No - the Liberals have applied the original Twitter character limit when releasing their own “details”
What would a Dutton Liberal leadership mean for the Liberals and the country?

11 of the 12 past interest rate hikes under Albo and continued high government spending has ensured inflation remained sufficiently high for the RBA not to reduce interest rates.
I see you have overlooked a couple of budget surpluses - something the Liberal premature ejaculators could never achieve

9 of those 11 came before Labor's first budget, when we were still operating under the numbers from the last Liberal budget. Inflation has come down at basically the same rate as the US since it's peak as well.
this is the thing i find hard to comprehend when conservatives fill their diapers with outrage .... a lot of economic indicators have time lead-ins where the trend-line logic is already baked in (often years in the making)*
if conservatives are going to lose the lunch over this then they should be calling for tony, malcolm, scott and joshs head on a plate
* housing affordability a case in point

I doubt voters will remember or give a shit about budget surpluses come election time. Hasn’t done a thing to ease the cost of living crisis, has it?

It has, it is just hard to see unless you are at least somewhat literate in economic theory.
Which means as a vote getter it really does nothing.
But the flip side of that is that if rates do come down after the next meeting in the middle of the election campaign that those same voters will jump back on board.
I can't help but feel that a major part of Labor's strategy hinges on interest rates being cut.
Risky.
Budget surpluses are the biggest load of shit. It’s creative accounting at its finest.
All people care about is cost of living.
Despite apparently electricity prices coming down ours hasn’t moved, a regular grocery shop for a family of 5 is somewhere between $300-$350 per week. Insurance premiums are rising. Don’t seem to be getting much relief anywhere. But govt budget is in surplus?? Woopty Doo.

Clearly he's seen an opening in the market and trying to attract the disenfranchised.

It has eased it by not making it significantly worse. There's a difference between worse and much worse. Labor are not hammering this point home often enough because they are scared of the backlash they might receive. Things were always going to take a little while to get better just like everywhere that has had high inflation.

You know how your saying your electrical bill hasn't moved that means your are better off mate. You weren't seriously thinking it was going to come down? If your power bill goes up from the year before your worse off. How is saying it hasn't moved brought you to that same conclusion? You seem to be looking at things like this like a simpleton which probably supports your right wing view.
That’s the elitist reply I was after. Murdoch told me that Labor is bad. Derp

My electricity bill has come down heaps - August bill cost 0$, November bill cost 0$
And there's still $442 credit sitting there for the next bill which should be in February lol

So instead of paying 100 bucks extra your paying 20 bucks extra. Think the Derp should be heading your way " I'm worse off god dammit!!" Bloody Albo ruining my life!"

Not surprising, the recovery from covid has grated on public across the globe. Plenty of incumbents have been dismissed. Would be a massive choke if he doesn't win.

With you there. But maybe you should tell that to the Coalition and their idiot supporters, who wouldn’t shut up about them when Labor were last in power.

Guess they learned their lesson when they saw the hounding that Malcolm Fraser got for stating the bleeding obvious, that life wasn’t meant to be easy.
Well he is the guy they overlooked for Morrison instead
It is hard to believe how gullible the Australian population is - but here we are again, the guys that bought you Robodebt, half a dozen major sexual assaults including two ministers resigning, knighting Prince Philip, children overboard, weapons of mass destruction, workchoices, the abomination that is the energy sector, the housing crisis with all its associated social issues, I don’t hold a hose mate, the religious freedoms bill, soaring national debt, the guys that bought you all this - The Liberal Party - these guys deserve one last chance.
****ing lol
Inflation is now lower than what it was when the LNP left office as well.
Yeh, right up until the point the Liberals could not do it and Labor could.
So the media of course just move the goal posts and the idiots fall into line.
