The federal Treasurer, Scott Morrison, has delivered a Budget to position the Turnbull government as the stable option for voters ahead of the next federal election.
The treasurer says the Turnbull government is investing in Australia's future by funding infrastructure, research, science and technology jobs and supporting the economic potential in the country's rural and remote regions.
He says as Australia's economy moves into its 27th consecutive year of growth, it can fund essential services like health and education without borrowing to pay for them.
Mr Morrison says it's been through a tough patch but there are better times ahead.
