Prime Minister Scott Morrison emphasised the federal government’s economic credentials on the first day of the election campaign. He noted that 1.2 million jobs have been created since the Coalition was elected in 2013, while the Budget is set to return to surplus in 2019-20. Morrison also stressed that a strong economy rather than higher taxes will deliver essential services such as health and education. Morrison did not mention climate change in his first press conference, but he later stated that Australia will meet its carbon emission reduction targets.
