On April 12, 2022, the politician was asked about the national unemployment rate. He was campaigning in Launceston, in the ultra-marginal Liberal electorate of Bass. He was questioned about the official Reserve Bank cash rate as well as the national unemployment rate.
Following this, the Labor man was unable to tell the exact answer. He seemed confused and couldn’t say whether the unemployment rate was 5 percent or 4 percent.
In reality, Australia’s unemployment rate adjusted at 4.0% in February. It was 4.2 % in early January 2022, as stated in the Guardian.
As per the ABC news, for much of Albanese’s time in parliament, from 1996 to now, it has been 5 to 6 percent.
