The always repulsive Ronald Mizen has a crack at Jim “Chicken” Chalmers today:
Leading economists have dismissed Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ downbeat assessment of the global economy, citing recent upgrades in growth and warning that it should not be used to justify inflation-boosting spending.
On Monday, Dr Chalmers signalled more cost-of-living support in next month’s budget if it was “affordable”, and rejected claims that Labor’s big-spending industry policy ambitions would stoke inflation in the near term.
