Andrew Charlton faces fierce grilling over Labor’s controversial budget

Cabinet Secretary Andrew Charlton claims the Albanese government’s budget addresses a major problem in the Australian economy.

“This budget addresses a big problem in the Australian economy, and that problem is that we have a huge amount of investment going into real estate,” he told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.

“And that investment is pushing up prices; it’s pushing out new home buyers … and our tax system was making that problem worse. So, this budget tackles that problem.”
