Ed Husic urges Treasury Minister Chalmers to 'unshackle the economy' and muses on PM retirement

In a recent Senate session, Labor MP Ed Husic urged Treasury Minister Chalmers to "unshackle the economy", calling for a stronger growth push.

Husic also hinted that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese might be considering retirement, a suggestion that added to a growing chorus of criticism of the government's economic strategy.

The comments were part of a broader wave of party‑aligned voices calling for a shift in the Albanese government's approach to growth.
