Labor unveils election promise costings with $19 billion price tag
Australia’s budget bottom line would be more than $7 billion worse off under a Labor Government.
The federal Opposition has released its final policy costings this afternoon, unveiling a $19 billion price tag for its election promises over the forward estimates.
Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers claims it’s a fraction of the waste clocked up by the Coalition.
“The difference between our budget and the government’s budget is $7.4 billion of investments in key economy-growing areas like childcare and training, and cleaner and cheaper energy,” he said.
“We will end the Liberal rorts and waste and mismanagement.”
The federal government unveiled 37 policies at a cost of more than $2 billion earlier this week.
