06.50 BSTChalmers responds to Coalition costings: 'higher taxes, savage cuts and bigger deficits'The treasurer, Jim Chalmers, is fronting the media now in response to the release of the Coalition’s costings. He sums it up: “Higher taxes, savage cuts and bigger deficits”. Now there are savage cuts in Peter Dutton’s costings, but they are just the beginning. Savage cuts to training, savage cuts to housing are savage cuts to energy and higher income taxes for 14 million Australians and more student debt for students. Theirs is a recipe for higher taxes. Savage cuts and bigger deficits all at the same time. That’s what these costings reveal today. Chalmers says the “savage cuts” (I think we’ll hear a bit of this) are “just the beginning”. We know that there will be more to come if Peter Dutton wins the election on Saturday. Peter Dutton has himself said that if he wins the election on the weekend, there will be more cuts, but he won’t tell Australians what those cuts will be. When Peter Dutton cuts, Australians will pay. Jim Chalmers on Wednesday. Photograph: Dominic Giannini/AAPShareUpdated at 06.56 BST
