SHADOW TREASURER

MEDIA STATEMENT
24/06/2025
I have accepted the Treasurer’s invitation to attend the Productivity Roundtable.
The Coalition will be constructive where we can and critical where we must, and I will engage in a business-like fashion.
The Coalition will hold the government to account every step of the way and won’t be there to rubber stamp a talkfest.
It’s worth the Treasurer knowing from the outset that I believe rhetoric is no substitute for reform. I want to see honesty in how the government defines the economic problems our nation faces, and I will be looking to tangible outcomes as real measures of success.
Australia is becoming a poorer, weaker and a more dependent nation under Labor.
I look forward to being involved.
