Treasurer needs to ‘reign in’ government spending

Nationals Senate Leader Bridget McKenzie says Treasurer Jim Chalmers needs to “reign in” on government spending. Ms McKenzie joined Sky News host Sharri Markson to discuss the latest on the inflation rate. “The average mortgage you’re having to pay another $24,000 a year just to make ends meet,” she said. “Food’s gone up ten per cent, electricity in excess of 16 per cent, and I could go on. “What Jim Chalmers needs to do in this next budget is actually reign in government spending so that Michele Bullock can actually do the right thing on interest rates.”
