A Dutton government will offer a tax cut of up to $1,200 (US$750) to more than 10 million working Australians in the next financial year if elected on May 4.

Liberal leader Peter Dutton is expected to make the announcement at the Coalition’s official campaign launch in southwest Sydney, where the Liberals are hoping to claw back the seat of Werriwa from Labor.
