A new prop has made it into one of Albanese’s campaign speeches, as he holds up a printout of the Coalition’s 2014-15 budget.
Taking a question on public servants in Canberra v NSW, Albanese pivoted to attacking the Coalition for its cuts.
“This little document here, budget 2014-15, the cuts are there in the budget. $80 billion. $30 billion from education, $50 billion from health. His economic policy doesn’t add up,” Albanese said.
“On work from home, he said he’s against it, then he said it’s just about Canberra as if all public servants work in Canberra, they don’t. Public servants are at the Centrelink office up the road here.”
Minns then chimed in on how public servants under NSW differ from federal public servants.
“I’m not going to pretend to all of you here that our policy is exactly the same as the Commonwealth government’s. They’re different,” he said.
