While we're delivering relief to help with those costs of living, the Leader of the Opposition and his colleagues are planning cuts to essential jobs and services. The opposition is planning huge cuts to housing during a housing shortage and won't come clean on hundreds of billions of dollars of secret cuts to come.

In the third year of a three-year term, the coalition has no costed or credible economic policies—just a plan for savage and indiscriminate cuts. Cuts don't solve a housing shortage, they don't get power prices down and they don't strengthen Medicare. We think it's time for the opposition to come clear on what all those cuts will be and where they will come from. We know, based on the voting record of those opposite, that the coalition want higher power prices, higher grocery prices, higher housing prices, higher taxes, lower wages and, now, $315 billion in secret cuts.
