The Economy 

6 November 2024

Like our American friends, in the next six months Australians will have a choice—a choice of continuing on a path forward with the Albanese Labor government, a government that is providing a better future for all Australians. Our government, in our first term, have started the mammoth task of turning the economy around. After almost 10 years of denial, delay and difficulties—some not of their making—we have started to turn this around. We have halved inflation. That means we have stopped much of the increase in the price of goods and services, and that impacts every single Australian. We've also given every single Australian taxpayer a tax cut, and that matters to the pay packet of every single Australian. We have created more than one million jobs. We've delivered back-to-back surpluses. That is a historical first for Australian governments of any stripe.

We have also delivered in my seat of Paterson. Today, when you drive through Hexham, you see cranes and construction. You see jobs. We are training tradies. We are creating jobs. We are making a better Australia, not just for the people of Paterson, my seat, but for each and every Australian
