Given JP Morgan has increased its prediction of a recession across the globe by the year’s end from 40% to 60% (thanks to the Trump presidency’s insane policies) what would Anthony Albanese’s plan for getting Australia through it be?

Albanese:

What we’re doing is preparing for further uncertain times. We do live in uncertain times. And part of that is the impact of global changes, including the tariffs decisions that was made by the US administration last week.

That’s why you can’t afford to have a government that is a shambles and doesn’t know what it’s doing from day to day.

You need considered orderly government and competent ministers that know what they’re doing, that set up Australia as best as possible.

You can’t change global events. What you can do is prepare for them.

And that’s one of the reasons why we turned those Liberal deficits into Labor surpluses. That’s why we have delivered real wage increases five quarters in a row.

That’s why we’re assisting with tax cuts for every taxpayer, Peter Dutton wants to cut everything except for the income taxes of 14 million Australians. He wants to rip the heart out of fairness in our industrial relations system.

Doesn’t matter if it’s work from home, same job same pay, casualisation, gender equity in the workforce, Peter Dutton does not stand for fairness. The Labor Party does. It’s part of our core values that we try to implement with all of our programs.
