“Another day and another Green policy that the Prime Minister has adopted”, Bandt said Sunday In a press conference in the interior of Melbourne’s St Kilda West. “Their first step is to say no, and then they adopt them and take it as an excellent sign.”

Bandt, together with the Green Senator Nick McKim, has announced a deployment policy of the supermarket prices for the first time, which includes a commission on prices that would have made references to the Acc, at the beginning of last month. Albanian announced the very similar plan of Labor on the weekend.

Even the power bills have increased, but not $ 1300 as Peter Dutton says

Speaking from Western Sydney’s Eastern Creek on the third day of the countryside, Dutton committed to cleaning up Work “Wreckage”By saying “people’s power bills increased by $ 1300”.

The Albanian repeatedly promised in 2022 to cut the power bills of $ 275 per year by 2025, which did not happen. Data from the Australian energy regulator It shows the average annual power invoice from 2022-23 to 2024-25 instead increased from $ 1698 to $ 2053.

This is, however, an increase of $ 355, not $ 1300. Factoring in the average annual power invoice estimated for 2025-26 is $ 2186, it is still far less than $ 1300 with an increase of $ 488 from 2022-23. These national data do not include areas or types of companies that can see different results.

Part of the “positive plan” of Dutton includes Seven nuclear power plantsthat he – contrary to this Many leaders in the sector, experts, high energy officials, Csiro and market operator Complaint: he says he will lead to lower energy invoices. He went back his statement that annual waste from a nuclear reactor It could adapt to a can of Coca-Colasaying instead this week that it is It would depend on “on the size of the reactor”.

Sunday, Albanian The line of attack of repeated work That a vote for the coalition was a vote for higher taxes. This statement is premature, because the coalition could still announce a tax cutting policy and ignores Dutton’s plan to cut the fuel excise duties for 12 months.

“(Dutton) will go to the elections not only having voted against our tax cuts this week, he is saying that he will introduce legislation to increase the tax rates of all 14 million Australians,” said Albanesi by the ABC Professionals plan.

The reduction of the work of the tax rate of less than 14 % in two years, starting from the mid -2026, applies only at best $ 10 per week for people who earn more than $ 45,000. It was a surprising element of the fourth budget of Jim Chalmers, but within one day from his announcement, the shadow treasurer Angus Taylor announced that the coalition would repeal the cut of taxes if elected.

Dutton, also on Sunday, also said that his plan to halve the fuel excise duty for 12 months was superior to the “hoax” of the cut of work taxes, saying: “(Albanian) promises 70 cents a day in a tax cut that does not start for 15 months. I think this prime minister is out of contact with how much Australian pain feel”.

Has Peter Dutton cut $ 50 billion from hospitals, as Anthony Albanese said? Not exactly

Albanian I pulled his medicate card again Tuesday in Adelaide, claiming that when Dutton was Minister for Health and Elderly Assistance between 2013 and 2014, there were “$ 50 billion cut by hospitals, attempted to introduce a tax every time people visit a GP and … abolish completely”.

The budget documents from 2014-15 show that Dutton intends to cut $ 50 billion in the following decade, but its predictions have never been made. In fact, the data from Australian Institute of Health and Welfare The hospital expenditure of the shows has constantly increased in the last 12 years, even before Tony Abbott dragged himself to be Dutton from the health wallet at the end of 2014.

Dutton has tried to introduce a co-setting debit of $ 7 for traditionally in motion services including Standard GP consultations, Outospedaliera Pathology and Imaging Services, although after 10 months of success and backwards, the policy was downloaded in March 2015. And many GPs charged the expenses of significant gap for consultations during the work time in charge.

Peter Dutton said he will not cut medicine, no matter how many times Anthony Albanese wraps his card

The coalition denied that it would cut the medicating loans or on health and also denied the plan to cut 41,000 public employees would have had an impact on first -line services. In February, the coalition combined the thrust of $ 8.5 billion Labor to medicate.

This week, the liberals released a new television ad To say that the statement of Labor that the coalition would cut the health funding is the disinformation, although the figures they use as proof in their refutation are slightly misleading.

The announcement cites the data on the funding of the Australian government hospital to suggest that liberals gave hospitals dramatically more money when they were the last in office than work. It also indicates higher billing rates in 2021-22 as proof that they take care of medicating.

The Morrison Government has increased hospital funding Mainly to fight Covid-19With the new liberal announcement that compares the extraordinary pandemic figure with funding under the Gillard government more than a decade ago, when Australia had a smaller population to take care of. It has not been regulated even for inflation.

As for the block of welding rate in bulk, ignore the years. Medicare Lobate Freeze This happened largely pursuant to the coalition, which means that the bonus for mass invoice did not keep up with inflation, which rose when the world emerged from pandemic, causing the rate of free medical visits to go down clearly in Labor’s mandate. The block invoicing rate also reflects the number of Australians who obtain free covid vaccines, which have attenuated.

The wages remained behind Anthony Albanian as Peter Dutton claims, but it is not so simple

Dutton has repeatedly claimed real wages – the appropriate wages for inflation – have fallen under Albanians, which is technically correct. According to the last Australian figures of the Bureau of Statistics, real wages decreased by 1.1 percent during the Albanian mandate.

Looking back to real wages under Morrison, however, it is worth noting that real wages decreased even more when inflation has increased following Covid-19. Under the previous coalition government watch, real wages decreased by 2.9 percent.
