Jan 27
Laborβs net zero at any cost has driven prices through the roof and pushed industries and jobs offshore.

Under Labor, we have experienced the largest decline in living standards in the developed world.

Today we pause to remember the six million Jewish men, women and children who were murdered in the Holocaust, and all those persecuted by the Nazi regime. It is also a time to reflect on the shared responsibility we all have to confront hatred, antisemitism, and apathy wherever they appear – and renew our commitment to say: never again.

Australia Day is back! A wonderful morning celebrating in Corowa.
Welcoming our newest Australians and recognising those who give so generously back to our local community is a powerful reminder of the very best of Australia and the Australian spirit.
We look out for one another and we stand up for what is right. Australians have fought for freedom and a fair go since the very beginning of our nation.
We are a great country, the very best in the world, and that is why we celebrate. π¦πΊ
