Labor Treasury spokesman Jim Chalmers has rejected the claims that Australia Labor party’s (ALP) leader Anthony Albanese cannot handle the pressure after the opposition leader abruptly left his press conference in Perth on Wednesday.
Albanese has reportedly brushed off several questions about Labor’s policy costings and whether it would post higher deficits than forecast. Instead, he argued that the ALP’s policy costings will be outlined on Thursday, two days before the polling day on Saturday.
“Our costings will be out on Thursday. They’ll be released at the same time, that the last time there was a change of government occurred,” Albanese said.
During the campaign trail, the opposition leader has come under fire for being unable to explain his own policies and has been alleged to have been duplicating the Coalition’s policies.
