The war of words between parties is heating up ahead of the state election, with the NSW Premier joining his federal Liberal counterpart in accusing Anthony Albanese of being 'out of touch'.
New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet has echoed remarks from his federal Liberal counterpart that Anthony Albanese is"out of touch" with everyday Australians.
"I know its my team that’s able to deal with the challenges of today, put downward pressure on household budgets." A journalist on Friday posed to the Labor leader if he supported the Kids Future Fund initiative, which helps set up an account for children to allow parents and grandparents to contribute money that can be withdrawn for education or housing once they turn 18."No, I don't. It's certainly not a progressive idea. The biggest beneficiaries would be those people with parents, like I am, who are able to make a contribution.
Mr Albanese had said one day earlier that he did not support the NSW Liberal leader's pledge, saying it was"not a progressive idea".

The ever increasing war-of-words between the political parties will continue to heat up in the final week of the election campaign.
