During a passionate speech at the annual John Curtin Oration in Melbourne, Treasurer Jim Chalmers did not hold back in his criticism of opposition leader Peter Dutton. Chalmers labeled Dutton as "divisive" and "dangerous", citing the Coalition's recent focus on refugees from war-torn Gaza as the main reason for his concerns.
In a bold statement, Chalmers declared Dutton as "the most divisive leader of a major political party in Australia's modern history". He also accused Dutton of putting Australia's national security at risk by granting visas to Gazan refugees without proper security checks.
But that wasn't all. Chalmers also took aim at Dutton's economic credentials, stating that he wants "higher inflation, higher interest rates, higher unemployment, lower wages, and less help" for the Australian people. In contrast, Chalmers praised Labor's efforts in boosting wages and decreasing inflation, despite the challenges of rising unemployment and a cost of living crisis.
The tension between the two leaders has been escalating, with the Coalition announcing $100 million in spending cuts ahead of the upcoming federal election. Social housing, renewable energy programs, and Labor's "Made in Australia" policy could all face the chopping block if the Coalition wins at the ballot box.
