Politicians clash over economic policy just a week out from election

Deputy Labor leader Richard Marles has rejected claims Anthony Albanese is making “policy on the run” in yet another fiery debate on 3AW Drive with Liberal Senator Jane Hume.

Economic policy was front and centre when the two politicians went head to head just over a week out from polling day.

Jane Hume said Anthony Albanese’s public support of a wage increase of 5.1 per cent to keep up with inflation was “irresponsible”.

But Mr Marles accused his political rival of being misleading with her commentary.
