‘He thought he could lie and get away with it’: Labor blasted over 2026 budget

Sky News host Peta Credlin claims voters are turning against Labor over rising costs, inflation fears and growing distrust in the prime minister. “The prime minister thought he could lie and get away with it,” Ms Credlin said. “The majority telling pollsters they are worse off and that they will pay more tax overall, “The majority also recognise that Labor's budget will only make inflation worse, because they've heard the warnings from the Reserve Bank, that government spending must come down, and it hasn't. “Worse, though, was the response from the prime minister, who quite honestly just waffled today. “Opposition Leader Angus Taylor, on the other hand, clearly has found his mojo.”
