Was Jim Chalmers misleading Australians when he claimed victory on inflation last year?
Labor's economic mismanagement means higher inflation, costing all Australians.
Inflation remains high because of Labor's out of control spending and weak economic management.
UPDATE: Labor hasn’t 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?
A near $60 billion hole has opened up in Labor’s 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 – 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.
Labor’s 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.

Congratulations to Katherine Bennell-Pegg on being named 2026 Australian of the Year. 

Her remarkable journey from curious student to trailblazing astronaut and space engineer shows exactly what Australian ambition and determination can achieve. Katherine has broken barriers in science and technology, inspired young Australians to take up STEM, and shown the world what we can contribute to exploration, innovation and discovery.

We also celebrate Professor Henry Brodaty as Senior Australian of the Year, Nedd Brockmann as Young Australian of the Year, and Frank Mitchell as Local Hero for their extraordinary service to our country and communities.

Australia thrives on people who push boundaries and lift others up. Katherine and her fellow awardees embody that spirit. Congratulations to all. πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί
