Coalition admits immigration pledge not fully costed by watchdog
Original: Coalition MPs concede immigration pledge not fully costed by independent watchdog https://www.theguardian.com/australia-
Senior Australian Coalition MPs, including shadow treasurer Angus Taylor, have conceded that the party's immigration pledge was not fully costed by the independent Parliamentary Budget Office. The admission raises questions about the reliability of the coalition's fiscal claims ahead of the next federal election, with critics arguing the policy's true cost to the budget remains unknown.
Why now: The admission undermines the opposition's credibility on economic management at a politically sensitive time in Australia.
