FRAN KELLY Julie Bishop welcome back to Breakfast.
JULIE BISHOP Good morning Fran.
FRAN KELLY When will we get full costings of your election policies?
JULIE BISHOP We’ll be releasing all of our policies and our costings in time for the election. Now that it’s started obviously that process will begin.
This election will be about trust and confidence - who the Australian people trust to better manage the economy and to safeguard the nation’s finances.
Labor’s own economic statement released last week is a damning criticism of its performance in government. It certainly doesn’t deserve another term. They’ve been given an opportunity to govern but they blew it. The waste, the mismanagement, the incompetence has been unprecedented.
