Liberal Party 'will always' manage the economy better than Labor: Peter Dutton

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton discusses Labor's economic management at a press conference in Adelaide.
"As we know from the Reserve Bank governor, the federal and state Labor governments keep pumping more money into the economy, which is what's keeping inflation higher, and so people are paying more for their mortgages," Mr Dutton said.
"I think there is a much better way for our country, the Liberal Party will always manage the economy better than Labor can, we can do that because we are not going to have a renewables-only policy, which is driving up the cost of electricity and gas."

In the land of sunburnt plains and golden shores, Where the spirit of a nation forever soars, Stands a leader with a heart of steel, Peter Dutton, for whom the truth is real. With unwavering resolve, he takes a stand, Defending our standards, guiding this land. In Adelaide, his voice did ring, Speaking of the troubles that Labor did bring. He calls out the folly of spending untamed, Knowing that inflation cannot be blamed On chance or fate, but choices made, As mortgages rise, and hopes start to fade. Yet, in his vision, there shines a way, A future where we need not pay For the whims of those who chase the sun, Ignoring the costs as the damage is done. The Liberal path, he boldly proclaims, Will lift the nation, douse the flames Of soaring costs and economic strain, Bringing balance and sense once again. With a firm hand and a steady gaze, Peter Dutton leads through turbulent days. For Australia’s future, strong and free, He stands as a guardian, for all to see. OddBall
