Libs press economic credentials

Peter Dutton has pledged the coalition will shave billions of dollars off government debt by removing some of Labor’s signature policies, if the opposition wins the election. As the coalition released its costings, the party claimed it would reduce debt by $40 billion over the next four years. These include plans to cut at least two of the Labor government’s off-budget investment funds, including the $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund set up to build 30,000 new homes and the $20 billion Rewiring the Nation Fund.

Interest rates likely to be cut

Mortgage-holders are poised to bank an interest rate cut within weeks despite the latest inflation reading coming in slightly higher than expected. Underlying inflation fell to 2.9 per cent in the year to March and headline inflation held steady at 2.4 per cent, paving the way for a Reserve Bank interest rate cut at its May meeting. The trimmed mean, the RBA’s preferred inflation measure, grew 0.7 per cent in the March quarter, which pushed the annual figure below 3 per cent for the first time since 2021.

Ex-PMs pop up on campaign trail

While some former prime ministers like to keep a relatively low profile, others are front and centre on the hustings in a bid to sway votes. Liberal and Labor stalwarts have campaigned in different capacities since the election was called, with appearances and political pleas set to ramp up in the final week. All living former Liberal prime ministers attended the coalition campaign launch, with Tony Abbott and John Howard hitting the hustings alongside Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and local candidates in marginal seats and tight contests.

Coalition makes Pacific pledge

The Coalition will place infrastructure needs at the heart of a revamped development strategy in the Pacific, pledging an extra $2 billion in loans and grants to the region. Australia invests deeply in the blue continent, both to assist with developmental and humanitarian projects, and in an attempt to hold strategic sway over the region, rather than China. On Wednesday, the Coalition said it would lift the funding available from the Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific to $6 billion.
