Scott Morrison announces 2019 Australian federal election date

The prime minister says Australians will vote in the 2019 federal election on 18 May and puts the economy at the heart of the Coalition's campaign. Scott Morrison stresses the Liberal-National government's economic credentials and pledges to keep the country's borders safe. 'Despite global headwinds Australia's economy is strong ... we are delivering the first budget surplus in more than a decade, unemployment is low,' he says. 'With a stronger economy... we will maintain those budget surpluses without increasing taxes and pay down the debt'
