Treasurer Josh Frydenberg taken to task over handouts for struggling Aussies ahead of Tuesday's Federal Budget.
— $75 for singles and $125 for couples — to help cope with skyrocketing electricity prices.show this morning
When challenged on whether the government should instead be focused on lowering power prices, Mr Frydenberg said the two approaches were “not mutually exclusive”. “We are underwriting new generation, we are building Snowy 2.0, we have more gas in the market and we have taken on the energy networks.”“This is responsible targeted spending into key areas that lifts the productive capacity of the economy,” he said.
Uhlmann also challenged Mr Frydenberg on the government’s leadership instability over the past six years.Uhlmann: “Why have you had three prime ministers?” “I am asking you to score your own government on the one measure that everyone knows — three prime ministers. Why would a treasurer be facing a threat in his own safe seat if you have been such a safe government?” Uhlmann asked.
