Today’s increase in the unemployment rate to 3.8% is another worrying sign for Australians struggling with the cost-of-living crisis under the Albanese Government.

Labor’s pitch for a Future Made In Australia (MIA) Bill is full of spin and devoid of detail.

While hardworking families and small businesses are struggling with rising costs, the Albanese Labor Government is MIA – missing in action.

As usual, the announcement of Labor’s much-hyped merger reform package presents more questions than answers.

The Coalition secured amendments in the Senate last night to protect millions of small and medium businesses, and Australia’s forestry industry, from Labor’s higher taxes.

Today’s monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) data is a reminder of the extraordinary financial pain that hardworking Australian families are experiencing because of the Albanese Labor Government’s bad policies.

Jobs figures released today are little consolation to Australians still in the grip of a crippling cost of living crisis.

The Albanese Labor Government has finally released its Aged Care Sustainability Taskforce Report to the sector and the Opposition, but most importantly, to the older Australians and their families who have been kept in the dark on this important issue.

While any reduction in taxes and cost-of-living relief is welcome, the benefits to consumers will barely touch the sides of the pain Australian households are feeling because of Labor’s economic mismanagement.

The price of Australians’ favourite SUVs, utes and 4WDs will be jacked up by thousands of dollars under Labor’s proposed carbon tax on vehicles.

There are many sentiments in the Minister for Women’s speech today that the Coalition supports because the pursuit of gender equality is an important national effort.

A number of the measures announced require scrutiny – especially those yet to be funded by the Government.
