Stay up to date with the Liberal Party of Australia
Anyone can be an inflation spotter because under Labor, you see it everywhere.
โฌ๏ธ Food up 16 per cent
โฌ๏ธ Rents up 22 per cent
โฌ๏ธ Electricity bills up nearly 40 per cent.
And the average mortgage holder paying around $21,000 a year more in interest than under the Liberals.
This is what Laborโs economic mismanagement looks like in real life. Higher bills, higher repayments, and less left at the end of the week.
The Liberal Party has been clear about the direction we would take. Living within our means to put downward pressure on inflation, delivering affordable and reliable energy, and cutting personal income taxes so Australians can keep more of what they earn.
What Australians choose to spend their money on is their call.
Our job is to make sure they can afford to make that choice.

Why canโt Labor ever take responsibility for their actions?
Jan 30
Labor refuses to take responsibility for their reckless spending which has kept inflation high.

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 Katieโs 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, Katieโs 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.
Jan 28
Inflation remains high because of Labor`s out of control spending and weak economic management.

UPDATE: Labor hasnโt 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 Laborโs 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 โ 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
Laborโs net zero at any cost has driven prices through the roof and pushed industries and jobs offshore.
