Stay up to date with the Liberal Party of Australia
Labor should be doing everything possible to bring inflation down.
Instead, they refuse to confront the problem at its source and rein in the government spending that is driving it.
Australians are paying the price for that denial every day through higher mortgages and rising living costs.
Only the Liberal Party has the discipline and the economic experience to restore control, ease inflationary pressure, and get the economy moving in the right direction again.

It was a pleasure to co-host the International Women’s Day Parliamentary Breakfast with @unwomenaust this morning.
This annual event serves as an important reminder for us all to recommit to the principle that every woman and every girl, regardless of where she lives, who she is, or what challenges she faces, deserves dignity, opportunity and a fair go. Not because it is fashionable, or symbolic, but because it is right.
Australian women are ambitious, they are capable and they are determined. Let’s remember that and reaffirm our commitment to seeing them all realise their potential.

Labor has mismanaged the economy, and Australians are paying the price.

$50,000 every single minute just to pay the interest on Labor’s debt.
That is how Labor is using your hard earned tax dollars. Not to fix problems, not to build the future, just to service the bill.
$1.2 trillion of Labor debt means generations of Australians will be paying for the government`s spending binge. And under Anthony Albanese, that debt is only getting bigger.
Only the Liberal Party is serious about restoring budget discipline and reining in government spending.
Only we are focused on easing inflation, lowering taxes, and taking pressure off Australian families.

Every single minute, Labor burns $50,000 on interest alone.
That is $50,000 of Australians’ money gone. Not to schools. Not to hospitals. Not to Medicare.
Despite that, Labor keeps spending. Keeps borrowing. Keeps piling it on.
The result is $1.2 trillion in Labor debt.
Debt that Australian families carry today and our children and grandchildren will pay for tomorrow.
When Labor spends, Australians pay.

This rate rise is not an accident. It is the direct consequence of Labor’s higher spending, which has kept inflation higher for longer.

According to Jim Chalmers, it’s never his fault.

This is Labor’s cost of living crisis. When Labor spends, Australians pay.

Today’s rate rise is not an accident.
It is the direct consequence of Labor’s addiction to spending, which has kept inflation higher for longer and left the Reserve Bank with no choice but to keep tightening.
Australians are paying the price for Labor’s choices. Not just in higher mortgage rates, but also lower real wages, rising tax bills, and soaring prices for everyday essentials.
This is Labor’s cost of living crisis. When Labor spends, Australians pay.

Australia is heading in the wrong direction under Labor.

Australians are paying the price for Labor’s mismanagement of the economy.

Under Labor, the cost of living crisis is getting worse, not better.

Albanese Government policy is driving inflation. Labor’s refusal to curb its spending is hurting Australians.
When the Liberals were last in government, inflation averaged just 2.1 per cent. It’s now at 4 per cent.
That’s why households have been hit with 13 rate rises in less than four years – with today’s increase the latest blow.
Feb 3
Today`s interest rate hike is a heavy blow for millions of Australians already under pressure.
It did not have to happen.
Labor’s reckless spending has kept inflation higher for longer, pushing up the cost of everything from the weekly shop to the mortgage.
Despite the warnings, they kept spending and kept borrowing.
That is not serious economic management.
When Labor spends, Australians pay.
Feb 3
Labor have nobody to blame but themselves for the inflation surge Australians are experiencing.
