Original Note:
The claim it is a "trillion dollars in Liberal debt" is misleading. At the end of August 2013, shortly before Labor was defeated, gross debt stood at $272 billion. The Coalition government inherited that debt. It is misleading to claim it is entirely a Liberal debt. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-10-25/fact-check-jim-chalmers-liberal-debt-federal-budget/101550436
