What Blunder Did Anthony Albanese Get Into? Unemployment Rate Mistake Explained
Anthony Albanese had failed to remember the right key economic figures during day two of the election campaign.
On April 12, 2022, the politician was asked about the national unemployment rate. He was campaigning in Launceston, in the ultra-marginal Liberal electorate of Bass. He was questioned about the official Reserve Bank cash rate as well as the national unemployment rate.
Following this, the Labor man was unable to tell the exact answer. He seemed confused and couldn’t say whether the unemployment rate was 5 percent or 4 percent.
Interest rates matter to Australians. Anthony Albanese didn’t know what the cash rate was when I asked him today. When my colleagues backed me in, he still couldn’t answer. And when he was asked about the unemployment rate – he didn’t know that either. These are important q’s. https://t.co/CieSMQKnWD
