Shadow Treasurer Ted O’Brien presses Treasurer Jim Chalmers for “cherry-picking” AMP Economist Diana Mousina’s comments on the recent RBA interest rate hike.

“Yesterday in Question Time, the Treasurer referred to his responsibility and actually refused to take responsibility for rising interest rates, by quoting AMP Economist Diana Mousina,” Mr O’Brien said during Question Time.

“But today, Ms Mousina told the AFR, the Treasurer had cherry-picked her comments and that she didn’t say the government was not contributing to inflation.

“Will the Treasurer apologise for misrepresenting Ms Mousina’s comments?”
