Real wages for Australian workers have barely risen in a decade because the ending of the resources boom exposed the nation’s flatlining productivity performance.
Labor’s economic team: Jim Chalmers, Andrew Leigh and Katy Gallagher at Wednesday’s press conference in Canberra.The economic policy unveiled by the party on Wednesday would do nothing to fix any of this, and in places would make it worse. The work of star Labor recruit Andrew Charlton as an independent economist brings a reality check to Labor policies. He says that
Is that Stutch having fainting spells at the prospect of a Labor Government? Oh for the good old days (soon after Abbott won) and he was on Insiders hectoring everyone about Labor's 'poison pool of debt'. Weird that LNP debt doesn't seem to be an issue for him 🤔.
Whoever wrote this article:
Where’s the unbiased article on the awesome plan the coalition has Mmmm, no wonder people are turning away from AFR
And the bigger picture is still too big for your tiny framings.
Whose fault is it?
Fuck off. The constant LNP supporters 'economy' myth with no tangible plan from the LNP other than trillion dollar debt and 5% inflation shows how cooked they are.
notice nobody put their name to this article, why would that be?
$5.5 Billion went down the gutter
Vote out corrupt LNP who ruined the Economy
Financial review is Murdoch’s Newscorp news that comes straight out of Murdoch’s crack 💩
Perhaps Labor was not expecting such a significant inflation hike because it thought that the LNP forecasts, proudly trumpeted by the Costello Cartel were actually going to be accurate.
How to say “I’m a clueless lapdog stooge” without saying it. Well done nameless bottomfeeder who wrote the article. I must say, keep up the good work though, because the odds are getting better and better for AlboForPM
Do I sense the dead hand of Michael Stuchbury behind this dreadful piece of partisan hyperbole? Blaming Labor for a decade of the inability of the LNP to do anything about anything. I'm guessing he's backing the LNP for another three years to to well, do nothing again.
This is a photo of the A Team
Did Scott Morrison draft this up for you to white label? Outstanding work guys.
Echidna sneezes on tourist, Labor to be investigated (just in case something g can be made to stick). That is such a sad excuse for political journalism.
Can't say I'm surprised no one wanted to put their name against this trash article.. how embaressing. MStutch bailey_pbailey JoGrayAFR - I thought there were rules regarding paid advertisement having to be stated as such? How can you publish this crap with a straight face...
Actually the financial plan of all parties is to create debt slaves ...otherwise the music stops....debt will be 2 trillion by 2030...ALP advantage is empathy and less reluctant to constantly pander to the rich....
This article was probably written by LNP stooge Stuchberry hence why it is complete 💩.
And not just under the watch of any particular governing party, what Australia does about climate change will have absolutely no influence on the outcome of any measures, stop the cutting down of the earths lungs, slow the Chinese expansion down same with America and Europe
And the dumbest take of the days goes to whoever wrote this shit.
My feeling about the inflation rate of 5.1% is a hiccup brought about by circumstances out of anyone’s control, bushfires, floods both of these can and probably be attributed by labor and others to climate change, but that’s been happening since the industrial revolution
Mini Murdoch anonymous take, will take it this came from the top
this reads like a speech from a coalition spokesperson, how can you dedicate an article to blaming the nearly ten-year opposition for the state of the economy?
The Liberals had an economic plan and destroyed Australia’s economy. A $1 trillion debt that will never be repaid. Incompetent and unaccountable spending on non existent defence contracts.
Definitely no plan... we keep hearing negative comments from Labor but what is their solution?
Everyone keeps talking about a plan. Plans have specific tasks that will be executed at a specific time in a specific way. Political parties, so-called plans are at best ideas or concepts. Australia has no plan and Federal and State government is a structural problem.
So according to this, Labor is to blame for the situation Australia is in after being out of power for 9 years?
Labor, it seems, is to blame for everything. Including every LNP policy decision taken since 2013. I mean, if Labor's policies were so bad when in government, why didn't the LNP repeal them all? Or does Labor control that, as well?
The AFR overlooks 9 years of LNP clusterfuckery in government…
No. Not at all. Labor will saves is from LNP inflation and the biggest debt in our history. NeverTrustLNP LibsAlwaysTaxMore NeverTrustNewsCorp
Costello hacks. Have some journalistic integrity
What
The big news story of the day was the fact check showing Labor as the better economics manager over the last 30 years by every metric used to measure performance.
Is $45billion for inadequate navy frigates a ‘big-spending monument?
You really are just enablers of the Libs who have no future plans other than to pledge our money to whatever avenue will get them more power. They need business to grow the economy cause Libs have NFI on how to do it with 1980s vision
It says AFR view but it reads as a Phil Coorey article, which we all know is a Liberal syncophant.
LNP PR puppets say what?
AFR bad takes continue: “Real wages for Australian workers have barely risen in a decade because the ending of the resources boom exposed the nation’s flatlining productivity performance.”
You're kidding. You make a statement like that, when the incumbents have blown trillions on rorts, corruption and waste as well as ignoring or shutting down so many opportunities for Australia.
