Labor may pass Coalition's tax cuts in full if it fails to split package in Senate

Scott Morrison says Australians voted for Coalition's tax plan and he would not be splitting the legislation

Scott Morrison says he is confident the government will pass its tax cut legislation through Parliament this week, as Labor reveals it will consider backing the government's $158bn plan in full.

After Labor MPs resolved on Monday to try to convince the Senate crossbench to split the legislation to defer tax cuts for higher income earners and bring forward relief for low and middle income earners, the prime minister said he would not consider the compromise bid.
