Scott Morrison handed down the Turnbull Government’s first Budget on Tuesday 3^rd May 2016, and his first as Treasurer.

Mr Morrison described the 2016-17 Budget as the Turnbull Government’s ‘economic plan’ which will focus on ensuring Australia continues to successfully transition from the mining investment boom to a stronger, more diversified new economy.  According to the Treasurer, this will be achieved in three key ways:

• Sticking to the Government’s plan for jobs and growth;
• Fixing problems in the tax system to enable the government to sustainably cover their responsibility for the next generation; and
• Ensuring the Government lives within its means, to balance the budget and reduce the burden of long-term debt.
