Jim Chalmers slammed for ‘deteriorating position’ of Australia’s economy

Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume has slammed Treasurer Jim Chalmers for “deteriorating” the position of Australia’s economy.

Mr Chalmers is expected to reveal a second consecutive budget surplus.

It will make Jim Chalmers the first Labor treasurer since Paul Keating to produce back-to-back budget surpluses.

“Jim Chalmers inherited a strong economy with low levels of unemployment, and, in fact, we’ve seen a deteriorating position since then,” Ms Hume told Sky News Australia.

“Debt has increased by around $50 billion just in the last couple of years alone; spending has increased.”

Inflation rates fell again in the last month. Seems a bit hypocritical for an opposition that left office with inflation at 6.5% to criticize Labor dont you think.
