Labor has made spending commitments in excess of $60 billion during the federal election campaign, according to a newspaper analysis of its spending announcements. Labor’s spending promises include $22 billion for infrastructure projects and community facilities, and $16.2 billion for climate change and energy. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg told the treasurers’ debate on 6 May that taxpayers would be the ones paying for Labor’s higher spending, while Labor will need to convince the Senate to pass the tax measures that it will need to implement in order to pay for its spending.
