It would appear that Chalmers and Bowen are jockeying to replace Albo as leader of labor. Why else would Jimmy go for broke with a 4 trillion anti-nuclear claim thereby shifting the spotlight from the dud Bowen to himself.
Now Jimmy could have plucked a 1 or a 2 or a 3 out of his *** but no he opted for $4 trillion dollar anti-nuclear claim. Bowen must be crushed. Bowen would need to go for a 7 or $8 trillion number to outbid Jim and be noticed by party members.
"The Australian economy would lose $4 trillion by 2050 under the Coalition’s nuclear power policy, Treasurer Jim Chalmers has warned, as he blasted “economic insanity” behind the opposition’s assumption the country will be using 40 per cent less electricity by the middle of the century."
Under Chalmers, with rocketing power prices and stubborn inflation our economy is going backwards i(f the massive immigration numbers are removed). Worse industry is fleeing overseas and living standards have dropped ~8% under Jimmy.
So methinks he has belled his cat as to the extent that his policies are damaging our economy and naturally is blaming someone else. C'mon Jim, fess up?
