Australians cry out for Labor to help with cost-of-living crisis
MacroBusiness chief economist Leith Van Onselen has called on the Labor government to focus on fixing the cost-of-living crisis “hurting” Australians rather than “fringe” referendums such as the Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
The latest AFR/Freshwater Strategy poll revealed 72 per cent of Australians want the Labor government to make the cost-of-living their most important issue this year. “Australian households are hurting; all the data shows it," Mr Van Oneselen told Sky News host Sharri Markson.“We basically want politicians to focus on these nuts and bolts core issues, not fringe stuff like The Voice which quite frankly, is a distraction.”
