Coalition's income tax cuts pass Senate in full as Labor backs down

Scott Morrison says package is a win for 'hardworking Australians quietly going about their lives'

Scott Morrison has declared the passage of the government's $158bn tax cut package through the Senate a victory for "quiet Australians", after Labor capitulated and joined the Coalition to vote for the 10-year plan.

Speaking after the package passed with only the Greens voting against it, the prime minister said parliament had voted to "reward aspiration".
