Q: You frequently tout that the Coalition opposed $100 billion of Labor spending but $100 billion opposed doesn’t mean a saving. Do you concede that will be hard to claw back and you haven’t detailed where the savings are coming from?
Dutton:
We’ve made commitments in relation to many programs and they’ve been properly funded. We’ve gone through all of the numbers with PBO in relation to a number of policies and we’ll release that detail. But, look, what Australians know and what generations of Australians know is that the Liberal Party will always manage the economy more effectively. The home-grown inflation that the Reserve Bank Governor has warned of won’t be an issue under us. We’ll have downward pressure on inflation and therefore, interest rates will always be lower under a Coalition Government. We’re going to provide support to families, immediate support to deal with the pressures that families are facing. And we will clean up the mess that we will inherit. We’ll get our country back on track and we’re going to help young families get into home ownership. I think that’s incredibly important and I might do one or two more and then we’ll have to go.
