The Opposition Treasury spokesman Mr Husford accused the government of pushing people from their jobs with a misguided plan to curb inflation. He urged more private investment and warned the package would boost unemployment and harm state and local finances. The Labor Party rejected the approach, calling for public spending to boost production and private sector confidence to drive recovery.
