Opposition Leader squarely lays recession blame at the PM's feet
According to the Federal Opposition Leader, the current economic downturn is the "Morrison Recession".
Anthony Albanese will make the claim during a speech in Sydney later today.
He will argue that the pandemic has merely exposed the economic fault lines Scott Morrison has been teetering on as Treasurer and Prime Minister.
"The Morrison Recession has hurt those in insecure work most, particularly women and young people," he will say.
"No-one could have foreseen this pandemic. But everyone could see the Australian economy was already struggling."
This is likely to be a taste of Mr Albanese's budget reply speech next week.
He will also outline Labor's belief that a social housing stimulus package is needed, and a skills and training organisation to work out what jobs are needed in the future and train people for them.
The Opposition Leader will also set down a test he thinks the government should consider for every spending measure in the budget.
"The test for new projects in the Budget should be whether a spending proposal will have the effect of boosting our economic productivity, and drives growth," Mr Albanese will say.
"In short, any dollar borrowed in the Budget must create or sustain jobs, or skill people up for those jobs."
