    Scott Morrison blasts Anthony Albanese as a ‘loose unit’ after he called for massive pay rises for millions of Aussies which could see interest rates and unemployment soar

    By Charlie Moore, Political Reporter For Daily Mail Australia

    Scott Morrison has called Anthony Albanese a ‘loose unit’ on the economy after he shocked Australia by supporting a massive 5.1 per cent increase in the minimum wage in off-the-cuff comments.

    Mr Albanese in a press conference on Tuesday said wages should ‘absolutely’ keep up with the 5.1 per cent headline inflation rate.  

    The comment was immediately slammed by economists and business groups who fear such a big wage rise will stoke inflation and push household bills up even further.

    This would mean the Reserve Bank could be forced to increase interest rates more than otherwise, pushing up mortgage payments for millions.

    It could also increase unemployment because businesses may find it too expensive to employ as many people. 

    Speaking in Newcastle on Wednesday, Mr Morrison slammed his opponent’s comments and said he was not up to the job of running the country. 

    ‘Mr Albanese showed yesterday that he is a complete loose unit on this stuff. He just runs off at the mouth,’ he said.

    ‘It is like he just unzips his head and let’s everything fall on the table.’

    Mr Morrison refused to say what level of wage increase he favours – instead insisting the independent Fair Work Commission be left to decide without political pressure.

    The Prime Minister accused Mr Albanese of ‘throwing fuel on the fire of rising interest rates and rising cost of living’. 

    He said it was ‘no wonder’ the Labor leader has never held a financial portfolio in Government or Opposition.

    ‘He is like someone working in a small business who they won’t let near the till and the Australian people shouldn’t let him near the till,’ he said. 

    ‘Anthony Albanese says that he wants wages to go up by 5.1 per cent and he thinks that Australians don’t know what the impact of that would be on their interest rates, on unemployment, or on inflation and the cost of living.

    ‘He thinks Australians don’t get the link between these things. He thinks he can just say what he likes and you can have your cake and eat it. That is not how you run sensible, sound, responsible economic policy.’  

    Mr Morrison said favouring such a big wage increase will see Australia return to the wage price spiral of the 1970s which soar interest rates hit 18 per cent. 

    The Australian Industry Group wants a ‘modest’ wage increase of two per cent, fearing anything more will cripple small businesses.
