Interest rate cuts must come prior to next election for Labor to maintain government

Former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese needs to deliver inflation control before the next budget delivery. “I don’t think there will be an early election, there has to be an interest rate cut, surely before he has an election,” Mr Kroger said. “If there is a cut that shows he can then say look we have got inflation under control finally, things are getting better, your best days are ahead of you, but it has got to be before the next budget.”
