Prime Minister Scot Morrison said he will discuss with his colleagues and the opposition new laws as the federal parliament resumes today.


It is expected that the coalition's tax cuts package set to dominate discussion.

The government is pressuring Labor and crossbenchers to back its full one hundred and fifty-eight billion dollar tax cuts plan by the end of the week.

So far, Labor has refused to back the full plan.
