New Liberal Leader Jess Wilson has made her ‘first’ announcement: a budget cut of more than $11.1 billion that will come straight out of the services that struggling families rely on.
Astonishingly, she announced this massive cut to frontline services at the Salvation Army.
Like much about this leadership change, Ms Wilson’s ‘bold’ new cuts to services are nothing new at all.
They are existing Liberal Party policies, announced respectively by two previous Liberal leaders on:
- 19 October 2023
- 9 May 2024
- 15 October 2024
- 20 May 2025
- 27 May 2025
The impact of Liberal cuts to the bottom line is more than $11.1 billion and comes just days after independent economists urged Jess Wilson to ditch her reckless economic plan.
They’ll make up the difference by cutting more than $11.1 billion from health, education, transport, housing, jobs and more.
Communities like those that the Salvation Army serve need support, but Jess Wilson’s reckless economics only offers fewer nurses, fewer ambos, fewer police, and more chaos – and all to please multinationals like Airbnb who profit from taking housing off the rental market.
Jess Wilson must outline a real plan for how she expects to cut more than $11.1 billion from the budget without wiping out the Labor Government’s surplus and impacting the services people rely on.
It can’t be done, and she knows it.
New Liberal leader – same Liberal cuts.
