Albanese government coming in to ‘push wages up’ lead to Australia’s cost of living crisis

Former Speaker of the House Bronwyn Bishop says the Albanese government coming in to “push wages up” has lead to Australia’s cost of living crisis.

“Immediately they set out on that,” she told Mr Murray.

Ms Bishop sat with Sky News host Paul Murray to discuss the effect of the Labor government’s policies on the current cost of living crisis.

“They pushed up in the aged care sector, they pushed it up immediately, and then had to postpone it a bit because the inflationary effect was so bad,” she said.

“Those people who got those wage increases can now buy less with the money they get, in other words it’s counterproductive.”
