Federal election live updates: Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese campaign on day 17

Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese did all weekend, announcing a great relief of life costs for millions of Australians.

On Saturday night, the prime minister promised $ 10 billion to build 100,000 houses exclusively for the first housing buyers, as well as access to a five percent deposit, and the rest will be covered by the government.

Dutton presented an own $ 10 billion plan: a single tax cut of up to $ 1200 for workers who earn less than $ 144,000.

On Sunday, they changed their place.

The center of the launch of Mr. Albanese’s campaign in Perth was a new “instant” $ 1000 tax deduction for all workers who earn more than $ 18,200.

Policies are expected to cost $ 2.4 billion in the next three financial years.

Dutton told the faithful of the Liberal Party in Sydney that it would be “the prime minister who restores the dream of housing ownership”, and promised a new fiscal scheme that would allow the first housing buyers to deduce interest payments on the first $ 650,000 of a mortgage against their tax revenues for up to five years for people with a taxable income of $ 175,000 or less Combined income of $ 250,000 $ 25,000 for $ 25,000 up to five years with an taxable income of $ 175,000 or less, and the joint applicants who obtain a combined income of $ 250,000 of $ 25,000 for $ 25,000 of up to five years with an taxable income of $ 175,000 or less less than $ 25 years old.

This is expected to cost the federal budget $ 1.25 billion over term estimates.

He also announced that an elected coalition government would allow Australians to access up to $ 50,000 from their retirement to buy their first home.

It is not bad for a work day, but expensive promises leave an obvious question: how are they going to pay it?

Mr. Dutton declared on Sunday that he would reduce the expenses of $ 100 billion if he was chosen, composed of “ineffective” not revealed measures that the Labor Government brought.

Labor has declared that their success in driving for inherited debt has allowed them to spend on new measures, to which Treasurer Jim Chalmers often refers as “investments.”

The federal budget, published a few days before Albanese called the elections, revealed a deficit of $ 27.6 billion, which is expected to be deepened of $ 42.1 billion in 2025-26, which can only increase the financial concerns facing the next prime minister.
