Morrison to Prioritise Planned Tax Cuts

Prime Minister of Australia and leader of the Liberal Party Scott Morrison, flanked by his wife Jenny Morrison and daughters Lily Morrison and Abbey Morrison, delivers his victory speech at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth in Sydney, Australia on May 18, 2019.

Scott Morrison plans to prioritise his promised tax cuts after he settles his new ministry line up, as the nation waits to see if the coalition gets a majority in the lower house.

As counting continues on Monday the Liberal and Nationals were on 75 seats—two seats short of the 77 it needs to form a majority in the House of Representatives after providing a speaker—with Labor on 65 seats and six crossbenchers.
