Treasurer Jim Chalmers plays down recession fears on Q+A as energy costs and inflation continue to rise
Treasurer Jim Chalmers has told ABC's Q+A he does not believe Australia is headed for its a recession, despite a worsening global economic outlook.
The Treasurer appeared opposite host Stan Grant as the only guest on Thursday night and was questioned about the lack of help the budget offered to Australians struggling with the soaring cost of living as inflation and interest rates rise.
However, when asked by audience member Anam Khan if Australia was headed back to the dark days of the 1990s, Mr Chalmers played down the risk of a recession.
