Jim Chalmers (Rankin, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

He can't even get a question! The new leader of the opposition was expressing some surprise about the shadow Treasurer's views. He might have appointed him, but it seems he hasn't googled him, because all of these views are well known and on the public record. But I think the other interpretation is that the new leader of the opposition agrees with the shadow Treasurer. The shadow Treasurer has called for the privatisation of Medicare, said super should be dismantled and described working from home as apartheid. Two days into the job, he said the Reserve Bank should push for higher unemployment and higher interest rates by ditching the dual mandate.
