Mr Chalmers's claim is spin.
When the Coalition left office in March 2022, Labor was left with $888 billion of gross debt, or $517 billion of net debt. But while most of that debt was accrued during the Coalition's term, a sizeable chunk was inherited from the previous Labor government.
Labor's share amounted to either 25 per cent of gross debt
($218 billion), or 31 per cent of net debt ($161 billion).
In neither case did this represent a "tiny
fraction" of the total
