Up to 10 million Australians will be handed a tax relief sweetener and $1000 bonus as the Morrison government prepares to reveal its first federal budget.
Mr Frydenberg will hand down his first budget tonight, just days out from Prime Minister Scott Morrison calling a federal election for May 11 or 18.
However, the opposition has signalled it will deliver bigger and fairer tax cuts, and put more money into schools and hospitals. He rejected suggestions the budget was about buying votes, saying Commonwealth spending would be at its lowest growth rate in 50 years.
