‘Thoughtless’ Albanese would ‘crash the economy’: PM
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has attacked Anthony Albanese for being thoughtless and “not having a clue about the economy”.
It follows the Opposition Leader backing a wage hike of 5.1 per cent in line with inflation.
“I am attacking him for being thoughtless and not having a clue about the economy and not understanding how the economy
works,” Mr Morrison said during a media conference in Newcastle.
He slammed Mr Albanese for “not respecting the process of an independent setting of minimum wage conditions in this country”.
“What is he next proposing, if it goes to six they have to go by that and when that pushes it up to 7, they go by that?
“That is how we ended up with 18 per cent interest rates in this country under Labor. That is what causes the worst of all outcomes, which is a crash in the economy.”
