What it means

The Australian (the Liberal-National opposition) has released a detailed list of proposed spending cuts totaling $31.3 billion over four years, aimed at reducing the federal budget deficit. The cuts target climate and housing programs, including scrapping the Help to Buy shared-equity scheme and slashing what it calls '' such as electric vehicle subsidies. This is a political move to fund promised income tax cuts and counter criticism that its policies are unfunded.

Accuracy & sourcesGrounded

The claim is based on the Coalition's own document, released to the media and reported by ABC News and other outlets. As a named primary source (the Coalition's official release) reported by a reputable secondary source (ABC News), the claim is solid in that the Coalition did publish these figures, though the accuracy of the underlying assumptions and savings estimates has not been independently verified.
