Federal Trade Minister Steve Ciobo says remarks by Treasurer Scott Morrison don't mean the government is planning even deeper welfare cuts. Mr Morrison has warned Australia could face a recession and $1-trillion in debt in a decade unless the parliament passes the government's omnibus budget reform bill. He also highlighted what he calls a new divide between the "taxed and taxed-nots", saying a generation has grown up seeing government payments as a form of income.
